Even split between them.

Any choice just shows bias,imo.

^^^except for Krypto. stick out tongue

But srsly, i'd say DC has an edge in physical power, Marvel in high end psionics.
To say its even isnt wrong.
To pick one over the other just comes down to who you like more and what powersets you favor.

DC is obviously much more powerful.

TethAdamTheRock
Id actually say Marvel has the edge in physical power, besides Superman, who can physicaly match any of those characters?

CosmicComet
Nah.

DC has it. As they focus on those kinds of characters more.

If you actually sat down and had a comprehensive scan battle of course superman would beat surfer.

After all superman is important to DC whereas Surfer is take it or leave it for Marvel. So Supes' number of showings far exceed his. And while Thor is important but he isn't even the leader of the Avengers.

Dc. Just look at all the top tier books they have had for the past decades. They have more powerful teams, too. JLA, JSA, Legion, Freedom Fighters, all-stars, etc...

Depends on where you look, but in terms of quantity, yeah.

Quality wise, you can always find a match, imo.

Xavier/J'onn

Superman Prime/Sentry

Green Lantern/Nova Prime (Richard)

Franklin Richards/Matt Tyler (Full Worlogog)

Molecule Man/Mxy

Xmen/Legion of Superheroes

dc is always more powerful, since silver age the last 50 years dc has been consistantly havin more ridiculous feats, its more even now what with new 52 nerfing and all, but still marvel cant compete with dc on the chart where the dial goes up to 11

more people pickin marvel characters in battle forum though, because marvel is more popular, thus the bias, their major characters are overrated, especially hulk, thor and surfer. not saying superman isnt overrated but marvel simply has more characters that doesnt live up to their hype

marvel characters do have more feats, thats their only advantage, because they dont reboot like dc does every 10-20 years. but then again dc has more versions of the same character to choose from

I thought that this was about Super Heroes? Mxy, Beyonder, and universe jugglers shouldn't even be mentioned. The forces that hold both universes together are supposed to be so powerful that an argument on which was more powerful is probably something that could never be proven.

^^^I agree with you, it depends on how deep you wanna get into it. thumb up

as an aside, i cant see the X Men comparing with the Legion power wise.
The Legion are just beastly. You'd have to start pulling in mutants in general/in their most powerful forms to edge out the LoSH.

X-Men and the Legion? Legion, hands down. Legion are a match for the JLA, as we have seen before. X-Men stand no chance.

Totally true, you'd have to bring out the most powerful X-Men or mutants ever to beat them. Jean Grey, Dark Phoenix and others near her level. LOSH has always been beast. Not sure if the JL could actually take them?

Zack M
Now, if we're talking future heroes, how about The Wanderers?

https://i.imgur.com/3RG0TOK.jpg

Or Justice League 3000?

https://i.imgur.com/mNOPgCM.jpg

And more importantly, DC One Million?

Does Marvel have any counterparts?

Broadly speaking, I think historically DC has had the more powerful heroes. Over the decades, Marvel has upped its superhero feats, but I think overall it still lags a bit behind DC. The main reason? Marvel generally has a better hierarchy of cosmic and abstract-type characters for doing most of the over-the-top stuff, whereas DC still relies more on its main heroes (Supes being #1 ofc) to fill in those high-end zones when a story demands it.

This is why, IMO, it is often tricky comparing heroes from different comic universes. They don't always serve the same functions in their respective domains.

Yeah. Especially if you go back several decades, pre crisis stuff. But I think dc pretty much wins every decade.

That's it.

Marvel has a lot of heroes whom can compete or beat Dr Manhattan.

DC has the overrated Mr Mxyzpltq shitting in his pants in fear of Dr Manhattan.

Mxy gave his magic to Zatanna and was weakened.

When Mxy got his magic back he said that he could Superman Prime inside out.




WF is non-canon.

The feat never happened.

Said that to Superman weak/vulnerable to Ki, Magic, Psionics, Kryptonite, Good Fighters, Bricks...

Martian Manhunter to fire...

Alan Scott to WOOD...

Green Lanterns to BATMAN...

Etc...

The mismatch is obvious.

I want disney to buy DC so we could see some crossovers
