I think there's more of a like and dislike bias. A lot of people dislike Wolverine (not sure why) so they automatically say he'd lose a fight just cause they wouldn't want to see him win. Same goes for likes, though. If someone's a real "fanboy" for ANY character, they'll vote them through and give some elaborate explanation for how they'd win. A lot of people seem to forget that the favorites don't always win, or else it'd be boring. Yes, Batman can win a lot of fights with prep time, but, even though he's most likely my favorite character, I can safely say that if he was fighting a Green Lantern, he wouldn't have much of a chance. Then of course we have people showing feats of PIS/CIS whether its pro or con towards someone. At some point, some hero is going to beat a villain he shouldn't be able to beat, and lose to someone he shouldn't, so examples of weird things like that (which shouldn't be counted) are brought up all the time. I don't think the board is Marvel biased, I just think its based on whether or not someone's favorite character is in a fight. Someone who likes Captain America will say he has a shot at beating Juggernaut while someone who hates The Joker will say he has no shot at beating Daredevil. It's just the way things go, which is why you shouldn't judge a character on his standing in a versus forum lol.

It's like no matter what the evidence on panel says, or a characters powers and rep, for some reason, people who like marvel, tend to argue you down. And They will use an argument like Thor is more versatile than Superman to explain why Thor wins. And Thor has magic for the win. And then will say silver surfer or quasar can beat a green lanter, Who is the most versatile of every super hero combined.(what happened to versatility?) Or they will say something like Wonder Woman can't beat Herculese, even tho she clearly has the stronger magic and versatility. What is up with that? I"m starting to think the versus forum is not really for serious debate so much as people liking to just out right pick thier favorite characters instead of the ones that should win. or at the very least, they read so much of one company, that they think that only that complany should win. It's so bad that even when I think a marvel character should win, i have to argue against it just to even the playing field.

Any precrisis Krytonian is easily abstract lvl. They can punch thru time, bend reality with thier fist, move many planets at one time. The anti monitor stood up to dozens of them.

Meh, the Marvel bias is nothing new on the vs. forum. Our average demograph is about 15. They read more Marvel, and can be unreasonable.Doesn't mean there isn't good debates. So just learn to live with it or post less in the vs. forum....usually the best solution is a combo of the 2.
this whole thing doesnt bother me anymore, cuz i hardly post in the vs forums anymore anyway, most of my time is spent here..ironically, at any given moment it seems that there are the same 15-20 ppl on this particular forum, as opposed to the 60or 70 in the VS.... so either the usual more sophisticated posting on here is like kryptonite to all the 15 and 16yr olds in the VS forum or the comic forum is KMC's best kept secret😄

They sometimes try to post in here, but they don't survive long. the place is littered with their rotting corpses. 😈
There may be a bias, but i doubt it's to Marvel itself.
Some people dislike certain characters, due to the way they're defended on boards.
I never liked Wolverine, but now, i abhor him.
Same for Cap.
Same for Thanos.
Superman i argue against, but i love his stories all the same.
But i'll say this. In the versus forum, there's a battle of Odin vs Sbp. And the reasons why many think Sbp wins, are to say lightly, shallow. And shyts on Odin's history.
And i can see, how someone might take a dislike to a character at times, due to overrating or underrating of other characters.
Superman fans might piss me off, and the writers especially at times, but i will always love DC for their books.
Until its revealed that Superman is the true son of Yahweh, and Bruce outpreps him for the Throne of creation. With a batarang no less.
But until that day, DC will always be my first love.
I really do laugh at people who talk down an entire company, and hate the competition it brings to the table.
A monopoly on comics, will only shell out bad comics.

Though I will say people are getting a little greedy with the scan begging.

Fare played, I always had you down as a Marvel fan but 🙂 .... The Superboy Prime bias is this flavour of the month/year thing, that he's had since the Crisis started. By this next time next year (If you are here that long), People will have him being beaten by the Hulk, you'll see. B.T.W. if you read my posts on the SBP thread, you'll find i agree that Odin would beat Superboy Prime. I just think Leo is slightly exaggerating about Odin's power. But to be fare to him, he has proof where as I'm just a cynic.
