>>104117838>No one remembers Alan ScottBecause he was a second-tier character during the Golden Age, and then superhero comics died. When they were revived, they replaced Alan Scott with Hal Jordan, so he became the definitive GL. Meanwhile, people know John Stewart, some even like him more than Hal, but he's not considered the main GL.
>No one remembers the 1st Mister TerrificBecause he was an obscure-tier character during the Golden Age. In the 90s when DC wanted to create minority heroes but neither had the creativity to make good original ones, nor wanted to change any iconic characters, they raceswapped several literal whos including Mr. Terrific. Since there aren't many black characters in DCU, the new Mr. Terrific became marginally popular.
>No one remembers Mar-vellNice meme. However, no one remembers Monica Rambeau either. In fact, she's so forgotten, even the "progressive" comics media thought Carol was the first female Captain Marvel.
