Also, I'm guessing Spider-Man will see the most benefit in the long run with his reboot from Sony's ASM.
I don't doubt he will benefit, but I wouldn't have him on a list of people who benefited the most. Spider-Man was already popular with people in general, whereas characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy or Black Panther or even Doctor Strange weren't popular with people in general before they were in Marvel films.

Agreed on that point about Spider-Man, Surtur. Again, as you and about everyone else have pointed out, it's been quite the feat that Marvel Studios has been able to take unheard of characters and make them household names. Captain America is up there, but making Iron Man up there with Spidey in terms of popularity/being Marvel's poster boy as well as finding massive success with talking trees and raccoons and BP and Dr. Strange is world-building and branding at its finest.
