Marvel is more original than DC ( Even tho I love DC better)

Are there any top Tier toons in DC powerwise who are not Superman Clones, have super strength, a flash, or have a power ring?

The onlyones I can think of are Metron and Lightray. Am I wrong in this? I'm sure there are lot's of Magic toons but we won't count the ones who do the above mentioned stuff because of magic.

Honestly I think DC has had better storytelling overall, particularly recently. So despite the "cliche" powers, their stuff is an interesting and deep read.

Are there any top tiers who don't have a top tier power set? 😕

Nah, Marvel is better. Their characters are more grounded, more relatable and more interesting. DC has done some great stuff(despite the lame ass characters) but nothing beats Infinity Gauntlet, Secret Wars, Civil War, The Ultimates and all that. No, not even Kingdom Come, Infinite Crisis, The Dark Knight Returns or Sandman.

I like how more relateable Marve's characters can be, but my problem is the storytelling is often lacking. In terms of complexity, (when compared to DC).

I love reading both though.

Um Wait just a minute. Kingdom Come is Bad ASS. And Some of the Grant Morrison JLA Stories deserved to be company wide cross overs they were so good. Marvel has more diverse characters and a better cosmic setting. DC's Heroes just inspire me more. And they are more powerful and I like my heroes feeling super. It's just that DC is waaay over the top with the Clones. DAMN. Superman Clones every where, Green Lantern Clones. Shazam Clones. Flash Clones. Batman Family. Hell even Wonder Woman has clones now.

I'm not even going to touch this.

Personally, I find the complexity in DC comics a bit overrated, but I see what you mean. They do seem to genuinly try. But so does Marvel, and more often than not, they have succeeded. Now more than ever, actually.

Marvel will always be better because their characters are more realistic. Peter parker being a nerd and getting beat up before he became spider-man. I can relate to that. An alien who crashes in Kansas, but looks just like humans? I can not relate to that at all.

It's very good, excellent even. But not quite as good as some of Marvel's stories, imo.

no really truth be known is just the way that both have their hierarchy set up. The more powerful marvel beings are usually separated unlike the JLA, JSA etc who have them all on teams. Anyway, I just enjoy marvel stories more, its just a feeling. Take Infinite Crisis for example, I have every issue yet I bought it at different times. Now take Civil War, I have bought every issue the day it hit shelves. It just draws me in. It just has to do with taste.

But the struggles can make them more believable overall.

Maybe you could try to relate to Kyle Rayner, Wally West, Roy Harper, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Rusch, Jamie Reyes, and the multitude of other DC characters who aren't alien?

Exactly. It not really about relatability but more about a persons taste in comics since both have an abundance of both powerful characters and street levelers.

DC has believable characters like Validus stated but DC specalizes and sells with Batman and thier overly-powered characters and Marvel specalizes and sells with thier street-levels. DC imo has better storylines altho I do love Civil War, u just can't beat the Hush storyline with Jim Lee's art and Loeb writing.

Thats not really true though. I must admit that many times both DC Mainstream and marvel can be boring but a lot of vertigo titles like Hellblazer, Lucifer, and Sandman had be addicted.

Cosigned. 🙄

It's all about personal preference people. I prefer DC SLIGHTLY over Marvel because I find the stories more interesting and more in depth than Marvel stories. But that's not to say that Marvel doesn't have fantastic stories either. I really enjoy both companies.

Sandman spawned one of my favorite characters, Dream. And it's also one of DC absolute high lights when it comes to writing. But I can't help but feel that some of the stuff that Marvel has done outweights it. Not necessarily because of the writing, though. I can't really explain it. Their stories make me feel more connected, more involved. The character portrayals and many original ideas make up for the sometimes lazy writing.
