Certainly fair to say, which is why I'm all ears. That being said, you have yet to convince me.I don't doubt it!

Between Vertigo and Mainstream DC, I think DC has a more defined magical community. You just listed several magic beings, which anyone can do. I judge based on books, which features a wide variety of magical beings.

I always loved that. You can almost picture somebody (or several people) coming up with a character and then having an eventual "Okay, so what's the adjective hook?" meeting.

Many of the characters I listed had their own books with their own score of magical beings, and it can grow or shrink depending on how we're defining "magic". This is why I said I think DC takes it in straight-laced, incantation-based magic. I think Marvel has more "magical" or "mystical" beings.

I see what you're saying. Good luck on convincing golgo13, though. 😛
He's just going to keep answering you with questions...

And I'd say that's a fair argument. My only contention has been that I think Marvel has more beings of a "magical" nature. I still think so.
To clarify the last posts, when I clearly say "most"...and you respond as though I said "all", even though what I said is barely a scroll away, I take it as you putting words in my mouth and responding to those instead. It's not something I hold against your or anything so dramatic, I simply have nothing to say to that.
When you ask me how I've come to my conclusion...when our entire back-and-forth has been a discussion on how we came to our respective conclusions...I take it as a doorway to a circular argument. I stay clear of that.
I'm fine with being proven wrong, just do it proper...don't stick words in my mouth and don't dismiss everything I've said just to ask me to say more.

That's a tough call, because beings like the New Gods have been called magical. Same with Imps, Angels, and DC's Elementals. So, it's tough counting everybody.

I agree, and I would concede that DC has more concrete structure in regards to its magic. In that light, I would give it to DC.

You make some great points about how discussions tend to break down here.
I especially agree with your last sentence. As a debate tactic its over used.
