Most successful Marvel Canon Immigrant

[Riv86672]

Everyone knows about DC’s Harley Quinn, who started out in Batman: The Animated Series, then became a comic book character and proceeded to conquer the world w. multiple ongoing titles and limited series, appearances in video games, live action TV and movie portrayals.

But who is Marvel’s success story (or stories), and how successful has he or she (they) been?

The closest I can think of in Marvel is X-23, who started off as a character in X-Men: Evolution, was quickly introduced into the X-Men comics, and has since gone on to star and feature in multiple series, ongoing and limited, as well as feature in the next X-Men animated series (Wolverine & the X-Men), become a playable character in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and finally make her movie debut in Logan, the swan song for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

X-23. She's also probably the most well-known and popular young X-Men character created after the end of the 90s.

Before that, Firestar was done on the TV show and then migrated over to comics when Busiek used her on the Avengers. (If memory serves me right.)

Yes firestar was created for the amazing friends on TV. Then she was introduced in X-Men , later joined the new warriors, Avengers and another team (I can't remember their name though), back to X-Men and then back to New warriors again!

I think X-23 is the clear winner. Firestar is probably the next best choice. I would put Phil Coulson on the list. He's been a fun addition overall.

Young Allies.

If that is the entire list, it has been a short discussion lol.

edit: I did not watch X-Men Evolutions, was X-23 as popular on that as she became in the comic?

He was only in the comics for, like, five seconds with Rescue before the AI went evil. I think a better example would be FRIDAY.

I think people like Clark Gregg's Coulson but I don't think the transition to the comics has been 100% successful.

Thanks for all the answers, guys!

Young Allies.

I don't know if this would be considered an official team,
but Firestar was also a member of Marvel Divas (while at the same time, becoming a member of Young Allies):

That is right, I did forget all of her earlier stuff like New Warriors. I simply remembered the article where Busiek promised something and it turned out to be Firestar.

And if we talk about canon immigrants within comics (characters created in an alternate universe and then transplanted to the main one), Miles Morales wins hands down. The Eternals, however, are the first who will have a live-action film; we have yet to see how successful it is. The Guardians of the Galaxy are an odd case: the first team is from an alternate future, but the second (the one the films are based on) is already in Marvel's cosmic setting and has no direct relation with the original except the name.

No, def. wasn’t asking about that.
