DC superheroes vs Marvel superheroes (according to canon) 1976-2004
I noticed a lot of 'Who would win' questions about DC vs. Marvel Superheroes. So I dug through my comic collection on a slow Sunday, and collected all the canonical battles between DC and Marvel Heroes I could find until I stopped collecting circa 2004.
Now you know who the publishers (and the public in some cases, as they got to vote) said would win. Note this is only 'Hero' vs. 'Hero'- no villains, cosmic entities or non heroic humans involved, despite the fact there were many good fights between those (The Impossible Man vs. Mister Mxyzptlk, and Thanos vs. Darkseid, for example). Also the victory conditions are simple. If one hero declares they're finished, the other wins. If a hero is seen unconscious or unable to continue fighting while the other is not, the one left standing is the victor. If neither hero is conclusively defeated, or if they come to a truce, it's considered a draw.
This also does not include short encounters in which there was no significant fight. There are a number of crossovers not listed here because the heroes never fought in that issue. They do however, trade villains often, and the villains almost always end up fighting each other. So, if you ever wanted to see Spider-Man punch out the Joker, or Batman vs. Carnage, I'll list those at the end.
Oh, and no Amalgam Comics.
