I'd rather live in Opal City.
Saying that Starman, go read. Not relatable? Poppycock!
Sounds like something a DC fan would say when Marvel characters object to the overpowered or over-perfect characters. You're the one who assuming peoples preferences are based on inexperience, and because someone doesn't share your opinion they must be ignorant. Yes "relatablility" is often a term that can be used when people lack a better explanation of why the prefer one over the other, just like my dad used to complain of repetitive lyrics in my music, when much of the music he liked was just as repetitive. When I first started reading comics, I read Marvel and DC equally, but I enjoyed the Marvel comics more (with the exception of Teen Titans), and yes I did find it easier to relate to a character who had to worry about his grades than a guy who can move planets with his bare hands, but a lot of that had to do with the quality of writing, and it doesn't mean I'm ignorant of the Superman mythos.This...The term "relatability" is merely a smokescreen used by ignorant fanboys who simply dont have the guts to say that they prefer marvel because they simply dont know much about dc besides their preconceived notions
I know you're probably talking about Spider-Man vs. Superman or something, but... you know... Blue Beetle vs. Thor. I'm just saying.I did find it easier to relate to a character who had to worry about his grades than a guy who can move planets with his bare hands

Sorry, I mean the current Blue Beetle-- Jaime Reyes. Teenager who has a couple of friends he always hangs out with and has to worry about his grades. He's easily more relatable for some people than Iron Man, Sentry, Thor, Silver Surfer, the Fantastic Four, or Hank Pym.

You can't relate to a man who forsaken his home planet to travel the cosmic skyscape to search out life supporting planets for his master to consume, forever being filled with loneliness you occassionally circumvent by creating black holes?
Wow, you must live in a cave.
I don't really like these company vs company things. It doesn't make sense to me.
I look at each character as an individual character. Not a property or member of a certain universe. So saying things like "Well DC characters are less relatable than Marvel characters" or vice versa is just stupid.
It all depends on who YOU are really. Some people could relate to the billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne, some people could relate to the nerdy and awkward Peter Parker.
Or all this "I can relate to that character" business can be just thrown out of the window and people can read comics for escapism and just to see and read some awesome ****.

That job sucks, the pay is good, but the hours are murder.
