Fixed them for you :)

ok

Strength: DC, Kryptonians, White Martians, Martians and similarly strong characters crowd the DC Universe.

Speed: DC, Marvel's speedsters are a joke compared to DC's. But mostly because a lot of DC characters are vastly OP. Like why a character like the MMH needs to have super speed too when he already has a butt-load of other powers?

Intelligence: Tough one, but I'll say Marvel because not only the genius level characters from Marvel are great at strategy and prep, but their technology is vastly more impressive than DC's.

Senses: Marvel, a lot of mutants have vast senses augmentations. It is not THAT common in DC.

Invulnerability: Even maybe. In favor of DC there is the bunch of Kryptonians, White Martians, Martians and similarly powered characters that crowd the DC universe, however Marvel has lots of characters that have invulnerability and some of them, pretty vetsatile.

Healing Factor: Marvel, not that common within the DC universe again. Loads and loads of characters have ridiculous healing factors in Marvel.

Versatility: Toughest one maybe. I love the versatile characters from DC like The Lanterns, Dr Fate, Martians, but I must admit that even street levelers from Marvel can be really versatile. Even maybe with a slight edge to Marvel.

Technopathy: Tough one too. Maybe Marvel because of how important technology is in the Marvel universe and how many technopaths are in it too, even low level technopaths.

Telepathy: Marvel hands down, there is so many telepaths in Marvel and powerful telepaths for that matter.

Telekinesis: Same as above.

Teleportation: Marvel, lots of teleporters too.

Force Fields: Marvel, in DC the force fields are just part of a power set.

Shape Shifting: Marvel, lots of shapeshifters.

Matter Manipulation: Tough one, does this include imprints like Vertigo for DC. If so, DC there is crazy characters at Vertigo.

Energy Manipulation: DC, even characters that are not supposed to be able to can in DC.

Time Manipulation: DC, even Superman has traveled in time by sheer velocity.

Magic: DC if Vertigo is allowed.

Reality Warping: DC if Vertigo is allowed.

Fighting Skills: Tough one, maybe DC?

Who has better?

Street Levellers: I like DCs Streer levellers better.

Superhuman Levellers: Marvel, they're cooler at Marvel.

Herald Levellers: DC, more versatile and more numbers.

Trans Levellers: Marvel, not many that I can recall from the DC side.

Skyfather Levellers: DC, the Skyfathers from DC are just cooler IMO.

Abstract Levellers: DC if Vertigo is allowed. The Endless and the angel brothers are the shizz.

These are my personal opinions.

@marvel_is_best: huh? SS faster than the Flash? Wolverine has the BEST senses ever? Deadpool has the absolute best healing factor? Really???

...

...

Yea forget this, I'm done here *walks away*

@citizensentry: @deathsdoor726: @marvel_is_best: guys guys I don't want single characters as examples. I want consistency e.g. using thanos as 1 example isn't enough. need at least 3

Invulnerability :Thanos, Ultron, Butterball.

Force Fields: Thanos, Galactus, Silver Surfer

Intelligence: Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner.

Speed: Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Thor.

Reality Warping: Franklin Richards, Mad Jim Jaspers, Proteus.

Telepathy: Charles Xavier, Jean Grey, Franklin Richards.

Magic: Dr. Strange, Sise-Neg, Dormammu.

Matter Manipulation: Molecule Man, Sentry, Meggan

Time Manipulation: Kang the conqueror, Scarlet Witch, Velocidad.

Energy Manipulation: Vulcan (Summers brother), Rachel Summers, Sebastian Shaw.

Shapeshifting: Mystique, Morph, Mercury.

Fighting Skills: Shang-Chi, Iron Fist, Elektra.

Abstract levellers: Death, Oblivion, Infinity.

Herald levellers: Silver Surfer, Morg, Nova.

Superhuman Levellers: Marvel.

Healing Factor: Deadpool, Hulk, Skaar.

@helicoprion: this isn't going to work out

some of the answers are just about best examples or quantity

if we're talking about consistency and quantity then its a different matter but that isn't the case with what most people are putting

@masterkungfu: maybe. I'm not well versed in dc so I don't know

@helicoprion: oh well...

Nobody in DC can keep up with my post.

Fanboy logic

lmao

Name 3 people who can:

Damage: Thanos/Ultron or Butterball.

Breach Thanos/Galactus or Silver Surfers Force Fields.

Keep up with Gladiator/ Silver Surfer Thor (Gladiator has the highest recorded speed at 100x FTL on panel)

Warp reality to a greater degree than Franklin Richards/ Mad Jim Jaspers or Proteus.

Let me just stop you right there.

Butterball is impervious to all types of physical damage. (that was a bait to see who would bite.)

@citizensentry: that's why zatanna's there...no physical, just magic

This whole thread is this:

And how are you going to damage Ultron & Thanos?

Ultron is made of Adamantium & Vibranium.

Thanos......Is just a beast.

Disco tjo disco hey

He also regenerated all of it back in about 5 seconds.

time trapper anti monitor nekron thought robot monarch captain atom guardians of the universe superman one million mr mzypklix or however you spell his name chew force batman(jk) Darkseid Mongul superboy prime supergirl power girl superman superman of earth 2 superboy prime doctor fate the spectre major force martian manhunter any of the white martians green martians daxamites or kryptonians most new gods wonder woman yuga khan sinestro corps green lanterns red lanterns blue lanterns batman mr terrific lex luther Barry Bart and Wally theres more but I am tired so I'll put them in order later

@citizensentry: we're discussing durability here, not healing factor

What reduced Thanos to a skeleton, I forgot?

EDIT: spelling mistake.

@helicoprion:

Strength-Marvel. Thor. Hulk. Gladiator. Hyperion. Ms. Marvel. These guys are all incredibly strong and I'd be willing to argue against anyone.

Speed-DC, the Speedforce triumps over any and all speed.

Intelligence-Marvel. Bruce Banner. Reed Richards. Tony Stark. Hank Pym. Hank McCoy, Xavier, Peter Parker, T'Challa, Victor Von Doom, Norman Osborne, Apocalypse, Otto Octavius.

Senses-Marvel. Spider-Man, Daredevil, Captain America, Wolverine, etc....

Invulnerability-Gonna go with Marvel here too, DC characters seem to always have that one weakness that rips them apart. Thor. Hulk. Colossus. Wolverine.

Healing Factor-Marvel. Wolverine. Hulk. Deadpool. The Symbiotes. Captain America.

Versatility-Gonna go with DC on this one, Marvel's powersets tend to be limited, one thing with lots of more minor powers. Superman. Batman. Green Lantern. Martian Manhunter.

Technopathy-Marvel. Vision. Iron Man. Ultron. The Phalanx.

Telepathy-Marvel. Charles Xavier. Stephen Strange. Loki. Nathan Summers. Hope Summers. Elizabeth Braddock. Jean Grey. Sentry. Emma Frost. Danny Rand. Rachel Summers. Nathaniel Grey.

Telekinesis-Marvel again. Stephen Strange. Jean Grey. Gabriel Summers. Nathan Summers. Sam Alexander. Nathan Grey. Sentry. Cosmo-come on, it's a Russian Space dog, had to mention them-Scarlet Witch.

Teleportation-Marvel. Deadpool. Nightcrawler. Thor. Loki. Thanos. Doctor Strange. Doom. Adam Warlock. Ronan. Silver Surfer. Cloak.

Force Fields-Marvel. Silver Surfer. Thanos. Invisible Woman. Thor. Jean Grey. Magneto. Quasar. Juggernaut. Vulcan. Mandarin. Baron Mordo. Scarlet Witch. Graviton. Starbrand.

Shape Shifting-DC. Beast Boy, Martian Manhunter. Metamorpho. Plastic Man. Though Mystique is a good honorable mention since I can't think of any more for DC.

Matter Manipulation-Marvel. Sentry. Captain Marvel. Thor. Thanos. Scarlet Witch. Magneto. Ronan. Black Bolt.Silver Surfer. Doctor Strange. Absorbing Man. Mandarin. I mean, Marvel has a guy named Molecule Man.

Energy Manipulation-Gotta give it a tie. DC has the Lantern Corps, but not much else, even though there's a lot, but Marvel has Starbrand, the Nova Corps, Quasar, Thanos. Pretty much every Herald.

Time Manipulation-Marvel. X-Men abuses this horribly.

Magic-Marvel. Doctor Strange. Iron Fist. White Tiger. Loki. Thor. Doctor Doom. Doctor Druid. Brother Voodoo. Scarlet Witch. Moon Knight. Enchantress. Dormmamu. Baron Mordo. The Ancient One. Ghost Rider. Blade-if vampires count as magic. Hercules. Fin Fang Foom. Morgan LeFay. Beta Ray Bill.

Reality Warping-Marvel. Galactus. Phoenix Force. Beyonder. Molecule Man. Scarlet Witch. Sentry. Franklin Richards. Onslaught. Legion. Loki. Odin. In-Betweener. Thanos. Proteus. Captain Universe. Cosmic Skull.

Fighting Skills-Marvel. Marvel has Captain America, Iron Fist, Spider-Man, Shang-Chi, Temugin. Black Widow. Black Panther. Daredevil. Deadpool. Mantis. Gamora. Moon Knight. Thor. Karnak. Wolverine. Elektra. Mandarin. Batroc. X-23. Winter Soldier. Gambit. Hawkeye. Taskmaster. Mockingbird.

Who has better?

For this part, you take a pretty massive leap, I'm not sure which one is indicative to what when it comes to Superhuman or Street.

Street Levelers. Refer to fighting skills.

Superhuman Levelers. Marvel. Hulk. Ms. Marvel.

Herald Levellers-Heralds of Galactus trumps most DC characters on their level

Trans Levellers-Can only really think of Thanos, Marvel.

Skyfather Levellers. Marvel. Odin. Thor(Who fights skyfather level beings and wins constantly) Sentry. Black Bolt.

Abstract Levellers. Marvel, far more abstract-levelers. Beyonder. Living Tribunal. Galactus. Eternity. Infinity. Death.

Equal in all

Not a battle
