“Crisis on Infinite Earths” (DC) storyline began in ‘85 while the “The Infinity Gauntlet”(MC) (1st in a trilogy) storyline began in ‘91 and both preceded by “Secret Wars” (MC) in ‘84.
All with a similar type story elements, multi-verse/fate of the Univers/fighting extremely powerful beings etc.
These are just a few of the popular storylines from comics that are similar to, if not complete rip-offs, of other comics and I have no doubt that there were many others both before these and after.
All the original stories were told long ago around a campfire to people using sharpened sticks and bones for tools and weapons.
Not to mention all the characters within both universes that are obvious ripoffs from each other. Those early campfire stories you mentioned are the basis of all our mythologies and religions. When those early cultures spread and encountered other cultures, they told each other their stories and going forward they incorporated elements of these new stories they heard into their own stories.
