    The name

    The costume

    The origin story

    The type of powers

    The type of weaknesses

    … It’s mostly Superman.

        If a human character exists and then a sequel human character in the same universe has basically the same:

        Name

        Costume

        Origin story

        Powers

        Weaknesses

        … then that second human character is just an unoriginal variation copy of the original character.

          Let me try again. All humans in any non-fantasy story, are born on the same planet, with the same origin. They have the same powers and weaknesses. All your left with to distinguish one human from another in your view, seems their names and clothing.

          Am I wrong?

            Yes, you’re wrong. Basically none of those statements is accurate. When literally everyone is born on the same planet then it’s not part of your backstory. And everyone has different powers and weaknesses

              And you don’t think two characters born on the same alien planet, can have different backstories, the same way two humans born on the same earth can?
