Marvel is good... so is DC.
Why?
Why?
I grew up with the Silver Age DC Comics, and even subscribed to Batman and Jimmy Olsen. The DC Family stories then were SF-oriented, but there was a distinct lack of interstellar war and a sense of wonder about the world and the universe.DC has Superman and Batman. DC is my choice.
Kal-El is basically God in the form of an alien being. He can do everything but resurrect the dead, despite what you saw in the Chris Reeves film version.
Superman is basically too super. Remember when he started? "Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound"? That became "he can fly" ... that became "he can fly in space so fast he changes the rotation of the planet and turns back time" ...
If he's invincible ... unstoppable ... what challenge is there for him in facing the bad guy?
Exactly . . . there is actually a pretty interesting piece on the dangers of Superman pro-creating with a non-Kryptonian. without getting too graphic, lets just say that the non-"super" side of the equation does not fare well.
