marvel earth v dc earth

all right. following on the interesting replies to the WM thread (many thanks for a cool debate), i wondered - which earth HAS the more powerful earth-based heroes? no 'cosmics' in the equations, but we can take into account earth-based 'powers'. (ie - gaea) only one group of heroes can survive to rule the earth - the last character standing wins it for their respective world.

oh, and who do you foresee being the last hero/heroes standing after the chaff has all fallen?

marvel earth

DC has the JLA, JSA, Titans, Outsiders, Young Justice League, New Legion Of Doom, Almost all of Bat's villains, ummmm... A few independents like Anarky, GL's Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, etc... Well I'm pretty sure Kyle isn't in the Justice League anymore, John Stewart took his place. Ask Draco. Can't forget about Hal Jordan.

VS.

New Avengers, Inhumans, Eternals, X-men, Excalibur, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, Franklin Richards, Magneto, other Avenger members who are earth based EX: Quasar, She-Hulk, Falcon, Wonder Man, Vance Astrovik(Justice), Warbird, etc... Basically they reappear in the House of M series. Guys like Namor, Doc Samson, the Hulk, Genis Vell, Molecule Man Etc...

Ummm if the Presence doesn't interfere, and forbids Spectre to act, Marvel has a chance.

Actually Marvel Wins 😄

Keep the faith 🤘

I like the 'no cosmics' rule. Prevents the one-word argument 'pheonix' from taking over this discussion.

Anyway, probably Marvel, but that's what most are going to say because there's an inherent Marvel bias on this forum...we read more Marvel, know more about them, usually like them better, etc. (I'm not exempt from this rule, but I've been warming up to some DC lately). There's exceptions, of course, but not a ton.

I think the Richards family would be the last people standing. Reed's brains, Sue's protection, Franklin's raw power...they'd stick together and outlast everyone.

This was done quite a while back, and I said then that Marvel wins beacuse of the huge numbers of mutants. They may not all be heroes, but if fighting for their own survival they would be a force to be reckoned with.

Didn't Deadpool say "is everyone a mutant nowadays?".

Dirty muties.

you wouldnt have to be so concerned... phoenix is dead on earth, off in another plane of existence 😄

But still, a couple of words like "Franklin Richards" might have gotten ugly if he wasn't depowered right now. 😛

don't forget dc has wonder woman's amazon race. they are also very tough.

aren't they only tough if they stick to their island?.... a few bombs should take care of dem beeatchs

Marvel has Frankiln Richrads. ME wins.

Franklin Richards is powerless right now.

hmm...i wouldnt call him powerless...he was supposed to be ever since that run with annihilus. He was also suppossed to be powerless when he resolved the Abraxis conflict...give it a couple months and im sure his powers will be acting up again.

I agree about the Richards fam...not only do u have to worry about Reed and Doom (they r possibly related), but u cant forget uber intelligent Nathaniel Richards either...or Kangs and his relatives that occasionally pop up.

Also dont forget about the Savage Land inhabitants...Mount Wundagor inhabitants...dont forget the Eternals...Atlanteans and Lemurians...

Then all the villains that would be helping like Doom Apocalypse, Magneto, Temugin, Diablo,Sentinels and Nimrod...

Marvel would mob on DC as far as i can tell

Franklin Richards might be depowered, but Wanda isnt......

Marvel since you got Charles inthe picture.

Gaea and Molecule Man end of story.

DC lover try the fantastic four and Savage Hulk

wow! no one thinks dc can take this?? who is gonna handle the endless? like gaea, the endless are associated with earth, so they count. zatanna is another big problem for marvel. who on dc earth can take out molecule man? and has anyone figured out if his body IS human and if he can be killed?

U didn't say they, couldn't take it, only that DC is full of aliens.

" They should call it the Just us league" Hawkgirl

molecule man should not be included...at his present power he is pretty damn ridiculous...has anyone read the comic where he resurfaced and turned kosmos into the beyonder then kicked his ass?

Zatanna vs a Cube( a powerful one)? please
