In all honesty, in the 90s, almost all major heroes were replaced with GRIM AND GRITTY ALTERNATIVES.

Batman replaced Bruce with Azrael.
Superman "died" and was replaced with Superboy, Eradicator, Cyborg Superman and Steel
Thor was replaced with Thunderstrike
Captain America was replaced with US Agent
Iron Man was replaced with War Machine (Rhodes had actually assumed the mantle of Iron Man multiple times, the major gritty aspect was the giant guns)
Spider-Man was cloned and you got Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider, Kaine, and some other crap
