In the categories of Heroes, Villains, Games, Movies, and TV, you voted on who reigned supreme. So who won? Let's break down the categories:

Heroes



Winner: Marvel

Villains

Is the Joker more twisted than Doctor Doom? Can Apocalypse hold a candle to Darkseid? Here are the results:



Winner: Marvel

Games

They've both had their share of triumphs. Batman: Arkham Asylum vs. X-Men Legends. And they've both had.. well, less successful forays into the digital realm. Superman 64 vs. Iron Man: The Movie Game, for example.



Winner: Marvel

TV

Which is more beloved, Batman: The Animated Series or the 1990's X-Men Animated Series? Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman or Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno's Incredible Hulk?



Winner: DC

Movies

This was the category that was won by a landslide. It pit The Dark Knight vs. Iron Man and Supergirl vs. Daredevil. Who came out the victor?




Winner: Marvel

Overall Winner: MARVEL



Winning four out of the five categories, Marvel came out on top as the ultimate superhero universe as picked by the IGN readers. It was a war valiantly fought by both parties, but it was ultimately the House of Ideas that won the day.

I would disagree with a couple of those and say Dc wins some of those categories.

You have a new picture everyday blackwidow lol. Oh ya and there should have been an animated film category, in which DC would have smoked Marvel with ease.

@KaneVonDoom
Dc Universe Online and MK vs Dc Universe are also good.
But apart from the MvC series and the X-Men Legends series, what good games do Marvel have?

In fairness it's more of an all round popularity contest as opposed to people genuinely taking the poll questions into consideration.
That said, Marvel do have a larger number of "top level" heroes in my opinion.

Nevertheless though, if you go through lists of greatest graphic novels/comics stories ever written, DC will be outnumber Marvel for sure.

But it's irrelevant, they both rule.
Stan Lee loves Superman and was massively inspired by DC, and Marvel has done it's own thing and grown into a phenom in the industry.

Whatever, most of the characters in both companies are second-tier at best.

Marvel does better at everything. just honestly it does. ultimate spider-man kicked ass. just because DC mustered up one good game doesn't mean it beats marvel's kick ass game list.

arkham asylum would be the top game when it comes to comicbook games, but i guess ur right, i got a bit hyped up and forgot about the countless hours i spent playin spiderman games or the wolverine game but that doesnt change the fact that all the games im thinking of from marvel are all old games from years ago now wheres the better stuff marvel? I want something new for my ps3! The spiderman games have been going down hill since web of shadows.
