1. Namor predates Aquaman
2. Man-Thing predates Swamp Thing
3. Deathstroke is actually based off Taskmaster (though they both have the same creator)
4. Vision predates Martin Manhunter; now you may think I'm talking Avengers Android Vision but there is a Timely Comics Gilden Age Vision with similar powers
5. Deathlock predates Cyborg

I knew 1, but what is 3 supposed to be implying? I can only think of Deadpool being the Deathstroke copy, but I never hear about Deathstroke himself being based off anything.

Didn't know about Vision, or Deathlock. To be honest I don't recall much of Deathlock beyond the Agents of Shield series.

One of Taskmaster co creators George Perez moved from Marvel to DC and creates Deathstroke who was a mercanary assassin with a similar color scheme and some similar outfit pieces.

Taskmaster was created 7 months before Deathstroke

Not listed in the OP, but DC created Mongul as a take on Marvel's Thanos, who in turn was Marvel's take on DC's Darkseid.

I've never even heard of these Marvel characters, except Namor, about whom I only knew the name. (Evidently, he's a water dude. TIL.)

Deathlock predates Cyborg
Are these two really similar? A robot man isn't exactly a novel concept.

Straight from Google's weak-ass AI you mean. Always fact-check whatever it spews out.
