DC Comics has always stood in contrast to their main rival, Marvel Comics, on many fronts. One of the biggest differences between the two has been their divergent view on the superhero origin, with many of Marvel’s heroes getting their powers genetically. Although DC has started leaning into this as well, they’re better off avoiding the trope altogether.DC and Marvel have one of the most famous corporate rivalries in business, with creators and fans alike often expressing strong support for one over the other. Both companies have very different methods when it comes to the production of their stories, ranging from how superheroes are created to writing techniques. This very choice is something fans actually love, as it presents them with two incredibly different worlds to choose from, each appealing to a different type of fan. If the idea of superheroes is the question, Marvel and DC present two competing answers, one being a world of evolved powers, and the other a twist of fate. This gives fans a true choice between visions of superheroes, and the universe itself allows different types of fan more room to invest in their universes.Through the X-Men alone, dozens of Marvel’s heroes and villains exist through a simple case of higher evolution, spawning an entire philosophical debate and civil rights movement within the 616. The formula is simple but it’s also ingrained in Marvel’s DNA in a way that almost makes it feel like a comic book patent. No company should be off limits from toying with the idea of mutation (and plenty of companies use the idea) but in drawing a line between Marvel and DC, it’s better with the former. Considering how few true mutants there are at DC, this should be an easy proposition for the company. Most of DC’s mutants are obscure, like Captain Comet and Ice. Even most DC heroes who were born with powers weren’t the product of metagenes, but magic or being of a different species.RELATED: Who Was DC Comics’ Version Of Stan Lee?
