This is a little gallery of Chinese superhero knockoffs. Like Spader-Man here. Why the manufacturers don't just go the extra mile and use the copywritten names is beyond me, but I suspect it has something to do with honor and morals. Wait, did I say honor and morals? Because I meant bad translation.

Hit it for five more worthwhile characters including Robert-Cop 3, Star Knight (WIN) and Specialman.
