Marvel vs. DC: A Winner is Chosen

[joshuaboy]

Villains

Is the Joker more twisted than Doctor Doom? Can Apocalypse hold a candle to Darkseid? Here are the results:

​

Winner: Marvel

Games

They've both had their share of triumphs. Batman: Arkham Asylum vs. X-Men Legends. And they've both had.. well, less successful forays into the digital realm. Superman 64 vs. Iron Man: The Movie Game, for example.

​

Winner: Marvel

TV

Which is more beloved, Batman: The Animated Series or the 1990's X-Men Animated Series? Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman or Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno's Incredible Hulk?

​

Winner: DC

Movies

This was the category that was won by a landslide. It pit The Dark Knight vs. Iron Man and Supergirl vs. Daredevil. Who came out the victor?

Winner: Marvel

Overall Winner: MARVEL

Winning four out of the five categories, Marvel came out on top as the ultimate superhero universe as picked by the IGN readers. It was a war valiantly fought by both parties, but it was ultimately the House of Ideas that won the day.

Excelsior!

[nujerz84]

As a kid I prefered marvel... now I like DC more.

 

[earth two superman]

ill put it this way.

I like some marvel heroes, but i love the DC UNIVERSE.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

im a DC type of guy

 

[KeepOnPushing]

i like Marvel WAY more than DC , i cant stand majority of DC characters.

 

[gns]

its known marvel>>>>>>>>>dc
i think on average dc cats seem to be stronger though, but there is always that one cat like a sentry or somebody that will murk a couple dc niggaz.

Marvel has more villains wit big names over DC villians, while DC superheros has big names then Marvels....real talk more people know about aquaman then scott summers, i fucks wit them both heavy....

marvel has better characters but dc has better stories..

u shouldve put a poll up..

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

both of them suck

 

[Knives Amilli]

I love DC (or at least what DC used to be) but i'd be the first person to admit that Marvel is better in most aspects. Herowise, its arguable, but id actually say that DC has more iconic heroes.

DC villains suck for the most part and they only have one villain (Luthor) that approaches the complexity of Mags or Doom. And Marvel's second tier villains is where they really shine. Think about it: DC frequently has to go to the Luthor/Joker/Deathstroke/Darkseid/Crisis villains/Superman villains well, whereas secondtier Marvels like Thanos, Annihilus, Galactus, Kang, Ultron have gotten just as much if not more usage than the bigger villains of Marvel.

Movies: Marvel no question. Given their track record in the 90's who ever figured they'd be on the level they're on now?

Video Games: Marvel. The vs. series speaks for itself.

TV: This is the only category that DC clearly imo presides over because of the Dini/Timm Verse.

u shouldve put a poll up..

I just copied the article. I think it WAS decided by a poll.

But there could be a spinoff thread with a poll for the IC

 

[ghost!]

no disrespect to DC

but i f with Marvel hard (no brokback)

the stories, the characters and the art...Marvel all day!

 

[jaxn]

Marvel for the win Alex

 

[dallas' 4 eva]

Honestly how could you say anything other than Marvel. Only DC superhero I ever fucked with(also happens to be my favorite of all time) is Batman. Other than that rest of them niggas were always trash to me.

 

[ShencotheMC]

I can't co-sign some of the ish in this thread. The majority of DC's characters seem more realistic. Like Sion said I could actually picture seeing The Question, Batman, Green Arrow, Nightwing, etc. roaming the streets. As far as villians, Marvel got that. Movies TDK 80's Batman>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Most Marvel films. As far as TV Shows I'll give that to Marvel as well even though Batman:TAS is damn near classic. As far as Video Games Arkham Asylum and City>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>majority of Marvel games NOT having to do with snk/capcom/etc.

As a kid, I enjoyed DC and buying Batman & Superman comics all the time but as I got older, I started reading marvel more as I started to buy Spiderman, X-Men, & Wolverine comics and the stories were better. Now don't get me wrong both companies in the 90's had their epic heavy hitter stories but as the new decade approached Marvel just imo told better stories and knew how to execute them. I haven't bought a Superman comic in years b/c to be honest outside a few villains in his rogue's gallery (Darkseid, Doomsday, Luthor, & Zod) the rest of Superman's villains are wack to imo.
