Hey, to be perfectly fair, DC and Marvel built themselves on the premise of actively ripping off existing IPs. You think Batman exists without Zorro and The Shadow? How about The Fantastic Four without The Justice League of America, who themselves are ripping off their own idea of The Justice Society of America? Or Superman and all of Biblical and Greek myth. Or Spider-Man and Stan Lee going "Hey, what if Robin were the main character instead if the sidekick and also had bug powers and the name of a Pulp character from the 30's?"

Gotta think like the big dogs if you want to be one.
