Cracked.com has a little list (I am sure it could be longer) about the origins of X-men (copycat) Superman (copycat) and The Lion King (copycat). Just remember kids – Intellectual Property Street is one way! Sad, depressing and oh so true.

Ok, so I am not that big of a Superman fan, but I do think it would be cool to be Wolverine. I would never need to find a knife or worry about a workplace injury. Just think of the reckless Jackass stunts you could pull if you were able to heal in seconds. Broken neck? No problem!

Enough of a rant. Back to work.
