Comic books have entertained audiences since the 1930s with their quick, easy-to-read artwork and appealing, over-the-top characters. Behind Batman, Spiderman, Superman, the X-Men or other comic book heroes, there are behemoth enterprises that have dominated the comic book world for decades. While Marvel Comic Books and DC Comic Books have rivaled each other for years, occasionally the characters team up in epic battles within “the Amalgam Universe,” such as in Silver Surfer versus Green Lantern, Flash versus Quicksilver, or Elektra versus Catwoman. While there are many obvious similarities between the two giants, there are also some stark contrasts.
Motivation, cause and effect are all very important considerations when analyzing the difference between Marvel and DC. Marvel characters often struggle with a myriad of internal forces and mental battles. For instance, the Hulk has struggled with an explosive temper, while Spiderman has always struggled to balance his personal life with the demands of being a superhero. Wolverine also has competing nuances of animalistic urges and human civility.
Once action has been taken, these characters often ponder what has happened and sometimes second-guess themselves. These “very human-like” characters were generally ordinary but gained powers from science accidents, radiation exposure, spider bites, genetic mutation or some other event. The setting for Marvel graphic novels are in real places like New York, Los Angeles or Toronto. Some say Marvel puts a more modern spin on comic books and fulfills a more psychological need for its readers.
By contrast, the superheroes of DC comic books are nearly god-like in their perfection and function; more like mythological heroes. Their only weaknesses come from exterior factors, like Superman coming into contact with kryptonite or Batman being without his super utility belt.
They got their powers from supernatural, magical or alien means and they exist in ethereal worlds like Metropolis, Gotham City, Star City and the Dreaming. Over the years, newer adaptations of the comic books have gotten more into the psychological side of these characters, but generally speaking, the fans of DC appreciate the boldness, the confidence, the skills and the innate intelligence of these immaculate characters.
In the end, it’s hard to really say which comic book series reigns supreme. DC, the old dinosaur, has the oldest legacy of all comic books and can rightfully claim the invention of superheroes as we know them (with Superman debuting in 1938). Their characters were perfect, supreme, and almost god-like in their abilities and powers.
However, Marvel Comic Books brought a whole new spin on superheroes with their modern take; that many superheroes were just ordinary people with day jobs and complex emotions, yet wound up finding their callings as heroes (or villains) following a series of unusual events. Many comic fans will read both so the rivalry has always been friendly, but a person’s favorite character may say a lot about why he or she reads.

Captain Marvel (DC Comics) $89.81 Captain Marvel is a fictional comic book superhero, originally published by Fawcett Comics and later by DC Comics. Created in 1939 by artist C. C. Beck and writer Bill Parker, the character first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940). With a premise that taps adolescent fantasy, Captain Marvel is the alter ego of Billy Batson, a youth who works as a radio news reporter and was chosen to be a champion of good by the wizard Shazam. Whenever Billy speaks the wizard’s name, he is instantly struck by a magic lightning bolt that transforms him into an adult superhero empowered with the abilities of six legendary figures. Several friends and family members, most notably Marvel Family cohorts Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr., can share Billy’s power and become Marvels themselves. Hailed as The World’s Mightiest Mortal in his adventures, Captain Marvel was nicknamed The Big Red Cheese by arch-villain Doctor Sivana, an epithet later adopted by Captain Marvel’s fans |

Timely Comics Titles: Young Allies, Daring Mystery Comics, Marvel Myst $19.98 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Young Allies, Daring Mystery Comics, Marvel Mystery Comics, All Select Comics, U.s.a. Comics, Mystic Comics, Captain America Comics. Excerpt: The Young Allies is the name of three superhero teams in the Marvel Universe. The Golden Age of Comic Books’ Young Allies were a gang of kids who fought the axis. Their line-up included the two key sidekicks of then-prominent Timely Comics heroes. Created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon as the Sentinels of Liberty, a multiracial group of patriotic kids, the group was led by Bucky Barnes (Captain America’s teenage sidekick), and initially made up of his four friends: Knuckles (aka Percival Aloysius O’Toole), Jeff (Jefferson Worthing Sandervilt), Tubby (Henry Tinkle) and Whitewash Jones (who, being merely the requisite black stereotype, didn’t have a fancy name like the others).The group appeared in a text feature in Captain America #4 (June, 1941), but were swiftly moved into the comic-proper, to help Cap in his battles, and became popular enough to be spun into its own title. Young Allies Comics #1 (Summer 1941). Art by Jack KirbyLaunched in Summer, 1941 after only a couple of appearances in the pages of Captain America, the Sentinels of Liberty were revised, renamed The Young Allies and joined by the original Human Torch’s sidekick Toro. By this time, Simon and Kirby were in the process of leaving Timely for DC Comics, and relationships were strained, so while the first issue of the Young Allies series was pencilled by Kirby (under the – shared – Charles Nicholas pseudonym), it was written by a young Stan Lee. By issue #2, Kirby had left, and the art duties were taken over by Al Gabriele and former Captain America inker (and then penciler, in the wake of Simon and Kirby’s departure) Syd Shores….
