1st appearance was in their own self-named title?

[tilleycs]

Something I've wondered lately...how many superhero characters' (or teams') first appearance was in their OWN title (that was named after them)? This eliminates a LOT of characters like Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, etc. But how many make the list? I can only think of a few off-hand:

 

Captain America

Fantastic Four

GA Flash (even though he wasn't the only character in the book)

Hulk

Luke Cage

X-Men

 

I'm sure there are more. I'd prefer to leave out a lot of the dreck from the 90's, but let me know what characters/teams you guys can think of. I'd be curious what the definitive list would be.

Daredevil.

[ShieldAgent]

The Cat (later becomes Tigra)

Claw

Omega

Black Goliath

Firestorm

Booster Gold

Skull the Slayer

Devil Dinosaur

The Eternals?

Night Nurse

Nova

I stuck to DC and Marvel,as most heroes from the Independant companies fall into this grouping. also ,I did this off the top of my head so may be off on a couple.

ya beat me to it POV............

 

if the Champions count, then why not the Avengers?? they never appeared as the avengers anywhere before (ie., JLA in B&B or defenders in marvel premier, etc.).

 

i think Phantom Lady counts, too...........

I thought that was true, but didn't have anything at work to research.

I would say Avengers counts, as would Champions. As you said some groups appear in other books and then receive their own titles. Like JLA, Teen Titans, and I think New Warriors.
