Which universe do you find superior?


I love all things marvel.


DC is just lame.

Evidence of DCs lameness?

The prosecution presents the following evidence from wikipedia:



Gorilla Grodd is a hyper-intelligent telepathic supervillain with the power to control the minds of others. He is also, somewhat obviously, a gorilla.



That folks is a fine example of DCs work.

Marvel = Wolverine, X-Men, Fantastic 4, Spiderman, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor, Hulk, Captain America.

DC = Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman

Actually, I think DC is more of the classic-type (Superman, Batman) and Marvel is the new age type (Wolverine, Spiderman). But I would still go with Marvel.

I like the Flash and Green Lantern from DC, and the Avengers from Marvel. I think I like Marvel's universe most, though.

And a fine example of Marvel's work is Microbe, whom of which possesses teh ability to speak to germs, bacteria, and other microorganisms.

EHh Marvel's allright but it's got two fatal flaws:
1) Too many emo self-analyzing whiny characters
2) Too many different universes/timelines/alternate characters. I mean it's ridiculous to keep track of which is which. At least DC addressed this issue with "Crisis" and made one continuous universe.

Marvel's characters are so much more multi-dimensional. X-Men and Spiderman beat everything else.

Superman's a boring lame-o (just like Captain America). If it weren't for Batman, DC would completely suck.

When I was a kid, I started with DC comics and then I discovered Marvel. I found that Marvel had better artwork, characters, and stories.

I have not read comics in long time so I can not say if DC has improved or not.

Ultimate Marvel FTW!

(Where else can you see Hulk eating an alien . . . and later on crapping him out!!!)

Don't forget that too many characters die in the Marvel Universe and always come back. I think Jean Grey has had about 12 lives about now.

DC FTW!!!

I've always been a big fan of DC, but the storylines from Marvel from the last few years kicks DC's butt.

Marvel is real people who happen to be superheros.
DC is superheros who pretend to be real people.

I like Marvel myself.
