Their approaches to a universe reboot also differed lately. DC seems to lean more towards simply hitting the reset button and overwriting the past (except when they tried to backpedal multiple times). Marvel's most recent universe shakeup is just a series of pulling stuff out of thin air, thinking that it's so clever. It all started with a silly premise - that Fury is really old and has been protecting the universe from all the important threats both cosmic and mystic (with a gamma bullet rifle.) and that the secrets he and Uatu have revealed turned the Marvel U into what it is now.
