x-men paired with the avengers is enough to take on anything DC has to offer

So they've got a dozen guys together who can beat superman?

professor x could take over stupermans head and just crush him , too ez

That comment is, for lack of a better term, laughably stupid. Superman has developed psychic blocks strong enough to keep pretty much everyone out, and he's learned a Kryptonian mental martial art that enhances that and gives him the ability to fight back. Xavier isn't even the strongest telepath in his own universe.While I do like the Marvel movies, I find the characters kind of overrated. Spiderman is still an angsty teen (read: every teenager in the history of ever), the X-Men are okay, but constant infighting makes their goal impossible to reach, the Fantastic 4's movies speak for themselves, and the Punisher is just a straight up mass murderer.

That's not to say DC doesn't have issues of their own. Superman Returns and the Green Lantern for example. Man of Steel is underrated, though.

I think that was the main problem with Superman as a character he was overpowered and no one knew his one weakness. It took DC a long time and a whole lot of lameness before they figured out ways around that issue.

Superman is way too powerful, and Batman is far too powerless.

The best part isn't that Batman is a spectator - it's that he couldn't even score front row seats.

 

[NCCommish]

Marvel and it ain't close. And I don't mean anything about the movies. I have been reading comic books for over 40 years. When I started I couldn't identify with any of those DC guys other than Batman. Batman I got, especially darker Batman. Superman? Not even a little bit. I will say Smallville changed that a lot for me even though I know that wasn't canon. Most human Superman ever shown though. But Marvel? Marvel characters were all much more human than what DC seemed to be doing at the time. Peter like Batman is driven by survivors guilt. Iron Man was an alcoholic. Thor was an egomaniac with anger issues. The list goes on. I could identify with those guys because they reflected the kind of people I see everyday. The stories were just more human.

Balderdash. Xavier might be able to affect humans and mutants, but a man who can destroy a planet wih a punch, and who can move faster than a person can see? Superman can lift Thor's hammer and once beat the Hulk into submission, not to mention that for a long time, his psychic blocks hampered him tapping into a fuller extent of his power. I know I'm sounding like a fanboy, but I legitimately think Supes can beat anyone.

Lifting the hammer isn't a matter of strength. You lift it because you have the true heart of a champion. Which is why Conan also lifted the hammer as did Capt America, Wonder Woman, and a host of other heroes.

But the weight is only felt by the unworthy. Conan did not have super strength after all. You or I could lift it, if we were truly worthy of it.

I see. Here's a random thought: How much must it suck to be an unpowered bystander in either universe?

It would kind of suck in a way. But then again in the Marvel Universe those guys pay for the power with their messed up personal lives. Still guy on the street doesn't see that part.

i can't disagree with you that Marvel did it first but that's about it. they rip off one another pretty liberally over the past few decades. that said, i don't really follow the comic books any longer. i don't try to connect the movies and tv shows (cartoons as much as the action-drama) to the original comics. it just doesn't work for me.

im sitting on 2 copies each of spawn 1-75!!!!!!!

If you want a 3rd set PM me with an offer

I'll throw in some Youngblood and Maxx too

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Also I think some of you nerds need to venture over to the comicvine battles forum

 

[Run It Up]

We can all agree that Beta Ray Bill is a better character, hero, person than Thor and Superman.

Beta Ray Bill, hope and change 2014.

phoenix was the strongest character out of marvel

One of the strongest. There are plenty of other galactic level characters out there (Galactus, In Betweener, Eternity etc.)

Either way the only reason she didn't kill Wolverine in X3 was because she chose to let him kill her (that and Wolverine means mad at the box office). Even with her restraining her powers she almost killed him.

 

[Run It Up]

Phoenix is a force of nature, one of many galactic level entities and the only one to my knowledge that is actually a mutant, which is suggested to be why it has an affinity for the characters that possess the x-gene. X-men vs Avengers was actually a good series in my opinion. Made Cyclops into a less terrible character.

Manchester Black used his telekinesis powers to give Superman a stroke during their fight. Any high powered Marvel telekinetic could do the same.

Characters in the DC Universe are just so overpowered that it wouldn't be much of a contest.

Is that the guy from Superman Vs the Elite? He got lobotomized by Superman at the end of that movie, and even with getting a stroke, I'm abput 60% sure thaf would just slow Superman doen while he healed from it.

And all of your defenses are the very reason that Superman kind of sucks as a super hero. He's a virtually invincible god, unless you are a dedicated petrologist, that doesn't make for a very compelling super hero.

 

[timschochet]

Actually, if we're talking all powerful, there's a Marvel "superhero" named Dr. Strange; pretty sure he could destroy Superman blindfolded.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

all u need to beat superman is a rock.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Silver Surfer doesnt even need that (looking past all mighty entities such as Galactus or Death), he can emit kryptonite energy at will as he has power cosmic.

 

[timschochet]

In a purely physical struggle, the Hulk would likely defeat Superman. Superman would win the first few minutes of the fight, but the Hulk would get madder and madder until eventually he was too powerful for Superman to handle.

 

[Insein]

Doomsday vs Hulk would be interesting.

To paraphrase Stan Lee when asked if Juggernaut could beat Hulk "It all depends on who is writing the issue."

To paraphrase Stan Lee when asked if Juggernaut could beat Hulk "It all depends on who is writing the issue."

Juggernaut has proven to be better than the Hulk on most of the occasions that they have fought. The only time Hulk has outright beat Juggs is when he had celestial power as a Four Horseman. Juggernaut is actually one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe. Nothing can stop the Juggernaut. He's empowered by a god.

Superman + Batman just too much firepower. Green Lantern my sneaky favorite but oh man was that Ryan Reynolds movie a disaster.

Green Lantern vs. Daredevil for worst super hero movie... it's close.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Forget about the Juggernaught, Hulk, Colossus or *insert super strong person here*, the person to beat Supes in the Marvel universe is Dr Strange since Supes is extremely vulnerable to magic.

The real people that Marvel would have no answer for is Captain Marvel (Shazam) and Martain Manhunter. MM would lock down most of the Marvel bruisers with a thought.

I'd imagine that Marvel wouldn't have much of a response to The Green Lantern Corp and the Daxamites. If you're counting the other colored Lanterned Corps.....the fight would be over before it started.

Are people basing this on the movies or the comics... they are wildly different entities if you ask me.

I think if you asked the general public to name one superhero that 9/10 times it would be superman or batman

But Marvel has far deeper consistency and don't rely just on their #1 franchise Spider-man

Agreed.

Marvel has done a way better job of promoting their second and third stringers.....particularly in the comic books. I think that's where Marvel more traditional "humanistic" approach to storylines has benefitted them. Most people can accept the omnipotence of Superman....but when DC extends those "godlike" trends to Wonder Woman( should prolly get a better name), The Flash, Martian Manhunter.....it suffers. It's only worked for Batman because they've accepted the idea that Batman is an obsessive nut and have embraced it.

One thing that generally goes unseen by most of the voters here is that DC has consistently put out FAR FAR better animated films of their characters than Marvel has.

Most people don't see them... just like most people don't actually read the comic books.. so the entire perception of the brands is based upon mainstream TV and live action movies.

Here are my ratings:

Live action movies.... as a whole Marvel > DC Some of the Batman movies may have been the strongest... but Frankly Marvel just has some many more movies and more likeable characters that they win this

Animated movies: DC is doing far better here... the Batman animated movies have been great and many of the Justice league movies have been watchable. Marvel's stuff is trash.

Animated television: DC again probably produced the best series with Batman: The Animated Series Marvel has produced some good series as well, but I'd give a slight nod to DC here.

Comic Books: I've only read Marvel here and admittedly mostly just spider-man... although I tried to read the core Batman title with DC and simply couldn't get into it because of all the crossover with the other Batman books.. there are like 5-6 Batman titles.. and they make it so that if you don't read them all you'll miss something (great marketing and all).. so I gave up. I can't properly give one or the other a rating given how little I've consumed of their titles... but I'd vote Marvel just because what they offer appeals to me.
