Marvel's Firestorm - Nuke of Squadron Supreme
Some of you Match-heads may not realize that Marvel Comics had their own version of Firestorm. Back in 1969, Marvel introduced a team of villains to battle the Avengers called the Squadron Sinister. These characters were purposely based upon the JLA from DC Comics. This was done to give the fans what they wanted -- The Avengers vs The JLA. Then in 1971, Marvel introduced the Squadron Supreme. Essentially, the same team as the Squadron Sinister, but this time they were good guys. Then in 1977 over at DC Comics, Gerry Conway created Firestorm. Firestorm was inspired by Gerry's time writing Marvel's Spider-Man. In 1980, Firestorm joined the JLA. In 1981 when Marvel's Squadron Supreme appeared in The Defenders, they featured a new member named Nuke! So, Marvel's Nuke was an idea ripped off from DC's Firestorm. DC's Firestorm (a member of the JLA) was ripped off from Marvel's Spider-Man. Marvel's Squadron Supreme was ripped off from DC's JLA.
