Hmm. Super Man was a dunce.

The Fantastic 4 and The Mighty Thor were truly Marvelous.


But Batman was awesome with his gadgets, as well as his great villians.
Wonder Woman was the hottest heroine of all time.
The Flash was so fast he applied the theory of relativity. He was so fast he was invisible. He was the original multi-tasker. He could vibrate his body and pass through walls.

Come to think of it, if he could vibrate his entire body... he could be the world's greatest lover.

I'll go with DC.
 
I prefer the Dark Horse ones, but since we only get one vote, I vote for bewbs.

Flash's foes, they finish last
to bad sometimes he's just too fast!

Batman The Brave and the Bold, Birds of Prey.
 
The best parts of super hero type comic books are the villains. Marvel has the more interesting ones so I vote for them.
 
Most of my favorites have been independents (including, but not limited to, Dark Horse). I've enjoyed both DC and Marvel at various times, but if forced to choose, Marvel's had more that I've liked.

I guess. I think Batman all by himself has a better Rogues Gallery than all of Marvel combined. Maybe if you subtract Batman entirely.

The thing that makes Marvel better IMO is the fact that amongst other things the heroes are "real" people with real problems. Peter Parker is hated, and constantly has trouble paying the rent. Hulk could go berserk at any moment and when it comes down to it a good chunk of the hero population doesn't actually trust him. Hell Planet Hulk centers around Iron Man, Professor X, Dr. Strange and Mr. Fantastic saying enough's enough and it's time for a change. World War Hulk is basically him proving don't try to kill the Hulk. Do it or he'll be pissed. The X-Men have all the social rights issues.

By contrast Superman's biggest problems are if he can get laid without blowing out the woman's back. Batman does have his tragic back story but he still could easily have chosen not to be Batman and in present his biggest issue is he can't get over a random crime from decades ago. Wonder Woman has to occasionally deal with some disrespect but could always go home.

Magneto in a sane universe would be a hero. He's a fucking Holocaust survivor who sees his people being registered by the government. (Don't get me wrong if I lived in the Marvel universe I'd demand a Mutant Registration. Magneto can and has taken out entire militaries in the past and given what happens when asteroids hit the planet I have no doubt the man could literally wipe out life on Earth if he got into the mood. Phoenix is similarly powerful. Half the time writers kinda botch that up though.

The tragic thing about Batman is that if he wanted to, he could use his fortune to help end poverty, crime & disease instead of buying stuff to throw at bad guys, and cars to impress female criminals.
 
Marvel totally screwed up Phoenix , your being too generous lol.

Magneto's character fascinates me because He's the most powerful Mutant (IMO) yet he lacks the ruthlessness of a true villain. Apocalypse on the other hand, that's a mean Mofo. I'm disappointed he was not the featured villain in 1 of the movies.

Generally speaking, What I liked about the Mutant story lines was they had the same problems non mutants had plus the burden of being a mutant.

He could at the very least do like he apparently did on the sly in the Nolan Trilogy and run a top notch orphanage instead of kidnapping kids to join his crusade. There are plenty of people (especially in fantasy where having two healthy parents is utterly unheard of) whose parents die tragically and they don't become crime fighters or criminals.

I've occasionally wondered how many Batman villains wouldn't be villains (and might be great for society) if Bruce or someone similar hooked em up with some funding. I bet Mr. Freeze would bust his ass day and night if you paid for the facility to keep Nora alive and let him work in his free time for a cure. Poison Ivy isn't even a real ecoterrorists (That's Ra's depending on the story), she's obsessed yeah but I bet you a nice little foundation to buy up nearly extinct plants and transplant them to better environments would go a LOOONG fucking way for her.

Batman is crazy and he knows it so there's that.

But yes Bruce could do so much more with his money. I honestly don't get why Gotham is such a shit hole other than he refuses to step up. By comparison it's heavily implied in several stories that Lex (who has a similar fortune to Bruce's) literally owns a third or Metropolis and directly and indirectly employes something like 60% of it's population. Granted when they got to that number it was things like pointing out at he might not own the Starbucks at such and such but employs 90% of it's patrons so logically it wouldn't be at that location without him.

Add up how much more expensive cleaning up collateral Superman damage must be vs collateral Batman damage and it's really amazing the cities aren't flipped. (Course that's just fiction. I occasionally get annoyed at Marvel where New York has fuck tons of heroes living out of New York and wonder why they don't seem to help very often. Like we know the legal reasons but in-verse where the fuck were Spiderman, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil and the X-Men during the Chitari invasion?!)

99% of the time when Spidey calls The Avengers or FF for help they're "off on a mission".
 
Marvel all the way. I was a big fan of Iron Man and the Avengers way, way, waaaaay before it was cool.

Oddly enough, I've never been much of a fan of the X-Men.

Hellboy is enough to make me love Dark Horse by himself, let alone all the other great stuff they've done.

Check out Red 5 Comics. Atomic Robo kicks ass.

Excelsior!
 
Ohh to be a construction contractor in Metropolis. You would never be without work.
 
There was nothing on the poll preventing you from picking everything you guys know?

Didn't Atomic Robo start out on the same website as 8-Bit theatre? Cus if so I second that nomination while throwing in that Webcomics were not put on the list (and I don't really think it's fair to lump them with Dark Horse and the other smaller companies. Most of which are secretly owned by DC and Marvel anyway and they just use them so they don't tarnish their "Good names." I've always been curious why Disney didn't do that years ago. Their is now (and if they didn't see the writing on the wall in the mid 90's it's cus they were in the middle of enjoying how awesome they were since Little Mermaid, Alladin, Beauty and the Beast and Lion King all coming out in a row would given anybody a swollen head) a good market for it. But a lot of them are not exactly kid friendly. Take Something like Naruto, Bleach, Attack on Titan, and market it to the WB audience.

Anyway I could reccomend tons of good web comics.
