This.
Everyone has seen what Disney/Marvel gives creators in compensation when a character created by them hits the big or small screen. Not a dime.
Any freelancer who created a original character for Marvel now is asking to get his or her pocket picked.
Nobody is gonna sign up for that...so all we get now are new Spider Mans, New Daredevils, New Darkhawks, or new Speedballs, or new Sleepwalkers.
As far as getting wholly original characters like we got in the 90's ( the era of Darkhawk and the rest)?...Never Again.
Only way that happens is if Marvel somehow gets thier hands on some really talented 19 year old who doesn't know any better and exploits the daylights out of him or her.
Which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Her first appearance was amazing fantasy 15. Don't think that came out in the 90s.That series was published in the 90s though and she took up the mantle of Bluebird months after her first appearance.

I think Lana Lang's time as Insect Queen counts. Lana Lang gets a ring from an alien (aliens used to crash land in Smallville all the time) that she helped out that can give her the abilities of a Human Sized version of any insect on Earth.
She never had a solo strip to my knowledge, but she would show up as a Legion of Superheroes reservist occasionally.
There's also a somewhat revamped Bronze Age version of Insect Queen that I know even less about. I just recall the character existing, lol.
The trend of making the girlfriend a superhero predates Silver Age comics. That trend goes all the way back to Golden Age comics.
