  Darkman, The Crow, and RoboCop are perfect examples of superhero films where the hero is more like a classic Universal monster in a lot of ways.

  DC&apos;s Solomon Grundy is also heavily inspired by the Frankenstein monster.

  Another example: Ghostrider. Johnny Blaze sells his soul, just like Faust. The difference is that Faust is driven by egotism and wants to know everything there is to know whereas Johnny wants to save his sick father.

  Always felt DC and Marvel are both really influenced by their origin time. DC came into their own late 30s into the 40s. So it&apos;s Pulp, Raypunk, detective noir and Classic Monsters. With Marvel they came into their own 60s, 70s so it&apos;s Sci-fi B-movies, Spy films, urban grindhouse and Blaxploitation. <br><br>And the best movies about either characters are the ones that realised that.

  Considering Marvel was mostly doing horror stories before the Fantastic Four and both The Hulk and Ant Man had been written as such, it&apos;s not surprising they have some overlap.

  Originality has always been a myth, &nbsp;something I’ve come into realization a while ago. &nbsp;What matters in the end is the execution.
