5 Spider-Man Clones in the DC Universe

DC Comics loves to playfully imitate Marvel characters – they’ve created heroes like Red Tool, a take on Deadpool, and consistently introduce characters similar to Spider-Man.

Just a reminder, the third season of One Piece will follow Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates as they journey to the desert island of Alabasta. The cast already includes Ace (Luffy’s brother), the villain Bon Clay, Mr. 1, and Miss Doublefinger. Fans are also anticipating other characters, as the live-action series has closely followed the original story so far. A recent image drawn by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, shows the Straw Hat Pirates with their new friend Vivi and her bird, Karoo.
