Formerly known by names including "Atlas" and "Timely", Marvel Entertainment is the publisher of comic books featuring iconic characters and teams such as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America and Daredevil. Currently owned by the Walt Disney Company, Marvel is one of the "Big Two" comic publishers along with DC Comics.
I'm trying to think of another Marvel female character that has been able to carry her own title for a consistent duration like She-Hulk has. I guess Spider-Woman had a 50-issue run like way back in the day.
Carol Danvers is a bit higher in the current pecking order in my opinion. right now, I would say Marvel's most successful females are Carol and maybe Black Widow. An argument could definitely be made for Natasha as well.
marvels most recognizable female to the general public is the invisible woman or black widow due to the recent films she hulk is up there as well probably 3rd though i mean there is barely any one dosnt know the invisible woman i mean really
But does number of appearances actually equate success? I'd say that success is contingent on good writing for that character consistently since her inception. Many Marvel purists would argue that Secret Invasion remove both Elektra and Spider-Woman from the running, but I dunno. Personally, I think She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) is the best female character to hold her own title. She has been utilized to tell both dramatic and comedic stories that came off genuine; she's been a part of memorable storylines in her own comic as well as others, and she is extremely visible to the general public. lol She's even been the subject of pornography. (~sighs~) Ahem!
