Yeah, most don't. That's why these characters are B-league. It's not that they're not powerful, as much as they are not in the limelight and are under appreciated.
Like Puck for instance.
How many threads are brought up about the most agile characters in comics and he doesn't even get a mention, but in actuality, he's probably one of the most agile and acrobatic characters in all comicdom.
He just also happens to be a hairy, pudgy, Canadian midget on a B-league superhero team.

And the fact they're just a Canadian knockoff of the Avengers with a midget.
No they are not a knockoff of the Avengers, have you even read Alpha Flight? Volume.1 was ground breaking...
"Though reluctant to take the job, Byrne wrote and drew the series for 29 issues before handing it off to another creative team. During that time, the series attracted fans with storylines that dealt with one or two characters at a time, seldom bringing all the members together. This unusual approach contrasted with other Marvel team series like the X-Men, the Avengers, or the Fantastic Four."
The story with Northstar being gay was the first mainstream superhero who admited they were. They had character and substance, they were more than just a Canadian team since they even went against Canada multiple times. Hell, they were even put on trail for not putting Canada as their first priority.

They deserve way more respect then they get.
I've read Alpha Flight comics, and I truly respect their abilities, but it still doesn't change the fact that they aren't a household name, which means they're B-league.
If Alpha Flight were a movie release, they would be equivalent to a straight to VHS or DVD movie, like "A Land Before Time 16: Little Foot goes through Puberty".
The Avengers or Justice League would be a feature film premeiring at the Chinese Theatre with Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry (barring another hit & run case) on the red carpet.
In black G-Strings.
Alpha Flight isn't popular, no matter how groundbreaking the Northstar storyline was.
Hell, the Authority is far more powerful than the X-Men, but which team is a household name, and which team is viewed by some as just a B-league novelty group with overly homosexual subject matter.
Oh I get what you mean, I thought you were implying the overall characters are B-level like they wern't good or didn't have substance. When people mention a character is a certain "class" I assume they are addressing how good they are overall. If your talking about they are B-list due to their popularity then I completly agree, hence why I created the respect thread to true to give them some.
