10 Marvel Characters Shamelessly Ripped Off From DC Comics

5. Vision Bears An Uncanny Resemblance To Red Tornado

Vision was created by a villain to destroy the Avengers in 1968. Five years earlier, DC introduced a character called Red Tornado under suspiciously similar circumstances.

Red Tornado first appeared in 1963 as an enemy of Justice Society of America, but one twist later, he was fighting alongside the heroes as a full member of the team.

Like Vision, he's an android created as a result of a merger between more than one entity, but that's not even the biggest similarity the characters' share. Their resemblance from a visual standpoint is uncanny, give or take a different colour pallet.

To be fair, Vision and Red Tornado have different powers and personalities which have developed over the decades, but the design similarities cannot be overlooked.
