Marvel isn't bad, But DC just has (sigh..had) more women to choose from.
Marvel seems to have a really weird policy when it comes to relationships. Like being in a relationship makes you come off as weak. And im not talking about Spider-man. The Thing was in a perfectly happy relationship, but left his girl standing at the alter. Wolverine was in a really good relationship with this cop who loved and accepted every aspect of his life, but they broke up for some reason. Storm and Black Panther split. Unless your name is Mr Fantastic, you can't be in a long lasting relationship.
Now being in a relationship doesn't mean that your the better portrayed character. But having such a negative outlook on relationships only hurts your character. for the most part DC does right by their women, both hero and villain. (before the reboot). You had women of various body types, like Amanda Waller, and Granny Goodness. disabled heroes,like Oracle. Raven Starfire, Black Canary, Poison Ivy. Harley Quinn. So much variety, and each one of them managed to stand on their own.
