isn't almost every modern hero in essence a take on Superman when we get down to it? as much as people mock him he was the "grandfather" of all superhero fiction.. also Marvel and DC share a lot of writers and ideas, the companies don't have as much "hatred" for each other as their fanbases do.. they've had Stan Lee write stories for DC and plenty of writers from both sides have helped create new characters.

comic books themselves are often retellings of ancient myths / fairy tales and scifi of old so they owe alot to thing like Flash Gordon etc..

the problem tends to come when fans make up facts or theories just to try and make their "favorite" villains look cool or even to invent lore that doesn't exist.. so we need to make sure they know "Trivia" is not a way to bypass the "no fan theories" rule.
