DC and Marvel Comic book references?

Don't know why but I always equated Ms. Marvel with Power Girl. Especially when Frank Cho drew her. I know Super/Powergirl are essentially the same character but....

 

I haven't read them all but I really like the way Carol Dancers appears to be with the whole Alpha Flight and Civil War stories.

 

Concerning that version of Supergirl (fusion of Matrix and Linda Danvers), the series ended with Linda meeting the Pre-Crisis Supergirl. She attempted to take Kara's place in Crisis... but it didn't work and Linda lost her husband (Superman of that world) and daughter (who eventually becomes the Supergirl of DC One Million). Linda was so devastated by her losses that she left for parts unknown with no desire to be found. She left a final letter for Clark where she explains her reasons for leaving, along with the skateboard that was featured on the cover of issue #1. Soon after that, a new Supergirl appeared who had basically the same origin as the Pre-Crisis Supergirl.

 

I would really have to say that I prefer Marvel stories at this point. The movies and the characters are substantially better than DC. I don't read comics anymore but I still go to the theater every week. My favorite Marvel characters are Captain America, Captain Marvel, Iron Man and the Black Panther.

 

Jack Kirby who was the forgotten genius of Marvel went to work for DC, maybe some of his Marvel type creations will see light of day under DC‘s umbrella.

 

Pretty sure the para-demons in the Batman/Superman movie are Kirby creations. There's probably more in there but I never was a big fan of Kirby's DC run so I can't be sure.

 

DC on tv has been better than DC movies, liking the Doom Patrol series so far (but then I never read the Morrison ones so it's a different version than I've been familiar with).
