Marvel Vs. DC
Marvel Comics vs. DC Comics
Which one is better?

Comics, they are the earliest form of entertainment for kids and adults and they are still entertaining up to today. Though there are many publishers of comic books nowadays, Marvel Comics and DC Comics the most known today all over the world. Despite Marvel’s vast number of comics, DC Comics; in my opinion though, might be just as good as Marvel Comics. I think Marvel comics is the best for me, because when I was growing up, I enjoyed the Spider-Man series which is still my all-time favorite superhero up until today. “Which is better?” people might ask, to what I’ll respond in my biased opinion, Marvel Comics; however, to most people, DC Comics is the best. The answer to this conundrum might be shown in this essay so read and decide. Why do I like Marvel better than DC? Well when I was growing up I saw the cartoon of Spider-Man and I ended up liking it. Spider-Man has been my favorite superhero ever since. When I learned that there were other heroes in Marvel, I immediately took the side of Marvel. Marvel Comics has many more heroes besides Spider-Man, heroes like Iron Man, X-Men, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, and many more. On the other hand, I like DC Comics as well, another one of my favorite heroes, as I was growing up, was Batman, the only hero without powers, and the only comic I can read without getting lost in the story, so I must admit DC has a very good hero that I like to read about and has good traits as well. In the end, though, my choice goes to Marvel Comics for having Spider-Man, one of my favorite superheroes until this day.
Marvel and DC have similarities that make them the same in their category; for example, they are similar in that they both have many heroes, they were founded around the same time, in the 1930s, people all over the world read both comics, they both made movies with their most popular heroes, like: Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, and other movies from

    During the early days of my childhood, Spider-Man was my favorite superhero and role model. Whenever I watched the movies, I was dazzled by his web-slinging skills, restoring order in the Big Apple, and dual personality. If a problem occurred to me, I would think of what Spider-Man would do. I would also remember what Uncle Ben had said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” All of these factors molded me into a unique person.…

    While reading “The Psychology Behind Superhero Origin Stories,” I actually agree with both statements on how we love the superhero movies because they are so fast and strong, and how we look up to the heroes. People today love to get away while watching movies. I myself fantasize about the heroes to not think about the stress in my life. I also agree on how this article states that how superhero movies help people manage with the different types of adversity we go through life. At some point of life somebody has lost someone near and dear to them, I would say that is why Batman is everybody favorite superhero. After Bruce Wayne parents was killed in front of him, he used that anger to transform into a crime fighting hero. Batman is the closest…

    While Stan Lee was working with Marvel, DC comics’ editor Julius Schwartz wanted Lee to create a new superhero squad like the Justice League of America. Lee created a new type of superhero. Before superheroes were perfect people and had no serious or long lasting problems, but now Lee created the new type of superhero that was a complex naturalistic character who could have bad tempers, fits of melancholy, vanity; they bickered amongst themselves, worried about paying their bills and impressing girlfriends, got bored or even were sometimes physically ill. The first comic Lee created was Fantastic Four with Jack Kirby. Lee created some of the most popular super heroes such as, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, X-Men, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Spider Man.

    Avengers Archetype

    • 1041 Words
    • 5 Pages

    There are three central qualities that comprise a superhero, the most obvious being their superhuman abilities. Thor is from another planet, has an ancient mystical hammer, and is essentially a god. Iron Man boasts extraordinary intelligence and a high-tech battle suit. Black Widow and Hawkeye are master assassins that work for a top-secret organization called the Strategic Homeland Intervention and Enforcement Logistics Division. Captain America is a product of a S.H.I.E.L.D. experiment and is a master tactician with superhuman strength. Finally, the Hulk was another scientific project that resulted in an angry brute with extreme capabilities of strength and power. Also essential to the character of a superhero is their secret identity. While Iron Man’s identity is no secret and Thor is not from Earth, the other Avengers keep their identities concealed fairly well. Captain America is Steve Rogers, Hawkeye is Clint Barton, Black Widow is Natasha Romanov, and the Hulk is Bruce Banner. Each of these characters fight for a reason, and this motivation is almost as pivotal a trait as their powers. You could define a superhero as “a man or woman with powers that are either massive extensions of human strengths and capabilities, or fundamentally different in kind, which she or he uses to fight for truth, justice and the protection of the innocent.” (Kaveney 4). There comes a point in the story where their differences cause the heroes to lose some hope, but their motivation to protect the innocent keeps them together. The driving force behind a hero is imperative to their character and the…
