First, in general DC has stronger characters(in terms of powers), but Marvel's are a bit more realistic. Second, Spider-Man is just as popular as Batman or Superman, and everyone knows the Avengers due just how good the movie was. So everyone knows who Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk is. If we include the X-Men, and Spidey people know more marvel teams. I think people know the idea of the justice league, as the superfriends. Finally Marvel at least does not reboot its universe every few years or so. But they are letting One More Day still exist in continuity, so mixed bag.
