Who is better (not more powerful- obviously that goes to Superman)? Who has more character and depth? I would suggest that Spider-Man is more of an every man with issues that people can relate to. This make him more relate-able than a megapowerfull alien. What do other the other fine people on this site 'reckon?'

DC has gone through a whole lot of revamps and retcons in order to make their stern, patrician older-brother type heroes a little more empathetic. Probably around about the time Dikto left Marvel to join DC and again when JMS stopped writing for Marvel and went to DC (like as not because of the dire ending to OMD. Dark Knight Returns does stand out though.
but he is certainly the trope codifier Do you go to tvtropes much? Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Re: Punisher
Punisher: Warzone was good. It was based on Punisher Max imprint and had several scenes lifted right from the comic.

Re: Punisher
Ever see the first one with Dolph Lungren? Yeah, then I had to gouge out my eyes and stick a pencil up my nose to lobotomise myself! Makes Warzone look like Shindler's fucking List!!

Re: Franken-Castle!
I've never quite forgiven Ennis for derailing John Constantine so badly. That's a pity, I'm reading through Constantine (by way of Sandman) and I was looking forwards to the Ennis run. The way I see it Constantine is a bit of a douche; how does Ennis portray him? A far as I remember Ennis steers clear of the old 'Oirish' thing (much like in Preacher). But he has a nice range of cultural stereo types in 'The Boys'.

Re: Punisher
This then begs the question: Who would win: Norris, Lundgren, Seagul or van Damme? I don't think I should start another fight topic.... Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Re: Punisher
When Chuck Norris does press ups he is in fact pushing the planet down. And many, many more.

Proof Supes is a racist
This has got to be proof that Spider-man is better than Superman. Superdickery - Be sure to catch Avengers 4: The Unsnappening What a douche!
