Marvel is the king of superheroes right now. While part of that is because of the massive success of the MCU, the only reason they’ve gotten as far as they have is because of their comics. Marvel didn’t invent the superhero. Instead, they jumped on the bandwagon after the success of Superman, like every other superhero publisher of the Golden Age. In fact, Marvel drew inspiration from DC’s notes for years, but was able to pull ahead in sales for one reason: their relatable superheroes.Marvel became the premiere superhero publisher in the 1960s and has rarely, if ever, been replaced at the top. While Marvel has its shortcomings, they’ve distinguished themselves from the competition and thrilled readers by doing things DC Comics doesn’t. From maintaining the same continuity from the beginning to crafting relatable and inspiring characters, these differences played a significant factor in Marvel’s dominance.DC revolutionized the use of the multiverse in comics, and Marvel did the same with the alternate timeline. Comics like Days of Future Past, The Age of Apocalypse, Powers of X, and many more (including some that aren’t related to the X-Men) all showcase various alternate timelines fans love to visit. This use of alternate timelines revolutionized comics, and it’s something that DC has never replicated.
