Can anyone name a well known superhero that was created within the last five years? And heroes like female Thor, Miss Marvel, and new Captain America don't count, since they aren't really new heroes. I'm talking 100% completely new superhero. DC and Marvel are really more interested in publishing stories about the same heroes, rather than investing in new characters. If things don't change, I expect the superhero genre to grow stagnant and stale.
Where's the new superheroes?
@superadam: Sentry?
@superadam: Sentry?
He was created 15 years ago.
@superadam: Say WHAAAAAT

That's the comic book buyers fault, DC had some pretty good stories and very well received stories revolving around new or lesser used characters at the start of the new 52 as people where shouting out for variety and all these titles sold poorly so now we have about 5-10 Batman titles a month because that's what people buy.
Marvel never even tried, they just stick everyone in the Avengers who they still have full creative control over.
@superadam: What about the awesomes :P?

Silk? I guess she would fall under the Spider-Man umbrella, though. There have been a bunch of new Inhuman characters that are featured in that title but that's kind of like introducing new mutants, they're usually automatically affiliated with the X-Men.
@wrglfan2814: she's a new Spider-Woman so technically she doesn't count.
It is a massive risk to just give a new hero a book; most of the time that strategy failed miserably. The best way to introduce a new character is to put them on a popular team book or as a supporting character in an already established hero's book. Then, if the character is popular enough, they'll get their own book.
