both companies have dozens of
superheroes with high flying abilities
but underneath all that flashing glamour
they have a bunch differences as well
you know I read this is who we are
accept it welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten differences between
Marvel and DC Comics Avengers time to
work for a living for this list we’re
looking at a variety of aspects and
details unique to each company’s
management and production styles that
marks significant details between them
even though they both crank out
superhero stories there are some
fascinating differences between how the
two companies go about it let’s count
them down number 10 Marvel has more
superhero teams hey there what’s up
Shazam I’m with him he’s not with me we
can honestly just explain this by
listing off a few of the many teams that
Marvel Comics has brought together over
the years first and foremost there are
the Avengers possibly the most widely
recognized all sambala in the Marvel
Universe although there’s two rivaled in
popularity by the x-men and Fantastic
Four man I love this channel
job not only do these teams have tons of
variations but Marvel also has the
secret warriors the Inhumans alpha
flight the defenders list goes on while
DC’s Justice League and Teen Titans are
more than a match for what Marvel has to
offer
they really just aren’t enough
established heroes for them to compete
number nine
Marvel’s characters die and return more
often she’s gone yeah over the years
Marvel has tried to replicate the
massive success of The Death of Superman
storyline by killing off many of their
own characters what if the more famous
examples was the death of Captain
America storyline which revolved around
the assassination of the star-spangled
Avenger the x-men series also hasn’t
been shy with offing their major players
including the death of Jean Grey
Wolverine and even Professor X himself
it makes for more dramatic storytelling
we get it but it kind of breaks the
dramatic tension if they all die so
frequently not to mention they come back
to life only a few months later we guess
it’s only a matter of time before even
Uncle Ben comes back – Ben Uncle Ben
number 8
marbles events are more frequent what do
we do can we fight
this is gonna end well we’re not saying
that DC doesn’t have their share of
large-scale comic-book events like the
wildly entertaining flashpoint or the
shocking death
Superman storylines however these events
are few and far between and that’s
really not a bad thing Marvel on the
other hand has been cranking out
universe changing events pretty much
every year heroes fought heroes in civil
war and everything changed then in
Secret Invasion
heroes fought sprawls disguised as
heroes and everything changed then
during the Dark Reign heroes fought
villains disguised as heroes and
everything change you starting to get
the picture here Marvel keeps things
moving with huge crossover story lines
but DC’s massive events definitely have
more of an impact
number seven the dark sides oh you think
doc noses your eye line both companies
are nearly equal in terms of
representing the dark sides of their
respective heroes however the
interesting differences arise in how
they handle their grimmer subject matter
sadly a venue wasn’t built with the
disabled in mind to prove a point is to
cry Marvel has reserved this more edgy
side of their properties for solo
characters like Punisher and daredevil
who you won’t often see fighting
alongside any of Marvel’s iconic names
managers lawyers booze you where do you
see on the other hand puts Batman
literally The Dark Knight front and
center and his popularity and influence
is what gave superhero comics a more
serious tone in the first place
often parodied and from time to time
even taking a little too far DC
definitely puts the darkness front and
center this is a song I wrote for
wyldstyle about how I’m an orphan
number 6 DC as animation figured out if
it isn’t me it’ll just be someone else
really who do they send after you
whether it’s a television series or
animated feature DC undoubtedly has a
stranglehold on Marvel in this
department that’s not to say that Marvel
doesn’t release as many outings as its
rival company it’s just that DC’s hit a
much higher level of quality and much
more often I am NOT a disgrace
I am the night
Batman Marvel has some brilliant strokes
with the nineties x-men and spider-man
animated series and while a few other
shows since then have done a great job
there just isn’t enough in Marvel’s
animated portfolio nuts DC on the other
hand really knows what they’re doing in
this department and DC fans have a lot
more to love when it comes to animation
what we have here is a rare opportunity
for me to cut loose and show you just
how powerful I really am number 5 DC has
a longer history faster than a speeding
bullet more powerful than a locomotive
able to leap tall buildings at a single
bound
long before Peter Parker squeezed into
his Spidey suit the DC Universe was
already bursting at the seams with a
laundry list of heroes and villains
even though both companies kicked off
around the same time it took a
generation before marble created their
big names
Superman had already soared through the
sky Batman was already prowling the
rooftops and the flash had picked up
tons of speed before the Fantastic
Four’s first issue even hit the shelves
so much of Marvel’s success rests on
characters who were created in the 60s
and 70s whereas many of the DC heroes we
loved today have been around since the
very beginning
number four DC has more standalone
stories
we already find it very impressive how
both companies somehow managed to find
writers and artists capable of
delivering brand-new storylines each and
every month on top of his already
strenuous task DC somehow manages to
find the time and extra bursts of
creativity to produce a lot of
completely standalone narratives Alan
Moore’s groundbreaking novel Watchmen
made waves in the comic-book community
for challenging the conventions of the
medium delivering a truly
thought-provoking piece of work what
happened to the American dream what
happened the American dream it came true
you’re looking at additionally grant
morrison wrote the chilling Arkham
Asylum a much more psychological look
into the relationship the Dark Knight
shares with his rogues gallery we love
traditional monthly issues with
overarching plots but sometimes it’s
nice to find something fresh and
different something that DC satisfies us
with regularly your tune dr. buddy see
number three DC’s universe is more
fictional Marvel uses real locations
from Gotham to Metropolis to Central
City
DC’s locations are based on real world
cities but they definitely aren’t places
that you’ll ever find on a map
while these imaginative playgrounds give
DC a lot of creative freedom we
appreciate marble using real places to
add an extra element of reality and
believability Washington DC
can you believe that it was even
considered a controversial decision back
in the day both directions have pros and
cons indeed Marvel always has to
struggle to keep their world intact and
constant with the real world but it
really comes down to relatability versus
escapism and what you personally want
from your superhero stories superheroes
in New York can be number two Marvel has
more stories and characters that deal
with real issues if fired go please I
need this job you’re fired
give me another chance speaking of
reality and believability helping a
Mercer reader into a storyline Marvel’s
approach to tackle real-world issues can
truly register in the eyes of audiences
as they too have experienced very
similar dilemmas and situations there a
problem I deserve you chucks from the
college but I ain’t puttin up with any
trouble from there Kai skin color
prejudice that’s so pathetic after the
devastating 9/11 attacks Marvel wrote a
story featuring spider-man Captain
America and other characters helping out
with the recovery and repairs necessary
after such a traumatic experience while
everyone is felt anger and loneliness
like Bruce Wayne mutant hatred in the
x-men is just one big allegory for
social prejudice and who hasn’t had a
boss like jonah Jameson give them hell
at least once in their life alright mr.
Jameson stinks
Superman has a real job too but come on
he’s never had to worry about paying the
bills hey doing Jimmy Olsen photographer
alright okay nice to meet you
number one Marvel has their movies
figured out uh hush falls over the crowd
as rookie sensation Wade W Wilson out of
Regina Saskatchewan lines up the shot
Marvel is taking the movie industry by
storm with some big screen hits like
Iron Man guardians of the galaxy and
Captain America you got a hard kid what
are you from Queens Brooklyn furthermore
they paved the way for multiple films to
have a cohesive narrative across
multiple entries starting different
characters and creating a tangible link
between them all mr. star
Kevin even before this mega success
Marvel proved itself in the film
business with blade x-men and spider-man
DC has a lot of great movies under its
belt with the original 1978 Superman and
The Dark Knight trilogy being the
standouts however recently DC’s attempts
to catch up to the Marvel Cinematic
Universe have fallen short of
expectations regardless of whether or
not you enjoyed the film’s fine Martha
