Thread of "similar" DC/Marvel characters
Catwoman and Black Cat
Black Cat is a villain/ally/love interest for Spider-Man like how Catwoman is for Batman and obviously they have similar features and abilities.
Catwoman came out first.

Black Widow and Talia Al Ghul
Their costumes and abilities are so similar that they can be mistaken for each other though their origins are very different. Black Widow came out first.

The Lizard and Man-Bat
Both are scientists who tried to use animal genes to fix human disabilities and tested the serums on themselves and obviously it didn't work.
The Lizard is an iconic Spidey villain and he came out first.

Red Tornado and Vision
Both are androids created by villains to destroy both the Avengers and Justice League both ending up joining both teams.
They came out the sane year

Bonus
Homelander is an obvious rip-off of Cap and Superman. He has Superman's strength, speed and laser vision and Csp's patriotism. Only downside is that he's a heartless bastard.

Deathstroke and Deadpool
Very similar abilities, weaponry and even costume design. Even their character arcs share similarities cos they basically do what they want, just that Slade Wilson is more of a villain and Wade Wilson is like an an antihero

Solomon Grundy and The Incredible Hulk
The Hulk is more popular and powerful and not a villain but Grundy came out first.

The Wasp and Bumblebee
This one is so bad. They both shrink, they both fly, they are both insects. Only that differentiates them are their race and their character arcs (one is an Avenger, the other is a Teen Titan)
The Wasp came out first. Embarrassing

Red Hood and The Winter Soldier
Sidekicks to Batman and Captain America. They both died in an explosion. They were both brought back to life as complete badasses. They were both evil and fought their partners and they eventually became good and rejoined them.

Thor and Steel
Now these characters aren't really similar but anyone who uses a hammer to fight is bound to be compared to Thor. When he fights Steel can summon his hammer like Mjonir but it's because of tech rather than worthiness.

Swamp Thing and Man Thing
"Yeah you can copy my homework but don't make it obvious"
They came out in the same year but Swamp Thing is way more popular and Man Thing is a terrible name so DC gets this one.

been seeing these guys on the sites, so why not
Plastic Man, Elongated Man and Mr. Fantastic
Plastic Man seniors both of them with 20 years but EM and Reed share very similar character traits, their intellect and their abilities and EM came out a year before Reed.

Namor and Aquaman
Apparently Marvel thought of it first.

Doctor Fate and Doctor Strange
The two most powerful sorcerers in their respective universes and they both happen to be doctors. We could really use their help right now imo.
Fate did it first.

The Atom and Ant-Man
MCU plastics may not have heard of the original. Plus i'm adding this do I don't have to include Hawkeye and Green Arrow.

Ego and Mogo
Two powerful sentient planets and they are both capable of controlling their elements and monitoring every being that lives on them. One is a villain and the other weirdly is a green lantern. Marvel beat DC to this with about 20 years.
