5 Ant-Man and the Atom
Two scientists whose primary superpower is to
shrink, while retaining the same strength that
they possess at their regular size. The Atom beat
Ant-Man by a couple years. Both characters have
since then gone on in entirely different
directions, but one would imagine that if
inter-dimensional crossovers were easier to
perform, the two of them would regularly grab a
tiny beer together.

4 Deadpool and Deathstroke
Come on, ones named Slade Wilson, and the other
Wade Wilson? Both highly skilled assassins with
awfully similar uniforms. Deathstroke, obviously.
Though Deadpool as first conceived was a pretty
obvious spoof/ripoff, Marvel deserves props for
reworking him into the fourth-wall breaking,
laugh-out-loud antihero that hes now
becomewhich, ironically, has turned him into one
of the most unique characters in comics.

3 Namor and Aquaman
Both of them live under the sea. Both are the
kings of Atlantis. Both of them breathe
underwater and telepathically communicate with
sea life. Though most people would be quick to
say Aquaman, its actually Namor who holds the
official title of first underwater superhero. In
addition, the Sub-Mariner is actually the first
Marvel Comics character, making his first
appearance back in 1939.

2 Flash and Quicksilver
Super speed is a power that many characters
possess, but these two are particularly focused
on the whole running aspect of it. Both have a
lightning bolt motif, and both are the central
speedsters of their respective universes. The
Flash, of course, though the Flash that premiered
in the 1940s was actually a character named Jay
Garrick, whereas Barry Allen didnt appear until
over a decade later.

1 Green Arrow and Hawkeye
Two superheroes, both of whom have a bow and
arrow as their primary weapon against legions of
criminals, mobsters, robots, and aliens? Pretty
distinctive feature. Add in the fact that both of
them are cocky, self-assured, and blond, and,
well, come on now. Though Arrow arrived first,
premiering all the way back in 1941
