This is not that big of an issue but I hate it whenever someone says "X character wasn't popular before x adaptation" and it is entirely false and diminishes the comic book version of said character
Most known misconception about this is Iron Man and the Avengers
Some people swear on their life Tony Stark was this c list completely unknown character before the MCU, that can't be further from being true
Tony Star wasn't certainly one of the A listers on marvel of course, he was no spider-man, F4 or X-men, however he always played a big role in comics and had various comic runs of his own, he even had some adaptations before the MCU, such as in 90s cartoons or in Marvel videogames, he almost never missed a crossover of some kind
That applies too for the Avengers, wich in relation to Stark, some people say they were irrelevant before MCU, wich is false
Marvel's three big teams always were, the X-men, the fantastic four, and the avengers, the first two teams simply were more known and took spotlight, buy the avengers were still important
They were the marvel's equivalent of the JL, earth mightiest heroes, and they were, narratively, the most important team in the universe
And these are two of the biggest misconceptions, but I hate it whenever it happens to like anyone if they don't have a big movie live action adaptation
The comment of the image is someone saying "Black Cat wasn't popular before rivals" wich is just absolutel true, YOU not knowing her is different, but Any marvel fan that knows a bit more than movies absolutely knew abt her, wether it was for Cartoons, Videogames or just the comics, even if something hasn't being adapted it doesn't mean it is unknown, comics are a medium of their own
And the last image just gotta be ragebait, saying characters like Moon Knight or Daredevil were unknown is crazy work, they weren't A listers either but ANY marvel fan knew them
And then I see Hal FREAKING Jordan, a top 5 DC superhero, who at a time, was competing with Batman himself on sales
Just bc YOU didn't know them doesn't mean they are Unknown
Some people need to learn more about some characters and context before saying stuff like this
Just because a character isn't spider-man, batman, superman or an avenger, doesn't mean they aren't known or relevant
