I believe that marvel is undergoing what i call the superman complex.that is making characters god like in nature to compete with the power levels of superman and it directly affects how we as fans view their said worlds in comparison to one another.For example,it was shown in the marvel dc crossover that the hulk was less popular than supes.I believe over the years that has been the general view point but recently marvel has increased the strength of the hulk,Thor and many others to try and counter this view point.The hulk is now world breaker hulk and can break whole planets with his rage.Thor killed the god of fear{odins brother}in fear itself and he was a greater god.Sentry before dieing at the hands of Thor crushed all of Asgard.
why this all makes for interesting stories now the problem will be keeping them at that power level while continuing to write a good storyline for said characters.In my opinion supes is a case where dc has made the character to strong in the past{the silver age}and now has toned down some of his powers to make better stories.Marvel has went the other direction in trying to make them gods and we still argue that superman just can't be beat.I understand the avengers-justice league crossover and how that turned out.i also understand that marvel and dc have completely different power levels but when your writing about a marvel- dc fight and you here it would take all the avengers to take supes out it just pisses me off.there was a comic were daredevil knocked out mephisto but that doesn't mean i believe if they were to fight that would ever happen.Even with marvel increasing the power levels of some of their characters everyone is like superman cant be stopped.isn't that highly debatable or are we just going to say daredevil can beat mephisto.all im saying is if i9ty doesn't make sense then say it.isn't that what forums are all about?people giving their opinion.let me know what you think
