DC or Marvel, I just can't relate to super-powerful characters so I don't usually respond well to them. I think Bruce Banner is incredibly interesting but I hate the Hulk.
Even characters like Batman are sometimes too much for me. He's too "perfect". A super smart Gazillionaire, ninja, detective, tactician who has near unlimited resources? Ugh. Same goes for Iron Man.
I read the types of stories with the types of characters I feel the most connection to. Where their struggles feel grounded and intimate. For example, my favorite Marvel "hero" is the Punisher. The MAX books are amazing. My favorite DC hero is The Question (my detective of choice over Batman)
of course there are some real powerhouse badasses that enjoy regardless. Wonder Woman and Nova for example.
