Some of Marvel's most recent creations such as Deadpool, Gambit, Cable, Domino, War Machine, Jessica Jones, The Runaways, X-23, Daisy Johnson, Winter Soldier, Maria Hill, the modern Guardians of the Galaxy and Defenders, and Ms. Marvel have become popular characters in their own right. Unlike the DC Universe, few of Marvel's 1940s characters have become major characters in modern publications; Captain America is one exception, and to a lesser extent his contemporary, Namor the Sub-Mariner, primarily because both of these characters were reintroduced to readers and to the Marvel Universe during the 1960s.[citation needed]
