Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were originally a parody of Daredevil. I think they have surpassed it in popularity.
-
They were a parody of other comics as well, notably X-Men (hence the "teenage mutant" part) and Howard the Duck.
-
I had no idea, that's awesome!
-
The Foot Clan vs The Hand is a solid example. The turtles getting oozed spilled on them to give them advanced powers while Matt Murdock was doused with chemicals giving him his sensory powers is another good example.
-
Also Matt's mentor is called Stick, and the turtles have Splinter
-
That's Master Splinter to you
