About Dynamic Duel
Dynamic Duel was founded in 2016 by twin brothers Jonathan and Joseph Garcia, lifelong comic book fans who grew up debating one question: DC or Marvel?
What began as recorded sibling arguments evolved into something more analytical. Using Monte Carlo simulations and data-driven modeling, the brothers set out to determine the winners of fictional character matchups through probabilistic outcomes rather than opinion alone. The result was a distinctive podcast that blended fandom with structured analysis.
After nearly a decade of duels, Dynamic Duel has entered a new era. Today, the show focuses exclusively on film and television reviews, offering thoughtful, spoiler-conscious analysis of superhero movies and streaming series.

The Hosts
Jonathan and Joseph Garcia were born and raised in Denver, Colorado — home to Mile High Comics, one of the largest comic retailers in the United States. Their love of superheroes began in childhood when their librarian mother brought home Marvel: Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics.
Soon after, the brothers split allegiances — Jonathan gravitating toward DC Comics, Joseph remaining loyal to Marvel. That rivalry became a decades-long debate that ultimately led to the creation of Dynamic Duel.
