Marvel vs DC


Over the past few weeks, I have become totally obsessed with superheroes. Movies, Series, you name it. I must say, I have always been a fan of Smallville. Followed it up until season 6. Got tired of waiting for Clark Kent to fly. LOL But then, one random day, I got a preview of what season 9 would look like. Thats when I immediately starting watching again and it also kind of saddened me when I heard season 10 is going to be the last. No more hunky Tom Welling buahahaha.

Also, I suddenly felt the urge to see animated movies. For about 2 years I had some on my drive but never even thought of watching it. I then took one day to have a marathon LOL. I watched greats such as The Green Lantern - First Flight (Ryan Reynolds, to star in the remake), Ultimate Avengers 1&2, Batman Under the Red Hood, Justice League - Two Earths.. etc


This got me thinking, in an all-out brawl to the death, to the very last man, who would win: the DC Universe or the Marvel Universe?
 
In one corner, we have the DC Universe, populated with hosts of nigh-invincible super-beings like Superman, Wonderwoman, Doomsday, Batman, Vision and the Green Lantern. These folks have collectively battled through numerous galactic Crises'. Some immortal and indestructible. In the other corner, the Marvel Universe is full of heroes legendary in their own right, but also flawed and mortal. Marvel characters, by design, are a bit more down to earth. Aside from the Hulk, you’d be hard-pressed to find many ultra-powered beings in the Marvel Universe. You do have super-powerful beings like Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Professor X, Thor, and Galactus easily capable of delivering a hefty blow to Superman and his homies.

But IMO: When all other heroes fail, there is always one being that stands above them all: Superman. Only two weaknesses could be a chink in the Man of Steel’s armor: kryptonite and his innate goodness. [and yes I'm being biased haha]

So who do you think would win? Would you not pay money to see Tony Stark duke it out with Bruce Wayne? Or the Hulk hold a slugfest with Superman?
