First, there aren't as many mutants as there are at Marvel. Second, even if they gained their abilities through some form of natural genetics, it isn't really discussed. If so, Superman's genetic ability to absorb solar rays for power would make him an enemy of society. To paraphrase, it was darker, smaller, and the atmosphere was oily. This sums up the hopelessness of the Marvel universe and the hopefulness at DC. Mind you, this is for their comic universe. The DCEU is much darker.
Nevertheless, most big events DC has presented since Crisis have ended with hope. Even that legendary maxi-series displayed a life must go on attitude with, for example, Wally West taking on his late uncle's mantle of the Flash. Stan Lee decided to revamp the Marvel superhero universe in the s. To do so, he worked with people like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko to create different superheroes than the ones from the Golden Age.
Those that premiered during that first half of that decade had one thing in common: they were flawed. Spider-Man is a perfect example. His Uncle Ben used to say, "With great power comes great responsibility. Instead, he used his powers to earn money. The fact he let the killer of his uncle get away set Mr.
Parker up for a lifetime of doubt about himself and his powers. The problem a lot of DC superheroes face is they have to fight villains who are completely out of their range.
The madness inherent to characters like the Joker , who absolutely cannot be reasoned with , is unmatched over at Marvel Comics. However, Marvel superheroes have to contend with massive supervillains completely beyond their scope. Characters like Iron Man — just Tony Stark, a human in a metal suit — are in the same universe as supervillains like Ego the Living Planet. DC superheroes may have a difficult time grappling with the supervillains who have gone beyond madness, but Marvel superheroes have an entirely different breed to contend with.
At the end of the day, it really is a matter of personal preference whether one like Marvel or DC more. However, one can always choose to not pick sides and appreciate both for their characters and their original styles of storytelling.
Why stick to one, when a person can enjoy the best of both worlds. In , DC and Marvel jointly collaborated to publish a comic book limited series crossover titles DC vs. Marvel Comics. The comics featured heroes from both universes that fought against each other for their right to exist. The story is about two brothers who personify the DC and Marvel Universes. The come to know about each other's existence, and challenge each other to a series of the duels.
There were a total of 11 duels in which DC and Marvel characters fought with each other. In anyone is interested, Marvel closely won. A new entity merged both the universes together, which resulted in their respective characters merging together.
In addition, marvel takes more risks, so they come out with highly unique movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy. However, DC is better at giving their characters depth and backstories ex. One of the most common debates in comic books today is which company has a better roster of heroes. Some people prefer Marvel because they are more realistic and have a darker tone to their stories, while others enjoy DC's characters with depth and backstories. This is seen in their movies, comics, and TV shows, which focus on the struggles that these heroes are going through more often than not due to Marvel's realistic style.
They also tend to be born like ordinary people who undergo accidents and transformations to gain their power. Peter Parker was just an ordinary kid who was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained the powers of Spiderman. However, Bruce Banner is not born with his ability the Hulk.
But instead, he transforms into him from time to time because of exposure to gamma rays. Captain America was a skinny kid from Brooklyn who was turned into 'Cap' by the super-soldier serum. Superman was sent to Earth by his father Jor-El from Krypton with extraordinary abilities and given human parents on Earth, so he could be raised as an average person who would not know of the planet's destruction until it is too late.
Wonder Woman is also a demi-god who was raised on the island of Themyscira by her mother, Queen Hippolyta and trained to be an Amazonian warrior. Batman is also born at Wayne Manor with his parents Thomas and Martha, but he has no superpowers or abilities; instead, he possesses great wealth. When it comes to the differences between Marvel and DC, we need to address the similarities first. Many of the characters in the DC universe have a matching character of powers or similar circumstances to the Marvel Universe.
Jokingly, many see the DC Universe as 'darker'. That might be the case on a cinematic level but in the comics. Marvel can be pretty dark. A classic example of this is the characters Wolverine and the Punisher. On the other hand, Marvel deals with normal human with relatively normal life. Marvel heroes come from normal human just like us. Though their powers are abnormal, they still have human-like troubles.
Like Tony Clark , he is a genius but he has serious mental breakdown issue. The Joker, the greatest enemy of Batman! In terms of movies, relativity is not the only factor.
In fact, we have to consider the other factor: audience-friendly element. This is quite important since comics and movies have quite a huge gap in terms of audience types.
Generally, those who read comics are more likely to be people who actually prefer reading comics. Movies serve a much wider audience range. So how does this relate to Marvel and DC films and movies? As mentioned above, Marvel movies have more funny elements. This means they are friendlier for vast amount of audiences, from children to adults. On the contrary, DC Comics have more serious tone and topics. Although this seriousness is what makes the movies more interesting, not many people prefer this kind of element.
Especially in the current era when people often get stressed due to work, an entertaining movie is still more relaxing than a serious movie.
Combining with relativity element, which Marvel seems to be more relatable and they attract more audiences. So, those are the differences between Marvel and DC Comics. Disagree with our opinion? Please tell us what you think! Still, we love both Marvel and DC Comics nonetheless. Each of them is awesome in their own way, and we expect to see more awesomeness from Marvel and DC soon. Please wait for a few days to get this fixed! Your location:. Weather data:.
