X-23 and Kyle Rayner are legacy
Harleys the only one to hold a long running title who fits the conditions of being original

Takes cues from Spider-Mans costume design
I consider her legacy
If you said like Jessica Drew I'd give her a pass (she's not popping tho)

Multiple runsI feel like it’s stretch but it’s your thread
what do you consider a long run?
90s - 100 issues or more in a run
2010 era - about 50 issues or more

I feel like some characters they're going to push regardless
But I don't know the numbers
I just don't see Ms.Marvel or Miles being without a series unless their sales are really abysmal
Booster Gold had a comic running 47 issues in 2000 and something
You can't tell me he's more popular than Static
I feel like Geoff Johns wanted to push him at the time

I don't think it's a hard sell to create new and original characters, that will ultimately be successful. I don't think the suits want to put the resources and dollars behind it though, to the point they're rarely creating new characters at all...heroes or villains. It's easy to throw an established brand on a "new" character, and push them to the point you think they're successful. They've also had more "legacy' characters that failed than new characters. But also, the creators tend to want to save their new characters for their own imprints.
And Duke Thomas would probably be the last for DC. He's not really legacy.

Eh
He wouldn't exist without Batman

He's just a sidekick with a different name
I like the premise of thread. I never counted Legacy characters either, not because i didn't like the characters. Miles Morales is cool and all but, he still fights the same villians. They never build up their own rogues gallery. Whats the point of a new spiderman if he still fighting Rhino and shyt? New Cap, still fighting Zemo and Batroc thats just recasting.
But i think that is the reason most of these new original characters aren't popping like that. You're only as good as your villain's. Can't just create one great new character, gotta create like 6 or 7 to really get someone new popping in their own series.
