Metaverse Comparisons

The Metaverse, while in many ways unique, has obviously shown itself to borrow or copy elements from more well known superhero properties (Or properties in general, if CC is anything to go by). Often, we see characters that we admired, feared, or just liked the look of, and channel that a character, whether we intend to do so from the start or not.

I believe its important to stand out as your own thing, with your own ideas and mythos. However, comparing a character of element of your series to another series or story can often help give things a sense of scale or at least paint a picture of what you are going for.

I for one, have seen such comparisons in many Metaverse characters, and as such, am going to detail them below.

These are admittedly just how I see them, so if its completely against what you yourself have imagined, or I had nothing to say about you entirely...well, sorry.

Coyle Command-HYDRA/COBRA
This one should be pretty obvious, I think. I'd have just stuck with COBRA for this comparison, however HYDRA is probably more well known, thanks to its meddling in the Marvel Universe. You only really get glimpses of the scope I see for the organisation on the show, for obvious reasons of budget, but this sums it up quite well, I think. 

New Villain Order-Legion Of Doom
A team of diverse villains with a shifting roster lead by one maniacal figure? Sounds about right. Admittedly they do not have the benefit of being made up of pre established villains, so perhaps they do not possess the same impact.
I want to say this also works for The Roaming Eye Of Doom, but I just feel that group has set itself up as something somewhat grander in scale.

Verbish-The Joker

Ironically not one of the many Jokers who grave the RLSV community, Verbish as a character operates on the same kind of level as the famed Clown Prince of Crime when at his best; walking the line between deranged serial killer, and nutty supervillain (at least if his desire to lift Shrewsbury into the sky are taken into account). While he doesn't dress like a clown, doesn't obsess over a man in tights and is a lot more stabby than schemey, both characters are driven by the simple fact that they enjoy what they do. Is it evil? Yes? Is it deranged? Yes. Is it fun? Definately.
They also both like knives.

Crimson Blur-Spider-Man

Betting you would have gone with The Flash for this, right? Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the Flash mythos, but I get more of a Spider-Man vibe when I watch The Quest. Not because of the costume or powers, of course, but thinking on Blur's position as a powerful, but young hero amongst older peers. He just seems to channel that same sort of Heart I see Spider-Man representing in his universe.

Apollo Hurricane-Captain America/Nick Fury

Oh wait, he hasn't shown up yet. Never mind!

Kavian Darkain-Thanos/Darkseid
This I really don't think Kavian was going for, but I can't help but veer into this direction when I think of the character. The Demon King, IE, a King of Demons, just sounds so intimidating, and coupled with his origin story of in fact influencing Satan's fall from heaven, basically conjures up the image of some kind of mad god (Or at least Demi God), and frankly that basically requires a powerful character.
This also fits with his effects on the Metaverse thus far, which have been admittedly somewhat minimal. He won't turn up at every major event, but when he does, RUN.
