From Nighthawk (Batman) to FastForward (the Flash), Marvel has never been shy about stealing DC heroes for itself - often with a sense of humor.
Marvel and DC may be competitors, but for most of their history, their rivalry has been a fond one - after all, they share writers, artists, and fans. However, there have been many occasions where the two publishers wanted to use each other's heroes without permission - often in a derogatory way. In those cases, they invent obvious versions of each other's heroes and villains - new characters who often take on a life of their own.
14 Hawk-Owl and Woody Are Batman and Robin Close Ron Zimmerman and Duncan Fegredo's Ultimate Adventures was an outright Batman satire with a lot to say about the Dark Knight and Marvel's Ultimate Universe. Jack Danner is Hawk-Owl - a crime-fighter who battles evil-doers not because of personal tragedy, but because it's the right thing to do.
11 Doctor Spectrum Is Green Lantern Close Another Coulson clone, Joseph Ledger was an ultra-patriotic hero who slaughtered any alien threat to Earth - including shooting off Thanos' fingers when he gathered the Infinity Rings in the Heroes Reborn reality. Doctor Spectrum wields a Power Prism which gives him the same construct-generating powers as DC's Green Lantern, however he doesn't have the same moral compunction against grievously injuring or killing his enemies.
7 Hyperion Is Superman Close The last of Mephisto's Squadron Supreme clones, Hyperion has long been Marvel's go-to version of Superman Hyperion is one of Marvel's strongest characters, and this was dialed up in Mephisto's Heroes Reborn reality. There, Hyperion could go toe-to-toe with Juggernaut, burned the Hulk to ashes with his heat vision, and flew through Galactus' head with seemingly no effort.
