Although I agree with you what you say, generally... The revamped Flash
predated Marvel, as did the JLA and other revamped characters,.... however,
if memory serves, the FF and Avengers were Marvel's reponse to the JLA...
then again, Marvel did touch the heart of its audience in a way that DC
didn't back then in the late 50s/early 60s.
