DC Or Marvel Fan? Take This Quiz To See Which % Everyone Is Of Each

It's the biggest divide in the comic book fandom: DC versus Marvel! These two juggernauts are far from the only major comic book publishers, but they are the two that most people know best - and they are certainly the two biggest. DC and Marvel are the universes that host the most famous superheroes of all time, Superman, Spider-Man, The Justice League, The X-Men... Smaller publishers might have some incredible content, especially when it comes to comic characters that aren't quite so spandex and cape-clad, but they just don't have the same kind of pull that DC and Marvel do.

However, there is definitely some friendly (and not so friendly) debate around which of these two publishers is the 'better' one. Fans may choose their 'side' based on the characters that first got them into comics, the relative merits of the sprawling, big-screen universes, their favorite teams, writers, artists, or even just the overall style of the books.

Which are you? Are you a die-hard Marvel fan who has been rooting for the X-Men since childhood, or are you one of the DC crew, who can never imagine a hero better than Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman? Maybe you are peacekeeper, who thinks that both Marvel and DC have their merits, and there is no need to take sides, or perhaps you are the kind of comic fan who prefers the smaller publishers and indie comics to the big two... take our quiz to find out!

Question 1

Thoughts on the underdog?

When it comes to a big battle, are you always the one that is going to root for the underdog? Are you cheering on the little guy, or are you a little bit more cynical, tending to cheer for the one that is more likely to win the bout, no matter how much spunk and spirit their competitor has shown?

Question 2

Pick the best animation studio.

Question 3

Should comics be cheerful, or serious?

What kind of feeling do you want to get from your comic books? Do you read comics for something a little lighthearted and kid-friendly, with plenty of jokes and one-liners, or do you prefer something that is more adult-oriented and that can get dark? Maybe you like a mix, or you read either, depending on your mood?

Question 4

Pure hero, or anti-hero?

When it comes to heroes, would you rather see the kind of upstanding super that is a pure hero, through and through? Or are you a bigger fan of the heroes that live in the gray area, who are trying their best to be their own kind of hero, but who have a little bit of darkness in them as well?

Question 5

Pick a clothing style.

How would you best describe your personal style of dressing?

Question 6

Pick a Hogwarts house.

It's one of the other biggest questions of allegiance in geekdom - which of the four Hogwarts houses is the one that you would be sorted into in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? Are you the most like a brave Gryffindor, a loyal Hufflepuff, a wise Ravenclaw, or a cunning Slytherin?

Question 8

Single issue, or trade paperbacks?

How do you prefer to do your comic book reading? Are you the kind of person who rushes to the local comic book shop every Wednesday morning to grab the latest issues of the titles that you read - maybe you even have a pull list at the store?

Question 9

What's the best way to buy comics?

How do you like to buy your comic books (whether you do it in single issues or wait for the trade paperbacks)?

Question 10

Is 'geek fashion' wearable?

How do you feel about 'geek fashion' - a kind of style that has become increasingly popular as nerd culture has become more mainstream?

Question 15

Which of these is the best director?

Which of these comic book movie directors is your favorite to have behind the camera when bringing superheroes to life on the big screen?

Question 16

Are fight scenes more important than character storylines?

What's the most important element of a comic book story for you - which is more interesting for you to read?

Question 17

Pick a superhero team.

Which of these superhero teams are you the biggest fan of? Do you love the Avengers, whether on the big screen or in comic books - or do you prefer the might of the Justice League? Maybe you are more of an X-Men and mutant fan than either of those... or you prefer following individuals, not teams.

Question 18

Pick a comic con to attend.

For many comic book fans, the comic convention is the highlight of the year - whether you are there to meet favorite artists, listen to panels featuring the stars of TV series and big budget films, or just to buy some new gear and enjoy being in the company of thousands of other nerds... which of these comic cons would you most like to attend?

Maybe Buffy The Vampire Slayer is more your thing, or The Big Bang Theory.

Question 24

Are R-Rated comic book movies a good thing?

At one time, all comic book movies were family friendly, but in recent years, more and more are becoming adult-oriented.

Question 26

Apple or PC?

Another divisive topic is the question of which kind of technology you prefer to use in your day to day life.

Maybe you mix and match, or try to avoid technology as much as possible...

Question 27

Favorite meal of the day?

You can tell a lot about a person by the way that they like to eat - and which meal of the day is their favorite. Are you a breakfast person, who loves to start the day right (and eat as soon as they wake up!), or are you more into a leisurely lunch? Maybe you are a big fan of a sit down dinner, or you are actually a snack person first and foremost.

Question 28

Best non-comic superhero storytelling?

While comic books might be the classic way to tell superhero stories, that doesn't mean that it's the only way to connect with their adventures.

Maybe you get comic inspired tattoos, or you aren't really into collectible items..

Question 33

Pick a non-superhero comic.

Although comic books might be the most closely associated with superheros, there are plenty of comics that don't feature superpowers, caped crusaders, or any kind of heroes at all. These comics cover as wide a range of subjects as any other kind of book - but which of these titles are you most likely to read?

Question 34

What's the best part of a comic con?
