If we talk about superheroes, there are two character-producing "universes" that monopolize the fight for hegemony (excluding Japanese anime / manga).
It's about DC Comics
or Marvel Studio.
Both companies have produced multiple heroes and villains who have permeated world culture.
Now a specialized portal in the United Kingdom revealed the favorite superheroes in 113 countries:
in Argentina, Superman won
.
The list of those who prevailed in more countries is headed by Spiderman (Spider-Man) with 57.
It is followed by
Wonder Woman
(The Wonder Woman) who was the most sought after in 15 countries, including Russia.
The list is completed with Batman (11), Ironman (10), Superman (6);
Captain America (4),
Aquaman
(4), Hulk (3);
Wanda Maximoff (2) and Groot (1).
Superman and Batman.
The study based on Google enshrines the first, but there is debate on the networks.
The statistical work of the Game.co.uk site, which went viral on networks this Wednesday, has peculiarities and results that generated debates among comic fans.
For example, Captain America is not the most wanted in the United States (where Spider-Man wins), as could be presumed by his patriotism of origin, but he is in Canada and Australia.
Brazil marks its predilection for
the incredible Hulk
and in India, the second most populous market in the world the most sought after is Wanda, the "scarlet witch", who took on dimensions with the Avengers saga.
"Our new study
will put an end to the discussions
as we have analyzed Google search volumes around the world to reveal which universe is a fan favorite," boasted the report's authors at Game.co.uk.
Social networks, of course, demonstrated with their reactions and questions,
quite the opposite
.
The debate intensified.
The study concludes that
six of the
study's most popular
superheroes
belong to the
Marvel
franchise
and four to DC
.
The most wanted superheroes.

Argentina's surprise villain
It is a fictional character that appears in the Spiderman comics, an
amorphous and liquid alien
who performs a symbiosis with a host, usually human, to whom he gives superpowers.
The literally most wanted villain in the country was
Venom

The
intergalactic autocrat Thanos
, the meanest of the bad guys in the
Avengers
Endgame
saga
, is the favorite that arouses the most interest in the world, being the most wanted villain
in 66 countries
.
In second place is the Joker,
Batman's
famous
rival
Joker
, most in demand in 21 nations.
Venom was in the top three, with 16 countries.
Its popularity increased after the premiere of the 2018 blockbuster starring Tom Hardy.
DC or Marvel?
The survey based on google also shows that the
Marvel
factory
sweeps
as the favorite in 51 countries and accounts for
85% of the results
.
Curiously, despite the fact that Superman is from the DC universe, in Argentina
Marvel also
won
as the favorite
.
Marvel beats DC in many countries.
With hit franchises like Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and
X-Men
, it dominated the box office for many years.
With its new release on Disney + of exclusive series such as
Wandavision
and
Falcon and The Winter Soldier
, it is no wonder that it is the most chosen.
DC increased in popularity with the Justice League, Aquaman, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman, but without success.
Apart from Wonder Woman, perhaps his most successful and outstanding bet of recent years, Joker, had little to do with the classic structure of a superhero film.
Anyway, the study is just a photograph of the searches.
Favorites will be difficult to label.
And options, there are for all tastes.
