They are big, they are bad, they are evil, and they are only 3 years apart. Both characters have similar color schemes and similar weapons.ħ. Both characters started off as villains and then reformed. DC's Deathstroke debuted in 1980 while Marvel's Deadpool first appeared in 1991. Both of them are orphaned guys who take on baddest foes with their trusty weapon of choice.Ħ. And then in 1964, 23 years later, Marvel debuted the character of Hawkeye, their version of superhero archer. Rocking the bow and arrow long before Katniss made it cool, DC's Green Arrow made his debut way back in 1941. We have Green Lantern with his power ring and Quarsar with his Quantum Bands.ĥ. While DC's Green Lantern Corps were introduced in 1959 as an intergalactic policing force that protects the galaxy, Marvel introduced the Nova Crop in 1979. Warren Kenneth Worthington III AKA Angel appeared in 1963 as a founding member of the mutants faction named X-Men.Ĥ. Ever since his debut, many different incarnations of the characters have appeared in the comics. For example, both the characters struggle in keeping their temper intact.ģ. On the other hand, DC's 1944 character of Solomon Grundy is consistently a villain, however, the two do share similarities.

Marvel's 1962 creation of the Incredible Hulk may play the part of the hero. Creators of Quicksilver took inspiration from Flash and created the character in 1964.Ģ. Flash came first, he's the original speedster who made his debut in 1940 as Jay Garrick. Given below are 10 characters that Marvel copied from DC.ġ. However, this intense rivalry doesn't stop these comic book giants from taking inspiration from each other.

In fact, they use the designs and personalities of these characters to create their own brand new characters. Yes, they take inspiration from the characters already in existence. But sometimes these creators run out of ideas, so what do they do? Well they rip-off other comic book characters because it's easy. Many a times the characters are fictional and are purely a result of the imagination and creativity of its creators. They can create characters based on real people they know of or some famous personalities which they admire. This is not meant to be an anti-Marvel hate rant, I enjoy Marvel and their stories, I just think DC is better.When the creators of comics create a character, they are allowed to derive their inspiration for their villains and superheroes, from all kinds of sources. Vision, who has one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe embedded in his forehead, which is made out of one of the strongest metals in existence. Lots of Marvel characters seem, to me, to be too perfect.

DC's stories are darker and gritter, their characters are more down-to-earth, and none of them are incredibly overpowered. Case in point, their animated movies.Ĭomics: I think DC cimetly wins in this category. You what proof? Just look at the Fantastic Four movies or the X-Men movies.
MARVEL COPIED DC MOVIE
And Marvel doesn't even completely win in the movie category. But, I feel like overall, DC is better than Marvel. The DCEU, when compared to the MCU, doesn't look so good. When people say ' Marvel is better than DC', what they mean is 'The MCU is better than the DCEU',and I totally agree with this. First off: This sub is called unpopular opinion, and so please don't say 'ohhh, I disagree, Marvel is much better than DC' because this is my OPINION
