Marvel Comics differentiated itself from DC Comics in the 20th century by introducing human, fallible superheroes with unlikely or unexpected origin stories. Also unlike DC, Marvel told stories that were set in real-life locations, such as New York City. However, fans and critics note that the two companies have historically imitated characters and qualities of each other’s comics.
