    Default Favourite Marvel Characters in A-List, B-List, C-List and D-List

    In the comic book world where anyone are A-List, B-List, C-List, D-List and even Z-List, now I have to list down my favourite characters who are categorized on different list status.
    Note: If you see the + and - symbols like B-List (-) or C-List (+), it means that the character’s importance status or popularity has risen or decreased depending on the writer’s focus on the character.

    A-List would be any character is the most familiar and recognized to anyone, appears in any merchandise (tv show, movies, video games, cards, action figures and so on). Also, the A-List character has the highest chance of coming back from the dead. A-List characters appear in too many comic book titles, they are loved by writers and sometimes divisive with true fans.
    B-List is when the character is somewhat familiar to casual fans thanks to their occasional appearances in different titles and popularity depending on the decade. B-Listers can be brought back from the dead in comic book death depending on whether the writer feels like it. They have their own solo series whenever the writer is interested and it's always off-and-on. Also, B-Listers have occasional appearances in trading cards, collectible figurines, cartoons and video games. They are only remembered by casual fans thanks to the movies, cartoons, video games and internet.
    C-List would be the almost forgotten characters who have a niche fanbase. They show up few times in different comic titles (more likely in team books, mini-series and guest appearance) and has his/her own solo or mini-series which few people remember. Outside of comics, C-Listers sometimes show up as cameos or minor roles in cartoons, video games and movies. They are more likely to die/jobbed in early or middle parts of the story in big comic events that they are seldom brought back from the dead in comic book death and you can only pray for the writer who is interested in the character.
    D-List would be the characters which very few people recognize as they appear few times in different comics. Because they do not appear in any merchandise (except for a few times in trading cards or blink-and-miss cameos in cartoons/movies), no one remembers the character outside the comics and very few writers use the character in comics. D-Listers are more likely to die early in the story during comic events that they have a lesser chance to be brought back from the dead in comic book death.
    And lastly, Z-List are the saddest bunch of characters who are the most forgotten of all. They appear once or twice in comic titles and they are largely forgotten whenever they die.
