this is probably the dumbest + most confusing question

[(Anonymous)]

i know very very very little about marvel aside from having watched most of the movies + daredevil and i was wondering, do dc superheroes exist in any way in the marvel universe??

i mean in terms of like, would anyone ever say "___ is your kryptonite" like would foggy ever say that to matt or does the marvel universe have absolutely no reference/knowledge to/of the dc universe?? i mean as far as i'm aware they don't exist as actual people but like do they exist in comic/character form?? could foggy have read superman/batman comics growing up??

o.p here: i'm mostly asking because i want to write something inspired by the song "kryptonite" by three doors down but then i was like "would this even make sense in the mcu?? would they know what kryptonite was?? who superman is??"

Sometimes they cross over. Sometimes it's even canon:

Personally, I like to make the DC universe the comic books that the MCU people would have grown up reading.

So, Superman and Batman aren't real, but Captain America and Daredevil are, etc.

Marvel characters make constant reference to DC characters as fictional people.

Spiderman makes a joke that he's Batman

And there was that time in Waid's Daredevil where someone called Matt "Red Batman."

Short answer: yes. DC is a comic book company in the Marvel universe. Foggy could have totally read Supes or Batman comics.

Long asnwer, also a personal headcanon: I like to think that all the Marvel properties that don't fall under the MCU - so the X-Men, for example - also exist as comic books in the MCU. I find it funny to have MCU characters discuss X-Men or FF. I can see Foggy being all excited for the Deadpool movie.

Foggy and Matt could have also read Captain America comics. It's MCU canon that Steve had comics written about him.
