Marvel vs DC which is the most realistic universe?

Marvel and DC came of age at different times. DC came around in the fifties where everyone was Mr. and Mrs. perfect living in suburbia surrounded by white picket fences. Its natural that such an optimistic time wouldn't relate to a modern standpoint. Marvel is simply younger and more cynical, which is why most people in this day and age would pobably fiind it to be more believable. But then again, the Big planet destroying ubervillan of Marvel is a guy wearing a Pink helmet and a dress...apples and oranges.

DC comics was founded on 1934 (Name was not DC Comics then).

Marvel Comics was founded on 1939 (Name was not Marvel Comics then).

Not that much of a difference.

IMO, Marvel is more realistic. However, I find DC so much more appealing.

Outside of a handful of interesting characters (Doom, Thor, Spidey, Cap'n, and few others) Marvel would be a snoozer.

Yes, the founding a company and becoming mainstream are different things. The majority of Stan Lee's characters as we know them came about after DC

I'd say Marvel's more realistic, only because of the personalities and thinking of the general public. From the beginning the majority of the world has never fully trusted and has feared any superpowered beings, and had taken steps to deal with them, which is very a very realistic view of how it would be. Although, DC is doing a very good job of doing that now.

Sorry, grey fox, but starting a paragraph about things being realistic and ending it with the phrase "cat/ape infusion of dna may do it" seems a bit incongruous.

Possibly , but were talking on a possible set of realism , who knows in 50 years splicing may be possible. What were pointing out though is things which are improbable and impossible because they break the laws of physic's (Eg Cyclops's powers will never happen , no mutation would make that possible , wheras angels could happen if nurtured correctly)

Outside people like Superman,Batman,and a few others there would not be a DC comics though
