DC characters often embody archetypes like the stoic hero (Batman), the powerful figure burdened by responsibility (Superman), or the morally complex vigilante (The Punisher). Marvel’s character archetypes are often more diverse and relatable, including the everyman hero (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), the flawed but well-intentioned leader (Captain America), and the mischievous anti-hero (Deadpool). DC's heroes are frequently seen as more idealized, while Marvel's are more human.
