Besides the differing styles of play, it's also interesting that in DC Universe Online no one don't actually plays as one of the established heroes/villains but rather create your own, so there's still only one Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Joker, etc. in the world.
Conversely, in Marvel Heroes everyone does play as the established heroes, which means that at any one time there could be multiple Spider-Men, Hulks, Captain Americas, Iron Men, Thors, etc. in the world.
Which of those two approaches appeals more to you?

That was a really good game too. It's too bad that it was eventually shut down.
Interestingly, Champions Online (yet another superhero-themed MMO) was originally being developed by Cryptic Studios as Marvel Universe Online, but at some point during the development Marvel and Cryptic went their separate ways, after which Cryptic then obtained the Champions license
Marvel then signed with Gazillion Entertainment and here we are.

Just DL'd DCUO and managed to waste a few minutes on it. Came about THIS close to just deleting the dang thing. Left an unfinished character hanging while I went to see Man of Steel. Came back and it wouldn't let me log back in. Kept saying something was wrong with my station name or password despite repeated attempts and resetting pw and more repeated attempts. Let it sit for a while and decided to give it ONE last chance and it let me log back in. Doubt I'll do much with it for long though.

Considering Marvel lets you actually play the "main comic book heavyweights", this is a pure curbstomp leaving DC to go get some dentures! The greatest strength of the big boys, Marvel & DC, had over the imitators was their characters and DC just squandered that. There was a REASON why CoH players were copying Marvel and DC Super Heroes, the fans wanted to play as them! A lot of people must had their heads far up their posteriors to make the decision to not let the players play the official DC characters in the official DC game.

That logging in problem isn't a regular thing, but rather was a weird problem on their end (I had the same problem trying to log in yesterday after coming home from watching Man of Steel in 3D too).
Hopefully they have the problem fixed by now.

I've read many posts on various message boards with that point of view, and have also read just about the same amount of posts actually liking how they could create their own heroes/villians in DCUO rather than having to play established ones.
Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

I am just me and myself and all, but I actually like the idea of creating my own superhero with his own suite of abilities and his own story. I might sometimes want to copy other superhero concepts, but I like making my own take on it.
Admittedly, I wanted to recreate a Dr. Manhatten look-a-like in Champions Online. But that's neither DC nor Marvel...
