In the comics sometimes a character was kept on a backburner, or never had their own compelling set of stories. With the popularity and success of the Marvel Cinamtic universe, what character either previously unknown to films, had films with poor reception, or had mediocre comics that was given a second chance? What did the writers do to make them better?

I remember an episode of Comic Book Men from 2013 where Kevin Smith is talking to the crew of guys about how Iron Man used to just be "Ol' Shellhead", and had become the face of Marvel. This is probably the best answer: Iron Man went from a character only comic book readers knew to the face of Marvel. It goes to show how much Kevin Fiege and those at Marvel Studios know their craft.
Black Widow's titts benefited. Not sure about the rest of her.

She's really good at fighting while also striking a sexy pose every 2.5 seconds.
Plus she was given some kind of motorcycle with glowing wheels and shit. You see we know it's advanced technology because it's glowing.

Say what you want, but he WAS B (maybe C) list before his movies. No one would name him as their favorite for damn sure lol (even if they actually knew who he was). Then his first movie put him on the map and he's one of the most popular Marvel characters around now.
Cap also got a lot more respect with his movies. He was big before too, but no one truly took him seriously. He got the treatment and respect someone like him deserves, and this is what we should have gotten with Superman. Instead, we got "MARTHA". FFS
Agreed with John Murdoch on Spiderman seeing the most benefit in the future though. He's been Marvels poster boy for decades, and you better believe they'll do him justice now that he's back home. I'm expecting his movie to even surpass Spiderman 2.1 in terms of quality. Cant fking waiT!

This, pretty much. Cap and Iron Man have gotten a lot more love from fans in recent times, and a big part of that comes down to RDJ and Chris Evans, and the guys steering the MCU.
