I prefer Marvel to DC. haven't followed a comic in years though. sad that thor is now a girl. stupid move. not that i have anything against girls, but Thor is a dude even in mythology. I'd have rather they made a new female character who can whoop thor's ass...that would be cool. anyways, can't believe i'm arguing for superman but on-panel feats can prove his superiority. something that dr. manhattan doesn't have...feats. until he has the on pnale feats to proved that he is capable of doing something, no superman die hard fan is gonna accept it as possible especially when manhattan is up against superman. heck, the really crazy ones have superman pimp slapping thor...who is in escence, superman's counterpart in marvel... |
As a current reader of Marvel, I agree. Although that soon to change considering they are downplaying one of their most interesting, important and real issues in mutants. Thor isn't a girl, Thor Odinson just don't have the hammer. And trust me, with Iceman (only younger version not older version, don't want to get into that mess) being outed, 'Black Captain America' (which has been done before and it's just Falcon this time), many people wonder why they just don't have a little faith in us comic readers and put some real effort into creating new characters to fill their 'quotas', instead of giving different character the Thor or Cap mantle.
You are correct though, Superman is a plot device. He's so powerful it's weird if he holds back. Manhattan is a reality manipulator and suggesting that Superman can best them means any fight, any 'VS' is redundent when he is involved, Kryptonite or not. Could he best a 'Q'? Could he stop Jaspers? The current story in Marvel might not even have occured if Superman was there. :P
Hmm, pie.
