During the Silver Age (1956-1970), DC Comics focused on re-inventing existing Golden Age heroes, often with updated costumes and storylines. Marvel, conversely, pioneered a more character-driven approach, emphasizing relatable flaws, complex motivations, and personal struggles alongside their superpowers. This led to heroes like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four who felt more like 'real' people.
