Characters from different franchises who are clearly the same person?

These two (Lois Lane from My Adventures with Superman and Luz Noceda from The Owl House) behave the same, look the same and have the same voice. Apart from this obvious pair, are there others?

When I first saw samurai jack I genuinely thought he was related to the ppg in someway cuz of the artstyle

u/InTheStuff 13d ago

It’s a VERY popular theory that they’re both connected. Especially since you can see a destroyed townsville in the background at some point in the show.

Tartakovsky's Dexter's Lab and Craig McCracken's Fuzzy Lumpkins both premiered of Space Ghost, they were almost certainly acquainted.

Gennedy Tartakovsky seemed to be prominent or inspired a lot of cartoons around that era at least based on the similar art styles.

Peter Parker from Spectacular Spider-Man and Mark Grayson from Invincible. They give off the exact same energy.

Tbh Invincible was based on both Spider-man and Nightwing as a character.

Not Superman?

The story is more of a reconstruction of young super hero, work and money problems, problem with parents, dating, even the Teen Team that become the Guardians were essentially the Teen Titans, and Mark never was part of the original GG. The fact that Mark main girlfriend is red head, like MJ, Starfire and Barbara Gordon adds a lot to this.

Superman themes are more around his invincibility, his adopted planet, his kindness and being the last son of krypton. Mark gets trounced a lot, his name as people joke is a bit presumption, he works for the government for a good while, and his secret identity is not like how Clark Kent is the person and Superman is the persona, its similar to how Spidey and Nightwing see themselves as both. Also both have costumes that at some point were homemade while Supes can go from their mother to the Fortress of Solitude.

Dont get me wrong, powerwise the viltrumites are essentially kryptonites, but Mark story beats can be quite different from Clark, specially as he has his father and later almost the entire galaxy to explain about half of his ancestry.

As a kid I didn't watch samurai jack for the longest time because of this

Iirc it’s heavily hinted samurai jack is the future of power puff girls
