I think so, both are very similar in some ways. Can anyone compare their costumes, their black costumes, their loves like Lois Lane and Mary Jane, their bosses, their newspaper companies, compare Kingpin to Lex Luthor, compare Spider-Woman to Supergirl and compare Venom to Bizarro.

This is by far the most nonsensical thing you have ever posted. And given some of the stuff you've posted, that's reeeeeally saying something.
Can you compare gangrape to a marigold?

Not particularly. Any similarities are superficial at best. But once you scratch the surface... nothing in common.
Not even scratch the surface, but glance at the surface.

but I'm a sucker so I'll bite
Superficial similarities:
* Both are and or have been the leading creation for their respective universes
* Both had a bad spell in the 90's
* Both are the purported moral center of their universes -despite obvious cases where they aren't
* Both use the Red / Blue Hero colours
* Both fight Villains in Purple and green who happen to be Businessmen /Politicians / mad scientists who want to rule the world ..of course!
* Both love and loose
* Have secret identities in the newspaper business
* work at the Daily _ something
* have coworkers that know or suspect them as being who they actually are
* nether Needs Glasses
* There is an element of Radioactivity to both of them (ATOMIC SUPERMEN) /Farnsworth
* Both are friends to Dark brooding vigilantes
* Both only had good Cartoons Because of Batman Tas
* Both had stupid power upgrade retcons and costume changes that have failed to stick
* Both spent a long time looking after old feeble Maternal figures
* Have paternal issues
*
that should be enough to get you paper started Greenjeans

The answer is Yes, someone can compare Spider Man to Superman.

Yes, they can, but I'm not sure why they would.

Anyone find it interesting that GG used Kingpin in his comparison with Luthor instead of Norman Osborne?

Spiderman came from planet Arachnon, is powered by our earth's yellow spiders, and is vulnerable to Arachnonite.
Superman, on the other hand, was just a reporter who got bitten by a radioactive superintendent.

This thread...
Venom really is pretty much DC Villain - an evil copy of the hero. He fits right in with Sinestro, Reverse Flash/Zoom, & Bizzarro.

That's what i always thought, Venom is the evil twin of Spider-Man as much as Bizarro is to Superman.
On Kingpin and Lex Luthor comparisions, both are dastardly devilish bald millionaires in white suits and are both smart as hell.

Hasn't Kingpin always been baldy super-billionaire douche? Where as (if I am correct) Lex Luthor has evolved as a character to that, with him originally being a mad scientist-y type villian (obviously I prefer Xanatos-type Luthor to mad scientist type, but anyway).
