I'm sure someone would appreciate them. Instead of trashing them maybe a local Goodwill or hospital or comic shop?

I should do that. Even my kids couldn't get into it. They would rather read Avatar, TMNT and Teen Titans Go.

Jessica Jones, created in 2001, seems like she would automatically get a nice spot on this list thanks to the highly rated TV show that other characters haven't had the fortune of. Although I wonder how much of the Netflix series actually translate to the general public; the nerd community, even non comic book folk, seems to love them - but it's not exactly selling toys or leaving Alias comics front and center in Barnes and Noble or whatever right?

Jessica Jones will get more exposure when they release her Netflix series, and Daisy Johnson is on Agents of SHIELD, though they're relatively minor characters.

Rhodes was around for long before, and was Iron Man for a stint, but I think War Machine makes the cutoff.

And Big Hero Six, though most wouldn't recognize the comic incarnation. Do the Incredibles count?
I can't remember if someone said Agent Coulson, who was a character introduced in the comics as a result of the movies.

Even a character like Squirrel Girl barely makes the cut, having first appeared in 1992, and she doesn't really have mainstream exposure. Someone like the new Ms. Marvel, gaining in popularity, is still a derivative, as is Spider-Gwen, X-23 and the like.
