generally, I preferred the marvel universe because the backstories involving the superheroes usually involved some normal joe off the street who becomes infected, bitten, irradiated, mutated, or otherwised changed into this superpowered individual. There is usually more depth to the character, more involved storylines and less reliance on deus ex machina to close out a storyline.
DC was good in the 40s and 50s with batman and superman, but frankly, marvel has kicked butt since then.
