who has more interesting characters marvel or dc?

This question is completely subjective. The answer just depends on your personal taste.

So, yeah... DC's are better. ;)

Eh, they both have lots of good and bad characters.  

Marvel have more real and dynamic characters than DC, but that is just my opinion

If I take a look at the number of characters I actively read from both companies, it would appear as if I prefer DC characters. The truth is, though, that I couldn't care less which company I buy comic books from; it all boils down to the character and the book. Just because I buy more DC books than Marvel doesn't mean I like Captain America (one of my favorite Marvel characters) any less than the DC characters I read.

Marvel for me.

I like Marvel's characters better, they are more human, and less fantasy.

Guys like Thor make that hard.

Actually, even Thor is a good example. Compare Superman to Thor, I would never try to follow the moral code that Superman has, it just seems boring and a waste of time. Thor on the other hand goes to parties, drinks a lot, has lots of sex, and then arrogantly goes to battle when people need to be saved, which is exactly what I (and I assume most other people) would do.

Thor does that? :O

Maybe I exaggerated with Thor a little bit, haha, Hercules would have been a better example. But my behavior would be closer to Thor's than Superman's, if I had god-like powers. And if you compare the popular Marvel characters to DC's, then you'll see a similar pattern.

Hercules still fantasy.

I'm a Marvel guy, but to each his own.

And to be clear, I'm only talking about character behavior. Of course superpowers are ridiculous, no matter how you obtained them. But DC characters live up to these ideals that no normal person would try to do. Marvel shows how normal people would respond to getting superpowers; which to me is more interesting.

Well... the people in DC go through problems too.

DC for me ,marvel has just been dropping the ball an plus dc is more interesting to get in than marvel

Going through problems has nothing to do with behaving like a normal person. What would you do if you were a genius, your parents died, and you inherited a billion dollar empire? Would you behave more like Batman or Iron Man?

DC

I wouldn't blow my money off like Iron Man did, I probably would feel lonely, and more focused on getting revenge.

DC has some characters that remind me of marvel's style. For example Superboy is a character that reminds me a lot of marvel.

Where as marvel has soem characters like Captain America who remind me of DC.

Personally though i am going to have to give it to marvel on interesting character.

Depends how you prioritize what's interesting. Reading though this thread you see people apply the term differently, some can't even understand the context of how others apply the word. For me personally, this is like asking which is the most interesting color. Well depends. A few of them are pretty interesting, and both Marvel and DC have like... 5000 plus characters. Sure if a person went though a bunch of them, they'd probably end up with a similar number.

Good point but by characters I think characters you would normally see. For example all the characters in Marvel: Civil War are basically the bulk of good characters in Marvel.

DC

That too is a great point, and speaks about a fans discretion. Like I love a lot of the obscure Marvel and DC characters in books like Exiles, and so on. Many of my favorite DC characters are Vertigo characters who relied in short but great stories, rather than decades of great stories. *smile*

Yeah, Marvel is more straight forward, Most of their characters and teams have been made by Stan Lee, & his vision, unlike DC where there's just a bunch of different writers who write their own stories then come together.

Batman and his circle are probably the only most interesting line of characters in DC. Batman should belong in Marvel.

Batman is not needed in Marvel, They have Punisher

Marvel because the characters are much more different from each other.

DC has a superfamily including a dog, a Bat family, an amazon family, too many hawkpeople, too many green lantern, different flash individual, characters seem to have more black hair and cape, etc.

i agree. i get the passing down the mantle thing but come on everybody is doing it. i think dc is just lazy coming up with new codenames. here's flash 1,2, 3 and 4.
