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

I like Black Canary more than Banshee

I would say Black Canary is closer to Mockingbird.

Jimmy Olsen and Peter Parker are kinda similar if you forget that one of them is Spider-Man...and a billionaire.

So not similar then.

 

[LordRaptor]

Thinking about it there's a lame Wolverine villain who has limited telepathy to read every move before an opponent makes who would be a Midnighter counterpart, but I'm drawing a blank on his name, because his name is super generic like "Mr Big" or "Number One" or something

Mr.X

Mr.X

lmao, yeah, that guy
🎵 Mister F🎵

Sonic-powered super agent, is what I was thinking.

Jimmy Olsen and Rick Jones, is what I would say.

 

[Slayven]

Remember DC's Wolverine

I always liked Steel more than Ironman, that includes liking Natasha more than Riri.

Also like Bronze Tiger more than Black Panther

 

[BKatastrophe]

Remember DC's Wolverine

Why would anyone?

 

[Rooster12]

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

I say he's more like Sgt. Rock than Sarge Steel

 

[Slayven]

Other then being black and having cat names they don't have much in common. Black Panther has more in common with Geo-Force. Including ruling a country and having a pain in the ass sister

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Who is Marvel's Aquaman?

 

[Ogodei]

Iron Man's equivalent is Steel. Batman's is either Captain America or Daredevil (Captain America if you're looking at Batman in a Justice League context, Daredevil if you're looking at Batman in a city-protecting-vigilante context)

 

[Slayven]

Who is Marvel's Aquaman?

Good pun on the name

Arthur Curry/ Kingsley Rice

 

[Cymbal Head]

Hyperion > Superman

Spoiler

...lol

 

[LordRaptor]

I say he's more like Sgt. Rock than Sarge Steel

Sgt Rock for the wartime fighting, Sarge Steel for quasi-governmental oversight of superhuman threats for steranko era Fury

Batman's is either Captain America or Daredevil (Captain America if you're looking at Batman in a Justice League context, Daredevil if you're looking at Batman in a city-protecting-vigilante context)

Or Moon Knight for rich kid with fancy gadgets and an obvious personality disorder
Steven Grant = Bruce Wayne
Jake Lockley = Matches Malone

 

[BKatastrophe]

Namor. Don't listen to Slayven.

Feats mostly was what I was thinking. Both are known has one of the best hand to hand combatants in their respective universe. With Bronze Tiger taken out top tire assassins including Deathstroke and taken out heroes like Batman and Black Panther taking out Cap and Deadpool, just as examples. Plus come one, we both know Brozen Tiger is a bit of a copy of Black Panther.

 

[Ogodei]

I was a big fan of DC vs Marvel crossover event when i was little, so i take their comparisons as gospel (even if there might be better matchups in there)

Superman vs Hulk (probably the least applicable, just about pairing off the heaviest of heavy-hitters, since Sentry is a better match for Superman)
Captain Marvel vs Thor
Flash vs Quicksilver
Aquaman vs Namor
Robin vs Jubilee
Superboy (Kon El) vs Spiderman
Wonder Woman vs Storm (mehh, Sersi's right there on the Marvel side, or Ms. Marvel, but the crossover predated her rise to real prominence as Marvel's attempted premier superheroine)
Batman vs Captain America
Lobo vs Wolverine
Green Lantern vs Silver Surfer
Catwoman vs Elektra

Other pairs i've considered over the years:

Martian Manhunter v. Vision
Stargirl vs Miss Marvel (either Carol or Kamala depending on the era)
Dr. Light II (Kimiyo) vs Captain Marvel II (Monica)
Shining Knight vs Black Knight (duh)
Silver Sorceress vs Scarlet Witch (Silver Sorceress was deliberately made as a Wanda knockoff on DC's part)
Red Tornado vs Human Torch I
Human Torch II vs Firestorm.

For a *lot* of the major characters you can find someone on the other side who's a fair equivalent, often because of blatant copycatting.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Iron Man's equivalent is Steel. Batman's is either Captain America or Daredevil (Captain America if you're looking at Batman in a Justice League context, Daredevil if you're looking at Batman in a city-protecting-vigilante context)

Iron Man and Steel, I can see. Batman? No. None of that works.

[Duane Cunningham]

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

Meet Wayne Wilkins AKA Red Tool.

Hey, kinda like

(parody/ripoff of Lobo which is already a parody/ripoff of Wolverine.)

 

[Slayven]

Eel O'Brian >>>> Reed Richards

You mean The Thin Man

 

[Malyse]

Actually, Wonder Woman and Jane Thor would be an amazing comic. I wish DC and Marvel would do the thing that DC is doing with JLA and Looney Tunes.

 

[CaviarMeths]

I thought Batman's counterpart was Moon Knight.

 

[LordRaptor]

Human Torch II vs Firestorm.

I mean... I'm just gonna repost this, Firestorm is way more than "can fly and shoot fire"

 

[Patryn]

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)

Fantastic Four was a take on DC's Challengers of the Unknown.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Does Marvel have a Joker?

 

[LordRaptor]

Fantastic Four was a take on DC's Challengers of the Unknown.

Yeah, I know, but were a bit more successful with the formula by adding super powers, and arguably the "team of freaks" thing is better associated with the X Men than the FF

 

[Sephzilla]

Does Marvel have a Joker?

Green Goblin?

 

[Rvaan]

Actually, Wonder Woman and Jane Thor would be an amazing comic. I wish DC and Marvel would do the thing that DC is doing with JLA and Looney Tunes.

I'd ve be down for that. The WW/Taz comic was pretty alright. The Batman/Fudd one looks dope too.

 

[Shoeless]

I know they're not quite in the same exact league, but I've always preferred what Kirby did with DC's New Gods, versus what he did for Marvel's Eternals. Things just got way more cosmic and the mythology appealed to me more with the New Gods as replacements for the Old Gods, versus the whole thing with Celestials in the Marvel universe and how the Eternals related to them.

 

[Patryn]

Does Marvel have a Joker?

Which reminds me that DC doesn't really have a Doctor Doom.

 

[Slayven]

Which reminds me that DC doesn't really have a Doctor Doom.

They have a Lord Havok

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Which reminds me that DC doesn't really have a Doctor Doom.

Black Adam is the closest for them.

 

[Garlador]

All hail the Amalgam Universe.

 

[jombag]

Plastic Man over Mr. Fantastic for me

 

[Sephzilla]

All hail the Amalgam Universe.

Spider-Man and Superboy fusing into one character never made sense to me

 

[Rvaan]

All hail the Amalgam Universe.

I'm sorry but is that web string coming from where I think it is?

Edit: Lol at Rogue not getting a change.

 

[Garlador]

Spider-Man and Superboy fusing into one character never made sense to me

At the time, both were clones.

 

[Sephzilla]

At the time, both were clones.

Goddamn, I've blanked so much of the 90s comics from my mind

 

[Patryn]

At the time, both were clones.

Not Spider-man at the time. They hadn't reversed the Ben Reilly decision yet.

Regardless, I loved Spider-boy. Possibly my favorite Amalgam comics.

 

[Garlador]

Goddamn, I've blanked so much of the 90s comics from my mind

Thor's 90s outfit was just....

Too much midriff? Or not evough?

 

[HStallion]

Not Marvel or DC but All Might from My Hero Academia is a better Superman than Superman at this point.

 

[Rooster12]

Does Marvel have a Joker?

Black Panther villain Achebe

 

[Malyse]

Not Marvel or DC but All Might from My Hero Academia is a better Superman than Superman at this point.

All Might is closer to Gotham.

except sane

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Namor. Don't listen to Slayven.

Aquaman wishes he was half as cool as Namor.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Huntress (Helena Bertenelli) > Elektra

That's better

Saturn Girl > Jean Grey

I don't know much about Saturn Girl, but how is she similar to Jean Grey?

Ant-Man>The Atom

Which Ant-Man vs. which Atom?

Aquaman wishes he was half as cool as Namor.

Truth
