Ok, i just got out of my 3rd Marvel tourney that i just took first place in for the first time. It was pretty intense. 300pts. 10 rounds etc.etc. I'm now the proud owner of a Wilson Fisk LE. My first Marvel LE.

Well first match was a against a first timer, he came at me with

Juggernaut E 125
Wolverine E 61
Thing E 110

It went 5 rounds. Enough said. Although it went without saying I did try and give the guy a few strategies to come with in the future like what was taught to me by not concetrating too many points on few figures.

Then i played 2nd round against Ontapmedia. I was pretty nervous but i ended up prevailling in the end after a tough match.

3rd i was matched against the store employee who decide to particpate at the end of his shift. He had a pretty intimedating team.

NightCrawler U 83
Wolverine LE 70
Shehulk R 59
Scarlet Witch R 29
Vulture R 15
Hydra Medic LE (17)
Black Panther R 27

I dropped his whole team without a loss. He was NOT happy.

But that gets to my post, the Judge set the next week game at 300pt. Marvel or a DC team, not mixed though.

So my question is, Who is stronger? DC or Marvel. I'm partial to marvel just because I grew up with them. But i'm not sure which Side To Go With???

Some thoughts i had were.......

Marvel seems to have longer range

DC seems to have better Close Combat figures and Team Abillities.

Which do you find more valuable or usable? Your thoughts on what you might go with?
:D

Hey BlueLeader,

Two times aweek my employees and I get together and play a "mixed game".

I have complete sets of both IC and Clobberin Time, one of the guys has the full DC and the third guy has a huge Mage Knight collection.

With very few modifications to the rules we play three player games.

The results have been very interesting...

Our season standings have Marvel and DC tied for the most wins with Mage Knight lagging behind.

In head to head Marvel/DC competition we have come to the following conclusions...

The Marvel Universe contains better range/attack and defense values as a whole, as well as blades/claws/fangs and flurry.

The main advantages that DC brings to the table are:
1.) Impervious - Invulnerability with the roll to avoid damage alltogether.
2.) Close combat expert ability

The impervious factor has made a huge difference in DC's wins in our league....Good rolls = huge misses. On top of that, without a lot of Outwit in the Marvel Universe it does make a huge difference.


With all that being said, I will still always Make Mine Marvel!!!
