I did not say that I dislike DC; I am a mythology fan, especially Greek and Roman. However, growing up I never could relate to the Gods or aspire to be one. I can relate to Marvel because during each phase of my life, it was somehow there. When I got married (I'm divorced now), Cyclops, my favorite character then, got married. When the police in Baltimore were practicing "Zero Tolerance" on crime and I was "criminal minded", the X-Men fought OZT. There are too many examples in my life to give.

However, I started with DC. My dad bought my first comic and it was Superman fighting a guy who thought he was Alexander the Great reincarnated. I loved comics ever since. But the heroes of DC are too strong. I can't aspire to be Superman. But if I am smart enough, I can be a scientist in the Marvel Universe. If I get rich enough, I can make a suit and fight crime (will get killed, but...). I am an African-American; Xavier was like MLK (my son is half-white).

You get my drift.

I am not saying better or worse; I am saying God vs. Human...
