The name
The costume
The origin story
The type of powers
The type of weaknesses
... It's mostly Superman.
So all the movies about ordinary humans are mostly the same?
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?
Not in the slightest
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?
