Oh and for every Hulk Poddle you got Bat-mite, Quisp, Bizarro, Rainbow raider, Cap'n Cold, Forever people, Jimmy Olson, Aquaman, Multiverses, Krypto, Penguin, LOSH, Misfit, DC is fun but lame in general.

Also remember it was Stan Lee & Kirby who really changed superheroes from pure camp/kiddie fare to trying to make them relateable and have some kind of themes and sense of reality you said it yourself Marvel plays in the grey area and as soon as Fantastic Four hit big, DC started copying Marvel by trying to bring angst and realistic themes to their heroes, before Superman was just a boyscout bully with little or no nuance then DC took notes from Marvel by playing up the 'lonely alien outsider'

Campy, DC is far more campy aside from elseworlds and vertigo the mainline DCU is utterly camptastic they live in fake cities and have sidekicks, their villians aside from Joker are laughable for the most part. Most Marvel heroes have some kind of meaning of theme behind them from Hulks rage and the misuse of science to Ironman a drunk guy in essentially the most advanced tool of war, Magneto in the holocaust to Cap'n America being a symbol of a country he barely fits in.

Marvel is more goofy?Dude that is so incorrect, DC is extremely goofy from Cap'n Marvel and his villians to Bat-mite and Cosmic treadmills and Bizarroworld and Krypto and sidekicks like Robin DC is by far way goofier. Marvel on the other hand has it's goofy moments and characters it's mostly played straight and they live in a world closer to ours, they play with themes the X-men are basically a comic version of the civil rights movement etc..
