DC strong guys are stronger than Marvel?

nope! How absurd!

On Earth? Usually, yeah.

For the most part, yes.

DC Main Characters tend to be stronger than Marvel Main Characters.

Marvel has it's fair share of Sentry/Hyperion/Silver Surfer level insanely powerful characters that could go toe to toe with Superman.

Wolverine, Spiderman, and Iron Man are not those guys though.

For some reason, DC Comics seem to love headlining characters that have high power levels (Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman) which is a bit odd because their consistantly top selling titles according to Diamond Distributing are usually Batman related.

Marvel on the other hand tends to bring it down so it's big titles showcase a lower power level. The big whompum super powerful guys in Marvel trend toward the Villain side, to give reason for several of those mid-level powered heroes to team up against the one superior foe.

Neither way is really right or wrong, but they both play to a slightly differant audience. If you're a fan of huge powerful cosmic-y stuff, you're probably happier in DC and only enjoy a few of the fringe Marvel titles like Nova. If you're a fan of the more street level heroes in the low power setting, you can dig a lot of the Marvel main titles, but come DC side you probably will rarely venture beyond Batman.

I think it's generally true, but not as lop-sided as some think. Thor can go head-to-head with Superman. (Who would actually win is a matter of much debate.) Most seem to believe the Surfer could beat any GL. (probably true.) I think the one main advantage most DC "Powerhouses" have over Marvels is speed. Save maybe Thor and SS types. Superman, WW, GL and of course, Flash are all much faster, and couldn't be touched, much less damaged by many Marvel characters.

Gold. Pure gold.

I concur

DC men are stronger.

Nope.

Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying this thread. Also, it seems to me that while DC headlines stronger "powerhouses", the celestial/god tier in Marvel are in fact much more powerful than DC equivalents.
