In their respective realities. Which Company has built their heroes to be best known:

Throughout the galaxy/universe

In the future

In their respective multiverses/other dimensions

Either indivudual characters or teams, who leads the way?

Characters from both universes that is WELL known...

DC

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman

Marvel

Thor
Hulk
Spiderman
Iron man
Black Panther

I'm giving it to Marvel.

This is notoriety within in their own universe, and heroes only, so my immediate guess would be...

Individuals: Superman

Group: Green Lanterns

Single individual, Spiderman stomps.

^^^Spidey is known throughout the universe???

Carver, this us strictly in-universe, not among comic fans.

Within the actual comic book universes its DC

In our real world its Marvel

Quality over quantity.

Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the Elvis, Micbael Jackson, and Madonna of superheroes.

^^^ok, thanks!

This is why i stick to Superman threads. Much more straightforward.

They don't make better TV series. Not even close.

They make disasters that lose them many fans.

Legion of Superheroes should take all of these categories, actually. That and the GLs.

They're certainly more well known than the Shi Ar Guardians and the Nova Corps, I reckon.

yeah many humans have no idea of nova corps on earth, but GLs have been actively policing the sector.

Krypton Survivor: "Where the helll was the Green Lantern?"

GL's are like Star Wars Jedi. Same basic function as keepers or the peace, almost universal respect where even hardasses like Vril Dox defer to their authority, a corrupting "dark side" opposite lead by a Darth Vader like figure, a group of Emperor Palpatines in the form of The Guardians following a stupid prophecy..

^^^thats a crossover waiting to happen, damn...!

In DCU Superman, Green Lantern Corps, LEGION, and Darkstars are known across galaxies etc. There are also s pool me known villains like Despero (wanted on hundreds of worlds), Starro, and empires/Races.

MU has Thanos, Galactus and his heralds, Kree empire and other races.

SUPERMAN supposedly inpired the heroes/ metas of the 30th Century, despite the fact that records of the era were lost. JSA inspired later generations.

By contrast images of the MU future paint a pretty bleak look on current (every time travelling xmen tail jumps to mind. Asside from that we know Kang knows the Avengers.

I'd say Strange is better known interdimensionally than Any DCU pier. I cant put my finger on why I think it (because as I rattle them off in my head I'm thinking equal Numbers) but for some reason I've got the notion Marvel has more dimensional travellers

In Universe:

DC Heroes Are More Repected

They Get More Recognition.

Marvel Heroes are inter-galactic meddlers

They Get Infinite Negaive Press

If Recognition = Appreciation = Credit

DC Wins Hands Down

If Recognition = Alert to Danger = Menace = Etc

The Answer is Marvel

IRL

Taking All Age Demographics - All World Regions - 3 Years Old to Over 100

IRL DC Has More Recognition

Those Superman Radio Shows The TV Shows The Cartoons in the 1930s 40s 50s before we even got to the 1960s Adam West Batman & Robin TV Show and The Live Action Wonder Woman Series And The Superman Film Franchise with Actors like Richard Pryor The Supergirl Films The 90s Live Action Superman Series Lois and Clark Batman The Animated Series of The 90s (DC had both a Live Action Show and an Animated Superman Show for the kids and young adults of That Decade - Marvel Had no Long Running Live Action Show for kids and young adults for that decade)

Merchandise - People drive and have been driving and constructing custom batmobiles for decades - you'll find them in The U.S. You'll find them in Europe, You'll find them in Africa

Batman has had 2 Film Franchises and The 1960s Live Action TV Show is still in repeats on cable networks accross the world Theres the Lego Film Franchise with Lego Merch Tie In for the kids of this generation.

If you look outside your age level you'll see DC
has more Recognition IRL

In 1979 The Sugarhill Gang - Rappers Delight

Billions Of Ears Have Heard The Superman Rap

Is there a song which has the same Legendary Status world wide - where they name drop Marvel Characters... (There Isn't).

RL Commercial Revenue

It does look like Marvel are ahead.

But Current Market Activity is not the same thing as Actual Recognition.

Worldwide many people know what a hoover is
its a vacuum cleaner which named a genre

a person may buy a bosch vac and say I bought a hoover

Hoover (I actually had to check to see if they're still in existence - they are) have insane recognition - but their market share is currently not as insanely impressive as their brand recognition.

TLR

The Answer is DC

Well, it appears I misinterpreted the opening post a little, so apologies there. I thought we were identifying the single best examples of either category, rather than comparing companies as a whole.

Company wise, there's a little more parity if we stick to Earth reputations. As we expand outward into the cosmos, DC likely takes the lead, at least as far as heroes. Marvel has cosmically renown characters, but many(most?) of them aren't heroes, which seems to be what the OP wants.

I'm basing this on which characters are know on earth and which are known in the cosmic arena. in marvel for the most part if you are on earth, no one has heard of you in space and vice versa. when people want to get a way they go to space like the FF

This is exactly what i was hoping for in terms of answers, thank you.

Daredevil
and
Spectre

vs.
https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP._OFjyYszyS2FM1iB7m_M6wHaLm&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300

true but I wouldn't think a random common kree or shiar person to know them. they do have some notoriety among the heavy hitters the ones obsessed with earth I will say that

reed is Osama bin hitler to the skrulls

Two whole pages and no mention of how Captain America and the Avengers are universally respected and known throughout their Galaxy and many others......

Well, i was hoping for stuff like that, yeah.
