Who are Siva and Visnu and how are they different and how similar?

Vishnu and shiva are part of the universal holy trinity with vishnu being the preserver, shiva being the destroyer, and brahma the creator. vishnu is said to have no beginning and the same thing with shiva but there are different versions to there births. They are similar because they worship eachother and they are part of the trinity. They are different since their functions are different and vishnu takes mortal form. Also they have different wives. There have been debates about which one of them is stronger but there was a story that cleared this. One day sati, shiva's first wife, killed herself since her father daksha made fun of shiva. Shiva got pissed and created veerbhrada. Daksha ask vishnu for help but vishnu said if he and shiva were to fought with their destructive powers, the whole universe will be reduced to nothing implying that they are equally matched in power
