Marvel vs DC battle!

So, as I had mentioned in the previous blog post, I like Marvel more than DC. And I know that this is one of the biggest battles that has ever been known, and I might get yelled at for this, but I’m just throwing in my two cents into the argument. So, as I said in the last article, one of my reasons for why I like Marvel is because Marvel’s superheroes are much more brave. We can see them do things that are thought of as brave, and as I was only able to write down two examples of Marvel superheroes being brave due to length, I had many other examples, but I’ll leave that up to you guys to find out for yourself. But, Marvel has heroes that while although being very OP, we can relate to them more because they have a weakness, sometimes multiple weaknesses. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman; the top three superheroes of the DC Universe and of superheroes in general. They are basically gods compared to everyone else in their overly OP powers, their popularity, their timelessness, “always the winner” attitude, exedra exedra. And while that is good in an of itself, those very facts can also drive away people. We can’t connect to them because they don’t have a weakness. Take superman for example. During the early days of comic books, all Superman was, was a God. Sure, he had the timeless superpowers of flight, heat vision (not laser vision, it’s a common misconception), frost breath, super speed, and super strength, but at that time, if Superman happened to be in a jam that he couldn’t get out of, he’d just form another super power out of the blue, use it, and then we’d never see it again. Like, he was able to shape shift by just simply molding his head with his own hands, clear memories with a kiss, make holographic versions of himself, or even shoot a mini superman out of his hand! How the heck does that work?! *Ahem* Sorry, getting just a little worked up right there, but my point still stands. He’s invincible, he’s unbeatable, he’s perfect. We don’t expect him to have a weakness, and that includes emotions. So when the writers decide it’s time to emotionally hurt Superman, we the audience and the other characters think he has gone crazy. He didn’t learn how to cope with sadness as a young child, he never learned about that emotion. I mean, sure, he could of seen friends and family feeling sad, but he didn’t actually feel that pain that they experienced. Now before you guys say “but lost his parents and his family! That’s pain!”, no. No it is not. He was a baby when the planet exploded, he doesn’t remember anything. He didn’t know he came from another planet until his dad told him! *Ahem* Sorry, getting off topic again. Anyways, another reason why I like Marvel more than DC is because the superheroes there are not things you answer too. The Justice League is just one gigantic group of superheroes that eventually made a organization. While the Avengers were created by either Tony Stark or by SHIELD (depends on which version you look at).
