NOTE: I'm not asking who would win in a fight, just which one you prefer.
They don't necessarily have to be the same character, but should fill the same sort of archetype

For example, The Green Lantern Corps vs The Nova Corps. (space cops)
Batman vs Iron Man. (super heroes whose main power is a lot of money gained from weapon contracts)
Superman vs Captain America. (All American heroes)
The Monitors vs The Watchers (we ain't gonna do shit)

Spoiler

Gwenpool vs Harley Quinn

Rorschach and The Question

 

[lazygecko]

Darkseid has better taste in furniture than Thanos.

 

[kewlmyc]

I like Deadpool more than Deathstroke. Then again, the only time I liked Deathstroke was when he was Slade in the first two season of Teen Titans.

 

[A-V-B]

Thor and Wonder Woman would probably be pretty damn fun -- obviously not even in a fight. Just like... together, as a team.

 

[Malyse]

Rorschach and The Question

That's DC and DC.

I like Deadpool more than Deathstroke. Then again, the only time I liked Deathstroke was when he was Slade in the first two season of Teen Titans.

The current run of Deathstroke is amazing.

 

[Inferno313]

Slade Wilson and Wade Wilson, amusing how a parody character outgrew the parodied so massively.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

I prefer Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) to teenage Spider-Man.
Richard Rider is better than Hal Jordan but I prefer the GL Corps to the Nova Corps.

Batman > Iron Man, even though I don't find them that similar
Superman > Cap
Flash > Quicksilver
Punisher > Vigilante
X-Men > the classic Doom Patrol

And Darkseid = Thanos.
No preference there, I like them both equally.

 

[AAK]

I like Dr. Strange slightly over Constantine.

 

[LordOfLore]

Darkseid has better taste in furniture than Thanos.

Slade Wilson and Wade Wilson, amusing how a parody character outgrew the parodied so massively.

What's really insane is that the parody now has a parody.

Meet Wayne Wilkins AKA Red Tool.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

I love both Swamp Thing and Man-Thing.
They must smell funny.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Swamp Thing has developed into a far more interesting character (and world) than Man-Thing.

Slade Wilson and Wade Wilson, amusing how a parody character outgrew the parodied so massively.

Deadpool wasn't even a parody originally, he was a straight ripoff that Rob Liefeld made because DC wouldn't let him work on Teen Titans.

It's more accurate to say that the Deadpool we know is a parody of the original Liefeld Deadpool.

 

[LordRaptor]

Ambush Bug is a much better character than Deadpool

e:
Also I think I like the Doom Patrol more than the Fantastic Four / X Men (whichever you think they're closer analogues to)

 

[DrArchon]

I like Dr. Strange slightly over Constantine.

Wouldn't Dr. Strange's counterpart be Dr. Fate?

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I like Dr. Strange slightly over Constantine.

You should compare Dr. Strange to Dr. Fate.

 

[Malyse]

I can see Strange Constantine or Strange Fate. The Sanctum Sanctorum and the House of Mystery are pretty analog

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Personality-wise I think Constantine has an analogous on Peter Wisdom.

 

[Slayven]

I like Gladiator and Xenith more than Superman and Supergirl.

Personality-wise I think Constantine has an analogous on Peter Wisdom.

Yep, Wisdom is just Constantine on caffeine

 

[SpaceWolf]

Catwoman is my second favourite comic book character of all time, but I still enjoy Black Cat...even though they're both pretty much exactly the same character.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Captain Marvel > Captain Marvel

 

[The Kree]

Comparing the Nova Corps to the Green Lanterns is insulting to the Lanterns.

 

[LordRaptor]

Clasic cigar chomping howling commando Nick Fury is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Sarge "I have a metal hand, BFD" Steel

 

[Malyse]

Donna Troy and Jean Grey: names that sound like they should be longer and don't know how to stay dead.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Comparing the Nova Corps to the Green Lanterns is insulting to the Lanterns.

The Guardians of the Universe are insulting to the Lanterns.

 

[MC Safety]

I loved the Squadron Supreme. It was a team of JLA analogues.

 

[Lulubop]

.

Thanos has a helicopter tho.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

And sorry, Imperiex is just a poor man's Galactus.

 

[Slayven]

Donna Troy and Jean Grey: names that sound like they should be longer and don't know how to stay dead.

How are they versions of each other?

 

[Rvaan]

Captain Marvel > Captain Marvel

Bold move to take Carol over Mar'vel, Monica, and Billy.

 

[Slayven]

And sorry, Imperiex is just a poor man's Galactus.

Imperiex is the poorman's everything.

Red Rocket compared to Ironman is just hilarious

 

[Fandangox]

Captain Marvel > Captain Marvel

Fuck

 

[Slayven]

I am about to blow 3 minds on GAF

CM3>> Kamela Ms.Marvel

 

[Ponn]

Phyla-Vell Quasar was too short lived and so much more bad ass.

 

[Sephzilla]

I've grown to like Captain America more than Superman. But that's mostly because the modern day version of Cap most people recognize is the Chris Evans MCU version of the character while Superman hasn't had even remotely as great of a mainstream portrayal. Cap's had it way better off in recent years.

Chris Evans Captain America vs Christopher Reeve Superman is a pretty solid push though.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

How are they versions of each other?

Their poor taste in men, maybe?

I can see it.

Spoiler

Not sure if I should have posted a pic of Cyclops or Wolvie, tbh.

 

[JZA]

The Midnighter vs. Daredevil. Not sure if it would be exactly fair, but I wouldn't underestimate Matt.

 

[LordRaptor]

The Midnighter vs. Daredevil. Not sure if it would be exactly fair, but I wouldn't underestimate Matt.

the Midnighters counterpart is probably Karnak

Spoiler

even though his actual counterpart is Batman prior to DC merging him into the fold

 

[Slayven]

The Midnighter vs. Daredevil. Not sure if it would be exactly fair, but I wouldn't underestimate Matt.

Karnak's is the Karate Kid

 

[BKatastrophe]

Batman is so not Tony Stark's DC equivalent. Lex Luthor is closer

Billionaire weapons developer
One of the most intelligent in their respective universe
Frequent user of power suits
Has become a national leader (Lex was POTUS and Stark was Director of SHIELD)
Childhood tragedy
Smug motherfucker
Constantly spouts that they are doing things for the betterment of mankind

On that note, I enjoy Lex far more as a character than I ever will enjoy Tony.

How are they counterparts?

How are they counterparts?

People on a comic board use to get mad at me because I said Tony was smarter then lex.

My reasoning? Tony builds armors with helmets

 

[Screaming Meat]

Darkseid is

Better than Thanos.

I like Dr. Strange slightly over Constantine.

Are they each other's opposite number? In that case, I prefer JC waaaay more

Spoiler

because he is literally my favourite character. At least HellBlazer John is

Lex is just too vain and too greedy. At least Tony knew to dial it back a little bit.

[IMG]https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/6/63935/1631502-ol_lex_luthor.jpg[/IMG]

Lex didn't simply do a basic outfit change like every other Lantern, his first construct was a suit of body armor.

I can hear Clancy Brown's voice going: "It's so secure, you don't need.. helmets"

 

[LordRaptor]

Karnak's is the Karate Kid

Karate Kids is Shang Chi

 

[BKatastrophe]

I'd pick Jamie Madrox over Multiplex.

 

[Slayven]

Karate Kids is Shang Chi

wrong

I'd pick Jamie Madrox over Multiplex.

What abotu Silent Majority?

 

[Malyse]

Karate Kids is Shang Chi

wrong

Plus IIRC Karate Kid is all about weak points.

 

[Version 3.0]

I actually like Quasar more than Green Lantern.

Thanos sucks. Darkseid is okay.

 

[BKatastrophe]

I like Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) more than Hawkeye (Clint Barton)

I like Black Canary more than Banshee
