Does anyone know why Lady Shiva has grown relatively popular and gained the title of best martial artist while her two companions have disappeared? Weren't the three basically the answer to Marvel's Defenders?

well for Richard Dragon I'd imagine as the fall of the chosen one/white savior comes into x eastern culture and becomes the best martial artists trope fell out of favor, he fell out of favor too. As for Bronze Tiger, he wasn't presented as formidably as Shiva or Dragon; not that he wasn't their contemporary, he just never quite held the same prominence as the other two. He does pop up here and there but he's usually relegated to the b-roles, why Tom King is the only person who seems willing to have Bronze Tiger pop up nowadays is beyond me.
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."

I never realized how many of DC black superheroes have their mantel from someone else.
