Famous female characters: Marvel or DC?

@modernww2fare: Right you are, ms Kyle slipped my mind.

Personally, I don't think anyone is discounting the popularity of certain X-Men characters. Most of them alone are far more popular than most of the other Marvel characters combined. And people might know who Black Widow is, but I'd argue she's not substantially more popular than Starfire if at all. Starfire is on television constantly. Black Widow is referenced in television, but she's not a major name like most of the characters she's worked with in the movies like Captain America, Iron Man, or even Hulk. While she may be a bigger deal in the comics, that's not the case for what should be her most popular incarnation.

How is Invisible Woman more well known than Raven or Starfire?

@scouterv: Same question to you ?

One belongs to the most popular superhero family team, the first Marvel team, and has been in two movies.

DC

That depends on what you mean by family.

I'd wager the Batman Family is more popular than the Fantastic Four. Hell, I doubt the Fantastic Four are even the most popular team at Marvel, and those movies were...alright. Nothing spectacular though, and how long has it been since those movies came out? The first film is ten years old, the second is eight, and the reboot has been far from inspiring from what little information we do have.

Now don't get me wrong. Starfire and Raven aren't the most popular characters ever, but I'd argue the success of the Teen Titans animated series, as well as the TTG variation, combined with their placement in comics from years past and arguably present, puts them in similar, if not outright better positions than Sue Storm. Not to mention their live-action appearances in the upcoming Teen Titans series.

@scouterv: I don´t think the Batman family is more popular than the fantastic four, ask non comic book readers and they are probably going to say Batman and Catwoman, ask them about the fantastic four and most people know them, they at least know they are the guys that can stretch, disappear, the rock guy and the fire guy.

Doesn´t matter how good or bad the Teen Titans animated series was, Raven and Starfire are not well known, go ahead and ask people out there, then ask them about the fantastic four.

DC

Obviously D.C.

No where near. The Fantastic Four are definitely dropping in popularity; hopefully the movie will help get it back up. I think they are in the top 3 though, under the X-men and Avengers

It depends what age group your asking. More people in their teens and maybe early twenties would probably know and like Raven and Starfire more than Sue. I do think people know the Bat family more (I'm just including Batman and Robin). than the fantastic four.

@thor_parker82: did you just say Catwoman is more famous than Lois Lane? Are you serious? You don't even need to know comics to know who Lois Lane is.

@thor_parker82: now you're saying the FF is more iconic than the Bat-Family? What next? Thor is more popular than Batman?

Stop being wrong.

@superguy1591: I suggest you to go back and read my comments.

I said I forgot Lois Lane, she is iconic as well.

I NEVER said the Fantastic Four are more iconic than the Bat-Family, I said they are more popular.

Stop misreading.

@hammer_of_j2:

1- I never said they are the most popular team, I said they are the most popular family in a team.

2- Go and ask people about Raven and Starfire, then ask them about the Fantastic Four, you´ll see who is more famous.

Of course Batman and Robin are more popular than the FF, but the Bat-Family includes more than just them, so if you include all, FF are more popular. People have probably never heard the name Tim Drake, Damian Wayne etc..

I feel like we aren´t going to agree, so let´s just agree to disagree.

@thor_parker82:

1- you said Catwoman is more iconic than Lois Lane, that is not true.

2-youre wrong. Robin, Batgirl and Alfred are more famous than the Fantastic Four.

I'm pretty sure more non-comic book readers will know Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, and Nightwing, at the very least. Far more probably know them, as opposed to the Fantastic Four, which isn't to knock their popularity, but alone Batman is probably more popular, well-known, and iconic than the FF.

I'd be hard-pressed to believe more people know the Teen Titans today, vs. The Fantastic Four.

You think they still beat out Guardians of the Galaxy?

Well if we are asking about the whole Fantastic Four then why not ask about the whole Teen Titans. I'm almost positive the teen Titans are more popular than the FF right now. If you ask about Sue herself and raven and Starfire it would make more sense.

Yeah we probably arent

@scouterv: Surprisingly, I don't think so. That was just a team I forgot

Fair enough. In all honesty, I like The Fantastic Four. I just don't think they're all that popular these days. That doesn't diminish their importance to Marvel history, and Doctor Doom is a favorite villain of mine, but I think their overall day in the sun is done.

I mean, you already said the X-Men who have always been popular, Marvel's flagship team is The Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy have made a strong powerplay as of late.

Meanwhile, Marvel is talking about ending the Fantastic Four.

Wonder woman stomps everyone. Batgirl is pretty popular too, just because she's a female batman.

Marvel does have Black Widow but she's nowhere near those two.

Whichever one has Wonder Woman is the obvious answer.

TBH I'm not really much of a FF fan, but like you said their still really important. As I said earlier, hopefully the movie should bring their popularity up, whether good or bad.

Jean grey beats any DC female heroes. DC may be more famous but most of them are just cheap knock offs of their mail counter parts or sidekicks the rest are just unknown
