I am still holding to my anti-DC opinion. Both universes have their share of dead people coming back to life. The biggest Marvel screw up is the whole Onslaught storyline.

However, Steve Rogers is assassinated. I don't think he's coming back. They didn't make the Hulk green when the movie came out, they kept him red. They won't bring back Steve Rogers just because of the movie.

Gwen Stacy was killed. She never came back. (Yes, I know the whole clone saga, but that was built in to fail. She never ACTUALLY came back, they were just expanding on a storyline from earlier in the series that related to her.)

I know they brought back Bucky, but they brought him back... like 60 years later. They couldn't even wait more then 20 to bring back Jason Todd.

The point of the matter is that DC makes heroes that cannot die. Like Superman. (He is the purpose of this thread, right?) And when they die and inevitably return, you have less invested in your characters. When Marvel does something, there's a 50-50 shot it'll take. Wolverine gets his skeleton ripped out, Steve Rogers is dead, Harry Osborne is dead, Gwen Stacey is dead, etc...etc...

That's why we care more about Marvel characters then DC characters and that's one of the reasons why Marvel does infinitely better then DC.
