Yeah, he's definitely been around, but I can't think of another consistently major Marvel character who's gone that long without their own title.
Black Panther and Ghost Rider both spring to mind as having a publication history at least as punctuated.

Also, without going too far into obscurity i.e. also film/tv properties, Howard The Duck, The Inhumans and Luke Cage/Power Man haven't exactly been in continuous publication either.
― suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 14:25 (eight years ago) link
Black Panther didn't have an ongoing title in the '80s, true, but he hasn't otherwise gone more than a few years between relaunches. Ghost Rider (as a concept, since there have been several different Ghost Riders) doesn't have more than a few gaps in publication since the '70s.

Until recently, the Inhumans only had one short-lived ongoing series that didn't even focus on the most familiar cast of Inhuman characters.
― I Pith On Your Quip (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 14:29 (eight years ago) link
Panther: 73-76, 77-79, 88, 91, 98-03, 05-08, 09-10, last weekGhost Rider: 73-83, 90-98, 2001 mini, 2005 mini, 06-10?, non-Johnny Blaze book last yearInhumans: 75-77, 98-99, 2000, 03-04, 14-15, current
In comparison Strange is in almost continuous publication until the 00s with only 3 minis outside of the latest book.
― suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 14:41 (eight years ago) link
In terms of series publication, I'd say that the Inhumans are second-tier. Despite being a near-constant presence in the Marvel U since their inception, they never had a series that lasted longer than 12 issues until the last couple of years.

Dr Strange was considered such retail poison by Marvel a few years ago that Brendan McCarthy's Dr Strange miniseries was released under the title Spider-Man: Fever

^ one of the best mini-series of recent years. to be fair, it does feature spider drugs casualty.

it'd be hilarious if they titled it that and Spider-Man only showed up in like two panels

Yeah, we got 3 out of 4 superhero trailers in front of a superhero flick. The 4th one was Rogue One

I wish they had the volume cranked for the Rogue One trailer in my theater :(

We also got Mother's Day, which seems like it's probably past its shelf life.

there's just so many other decent people it could have been. I don't like Cumberbatch either, and vastly prefer cosmic-time-and-weird-dimension-straddling Ditko and Englehart type Dr. Strange stuff so this is clearly not for me
― Οὖτις, Monday, 25 July 2016 18:01 (seven years ago) link
Also trailers out there from Comic-Con for "Wonder Woman" (which looks good), "Justice League" and "Kong: Skull Island." I'm not starting threads, though.
― a 47-year-old chainsaw artist from South Carolina (Phil D.), Monday, 25 July 2016 18:08 (seven years ago) link
Man, that "Skull Island" trailer ... it makes it look like Michael Bay's "King Kong." Kind of a bummer, amplified by yet another glaring, righteously indignant SLJ performance.

Is this the same Universe as the Netflix stuff? Which is a peripheral part of Avengers/SHIELD one of course.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 00:03 (seven years ago) link
Yes. Luke Cage talks about The Avengers NYC craziness it in the pilot.

I love that in the newest teaser trailer they namedrop Steve Ditko while showing art by Gene Colan and Dan Adkins.

Is he going to at least cameo in the Defenders? Since he was a founder member in the comics and seems to have been in every line up afterwards. Seems a bit of a coincidence that he is introduced to that universe in the run up to the group team up which will now just be the Netflix team up characters.BGeen a while since I read the origin of the team but wasn't he the forming member?
But then again looks like they have been trying to get a Dr Strange film under way for years.
Just surprising that they'd go ahead with a group name being used with none of the main members being included. I think all those that are going to be in it are more on the level of associated members in the comics.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 08:47 (seven years ago) link
I don't think there's been any direct crossover between the movies and the Netflix shows. It's just a coincidence. The Defenders is simply a convenient name plucked from
