Marvel influenced DC a lot more: teenage superheroes, deeper storylines, flawed characters, superpowered people having normal problems, new universe with 0 continuity to attract new readers (the Ultimate Universe), and my favorite of them all: no underwear outside.

I can barely see how has DC influenced Marvel. Except for certain move to boost sales.

I don't really remember any character prior Marvel's '60s' characters which had flaws or was relateable, before the '60s, heroes weren't a superpowered version of normal people (like now) but everything a normal person would want to be. Heck, even comics before the '60s were the cheesiest thing that could've been seen, as an example, 40-50's Batman and Superman, including those World's Finest covers... uggghhh...
