Marvel by a centimeter.

As much as I’m a Marvel Zombie, I have to (reluctantly) say DC.

Super Man and Wonder Woman are basically indestructible gods. The only Marvel hero at that power level is Thor who couldn’t take them both.

Oh, DC, absolutely.

Marvel.

DC is too fixated on heroes gaining abilities in a unique manner. Marvel has mutants born constantly. Marvel would win by sheer force of numbers.

@iamthemob: Not anymore. About ten years ago over 16-million mutants were killed in the genocide of Genosha. Then a few years after that, the Scarlet Witch suppressed the mutant gene reducing the number of existing mutants to just under 200. There has only been one mutant birth in about five years (girl named Hope).

@cprevite : Do you find it at all disturbing that you know all that? I personally find it cool, but then I’m comfortable with my level of disturbitude.

@JilltheTooth: Nah. I’ve been reading comics (mostly Marvel) for almost thirty years now. Been buying them every week since I was twelve.

No different than how some guys rattle off sports statistics or minutia about cars.

Well, I’d give the edge to DC just because of folks like Superman and Green Lantern. Although I think Marvel would put up a hell of a fight. Also, would Dr. Manhattan be allowed to fight?

@Joker94: Doubt it as the Watchmen characters don’t exist in the DC Universe proper.

@cprevite I thought so, I just didn’t know if it was just any DC character versus any Marvel one, haha.

There are several collaborative crossover comics where Marvel and DC worked together with their respective superheroes. I have a spiderman/superman one somewhere.

DC comics, definitely, just because their characters are more fantastic, if you will. Marvel’s too human, and doesn’t immerse me in the wild improbability DC does. Despite radiation being the cause of pretty much everything save Thor in Marvel, that’s still more feasible than the majority of things that go on in DC.

@Rarebear: Yup. The most recent being Marvel vs. DC from the mid to late 90’s by Kurt Busiek and George Perez.

Better superheroes? DC Comics.

Stronger [overpowered] superheroes? Marvel.

Simple.

I’m definitely a Marvel girl :)

I am a fan of the angst of the Marvel characters, but acknowledge the DC superheroes are more invincible.
As a matter of fact, that is one of the cooler things about the Marvel supes.

I mean DC has Batman, but aside from that, dc is pretty friggin boring.
