I'm talking about Marvel's popularity in general. It started in the 60s with their revolutionary storytelling for comics. We had Spider-Man learning about Great Power and Great Responsibility and Captain America dealing with stuff like Civil Rights, meanwhile DC gave us stuff about Superman dealing with Rainbow Kryptonite.
It would've been a great story if we had a Batman comic where he realizes he's a White Collar Criminal who steals from his Shareholders.
Spidey? Lots of people. Iron Man was known by some, just not a superstar until the last 10 years.
Batman and Superman on the other hand were household names by 1960.
Lack of competition, mainly. If Marvel had come out at the exact same time as DC, Batman and Superman would've had a harder time of it.
