Last new, original characters to be successful at Marvel or DC?

[Formerly Black Trash]

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.

I have no issues with legacy characters
They a staple at DC and I love everyone from the Young Justice era.
Tim Drake, Kon-El, Bart Allen, Wonder Girl, and Arrowette

I didn't like how they merged in Miles from the Ultimate Univsrse, and actually didn't explain his history in the new universe and how he met Spider-Man
Plus he was boring to me, Into the Spider-Verse was the only time I liked him

Plus his comics have been mid

Yeah
I think there's merit to the characters that they want to push, they will
I wonder Nate Grey could carry a title today?

Not the way he did in the late 90s as the top 5 book in sales but its the company's fault for him not being around while they kept pushing X 23 and all of that.

The Hood may have been the last 100% (97ish) new character...definitely the last new villain. Wait, for Marvel there's that Star-lady and Avengers Academy. They were dope...Finesse, Reptil, Stryker had staying power potential.

If they're not gonna make new original characters they can at least dig into the obscure vaults.

Reptil was dumb, like a lame Beast Boy
And I'm sure there's a way you can make him not dumb, but the writer didn't do it

I can't think of any
this is probably because the marvel heroes have always been created under stress and the need to work or else they run out of business
new marvel doesn't have to ever worry which should actually work to their betterment because they can just churn out heroes left and right but they don't
as for DC I think they try more than marvel but they need someone else than 40 year old white men making these characters
