Since the Silver Age, Marvel and DC Comics have had one of the most iconic rivalries in the creative industry. This is no real surprise, considering how the two companies have dominated the comic book industry, with no clear third place to even get close to them. Under the guidance of industry luminaries, both companies have satirized and paid homage to the works of their rivals. This has left both companies with pastiches of each other’s core superhero teams.In 1960, DC Comics unveiled what would soon become their flagship superhero team, the Justice League of America. Just three years later, Marvel had created a slew of superhero teams including the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four. Though both companies still have numerous teams, the JLA and Avengers both represent the standard understanding of the ensemble superhero team. These collections of their respective world’s greatest heroes, however, aren’t without their share of homages and derivative works. Marvel and DC’s greatest pastiche teams are the Squadron Supreme and the Retaliators, respectively. Relegated to their own unique worlds in the multiverse, these two teams have never dueled in fiction but they have a lot in common. That said, they also have their own strengths and weaknesses and weird histories.In 1940, DC Comics brought together some of their best Golden Age heroes in the Justice Society of America. This team, which included mantles like Doctor Fate, Sandman, Green Lantern, and The Flash, debuted in All-Star Comics #3, by Gardner Fox, Sheldon Moldoff, Bernard Baily, and other greats. However, as the Golden Age mutated into the Silver Age, many of these heroes were phased out and were later moved to Earth-2 in DC’s multiverse. In 1960, DC had the idea to revive the concept of a superhero team for a new generation and approached Gardner Fox to replicate his team-up comics in a new era. The result was the Justice League of America, who made their debut in The Brave and the Bold #28, where they famously battled Starro the Conqueror.RELATED: 10 DCAU Questions That A Justice League Infinity Sequel Could Answer
