Now all I can think about is how Havok isn't playable in so many damn games. He was in the Legends and Ultimate Alliance games, but was never playable. Shit was bizarre. He is one of the most misused characters that Marvel has.
Havok would be huge if he ever got a chance to be properly represented in anything (including the comics). The mother fucker's power set and back story are so fucking good.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
because you used her roles in games to try to state a level of popularity that isnt there. and even in her damsel in distress role, mj is still a prominent character
Having a double first name is definitely a sign of whiteness, even more particularly southern whiteness.
Bobby Jo, Billy Sue, etc.

Spiderman is also more popular than Batman and Superman but that doesn't mean I'd argue Mary Jane Watson, merely due to her attachment to a huge franchise, is more well known than Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent. I'm not sure why that reasoning holds against Jean Grey, either.
I think something is being lost in translation here. I initially disagreed with the statement that Watson was the most well known redhead in comics. I never contested her popularity, or her status as a prominent character.

Jean isn't the xmen though. She's never been the face of the xmen, just an ideal that a few xmen have tried and failed to live up to. Spider man is more popular that those two, but Jean isn't even a titular character to try to put in league with them, so it's not like that point holds water either. Jean is to the xmen as barbara Gordon is to Batman.

pretty popular among Southern Black folk and some parts of the Caribbean too.

Where'd you get that from?
someone's gonna post that out of date graph, but it's true
what the que? I guess you don't know many latinos.
Not only the caribbean, is a trait of hispanic and latino countries.
Huh, didn't know that. I just always thought of it as kind of a redneck thing.
As for Latinos, I assume Latinos don't use double Anglo names, though?
Edit: anyway, he only one I find odd is the Asian kid named Ned Leeds. But really, Ned is not really a popular name for anyone young these days.

SPIDER-MAN Is World's Most Profitable Superhero (And It's Not Even Close)

Which Superhero Earns $1.3 Billion a Year?

To be fair this data is from 2014, and I've no idea if Batman or Superman have toppled Spidey's merch since then. But I doubt it.
Well he's the best one that makes sense!

You missed a lot more. The Gamegear was way ahead of its time and an awesome handheld. Anyway, Phoenix was also playable in DOS games going back to the 90s.
X-Men II: The Fall of the Mutants:
DOS, fam.
But doesn't that highlight the problem with claiming she's more well known than Grey? MJ's popularity stems almost directly from her association with Spider-Man; not being a standalone character in her own right but from being, as you said, "right beside him". In a discussion about which of the two is more recognizable, how does Jane even approach a character like Grey if you remove Spider-Man from the picture? I imagine most people would be hard pressed to differentiate Barb Gordon in casual clothes from Watson.
Anyway, Grey wins the google fight so that's enough for me.
Oh yeah dude Google Fight is the best metric for this. You're right damn.

It's because Spider-Man still appeals to kids just as much as he appeals to adults. Their obsession with Batman being "mature" has partially alienated him from kids. Spider-Man strikes the right balance still. Superman is lower because they've slowly messed him up over the last few decades for a number of reasons.

Spidey loves the kids
He's way better with kids than that jerk the Human Torch that's for sure.

" smilies are usually a good indicator that the comment they're attached to shouldn't be taken too seriously, bruh. Agreed. And it's such a shame. DC has so many amazing properties and seemingly no idea what to do with them. It's frustrating to watch.
She will be alright, she already ended a couple of careers over some stupid shit

I know I know I just had to get in on that lol
The fact that this thread has become not much more than a Jean vs MJ popularity contest is so ridiculous but at least it just reads like people's egos not being willing to concede a point in a thread like 10 pages ago rather than someone arguing how lifethreateningly vital it is to keep some sort of red haired comic icon sacred. The latter is when you know these types of discussions cross the point of no return into FUBAR shitshow.

Yup GOAT.
I think Batman's overall universe is more iconic.
There are a few side characters in Spider-Man that are known by the average fan.

SpiderMan and Batman seem head and shoulders above the rest. Iron Man in terms of box office gross can make a claim but I am going to be very interested to see how and what Marvel does with him in the inevitable post-RDJ world.

Disney has extracted his DNA and already begun the cloning process. There will never be a post-RDJ world.

Cause why not
I saw Jean Grey at the top of the page and had to try to rectify things.

Funny enough she recently WAS Carnage in the USM cartoon. But that's a great Photoshop. I'd be quite happy if she ended up looking like that.

Um, yes. She's hot, she's not an atypical white red head. Progress? I believe so.
