NowhereMan

It really depends on what you value most: consistency or peaks. The Silver Surfer is a more relevant and popular character, therefore we have a lot more info on him. He has a much greater number of feats to exemplify than Drax. If you go by the classic Drax of the Forever People comics, that got easily defeated by Darkseid more than once, then I'd say the Surfer has a slight edge. Not that Darkseid wouldn't defeat the surfer as well, but I'd like to think that it would take more than a stare. Surfer has more than a slight edge if u go by post-annihilation surfer, who got a power boost. If you go by the Infinity-Man of the death of the new gods, that's a whole other story. He killed Orion without much of a fight. The same Orion that has more than once had extended fights against Darkseid and hold his own for a while. He was, after all, doing work for the Source, and in that role it's only reasonable to assume he was unbeatable.

@Stegman: I didn't say DC heroes are perfect. Yeah, they are flawed, but it's just different from Marvel. I mean, you don't see Hal Jordan telling the Guardians he can't go save Jupiter cause he has to work overtime in order to pay the rent. You don't see Superman struggling in his relashionship with Lois, on the verge of divorce. You don't see WW stopping at a KFC to get a snack.
You may try hard to look past the superhero identity to get to the individual at DC, but the superhero identity is nearly always more important than their personal lives. But if you take Iron Man for example, the fact that he is Tony Stark and his personality traits are always more important to the stories than the fact that he is Iron Man.

It's not about power level either. Marvel has several very powerful heroes. But even the Silver Surfer who's to be one of the least relatable Marvel characters is always having existential crisis to which we can all relate. The point is that the DC stories are centered on the image of the super-heroes, while Marvel ones are centered on their personalities. One is to inspire and the other is to relate.

well, my family and friends have me to inform them, so even though they're not interested in comic books they actually know of a few Marvel females (thogh mostly cause of movies), such as Rogue, Jean Grey, Storm, Mystique and Invisible Woman. If I had to make a top  of most important females in Marvel Comics I guess they'd be:
