It could be Captain Marvel. If not her then the likes of Sue Storm, one of the X-Men like Jean Grey or Storm, one of the Avengers like Black Widow or Scarlet Witch.
It could even be Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy.

Probably Black Widow right now, but Captain Marvel could become the most popular. Her movie is not out yet.

She-Hulk. And she’s cool. Captain Marvel can be cool, but I doubt the MCU one will be.

In comics it would either be Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm, Sue Storm or Scarlet Witch.

Sue Storm is the main female lead of the Marvel Universe, but Storm is probably the most popular. Which is crazy to think that’s she’s also (at least up until BP came out) the most popular black superhero in all of comics. I don’t even know who’d be number 2, I think I’ve seen 2 total spawn T-shirt’s on people after 2004. Up until BP came out, of course.

In comics it would either be Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm or Scarlet Witch. Wow. This is just my opinion, but this really shows what a piss poor job Bryan Singer did with those characters. You just know had he directed the Avengers, Cap, Thor and Hulk would have been somehow disabled in the second act so Iron Man could fight Loki's army on his own.

the most iconic are Mary Jane, Storm, Phoenix/Jean, Invisible Girl, Rogue, Mystique, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow (movie)
speaking of captain marvel she was always in the shadow of Rogue in comic lore and pop culture references and she always will be and it will only get worse for captain marvel.
this is one of the few mojo video that got it right.

As far as the comics go, does it matter? More tickets will be sold for Captain Marvel in 1 weekend then there will be comics sold in North America in an entire year.
Comics have become such a niche medium that they are almost irrelevant to anything else.

You just know had he directed the Avengers, Cap, Thor and Hulk would have been somehow disabled in the second act so Iron Man could fight Loki's army on his own. IMO, Singer and Fox seriously mishandled the X-men franchise. The X-men were arguably the most well-known Marvel characters among the general populace back in the 90's due to their successful cartoon show. People loved characters like Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, Gambit, Beast, Cyclops, etc. Kids knew who Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, Sabertooth and Omega Red were. For a lot of the non-comic reading people, that X-men cartoon was their entry into Marvel characters and they loved it. Then Fox took over and made the X-men movies. Fast forward 2 decades later and the only character that people still love is Wolverine. Maybe Magneto. Maybe Xavier. But gone is the love for characters like Storm and Cyclops. A lot of the younger generation don't even know who Gambit or Rogue is. Apocalypse was made into a joke and Mr. Sinister is completely unheard of. Fox/Singer was basically given the most popular Marvel characters of that time and they ended up making all of them unpopular save for Wolverine (and maybe Xavier and Magneto).

You articulated my point better than I did. Thank you.

I would have thought Jean Grey.
I don't know about most popular (admired, liked) but for the casual going audience, perhaps one of the most well-known is Mary-Jane Watson.
Because of the MCU, it's probably Black Widow right now. Some of us (me) never heard of her before the movies.

The most popular has to be Mary Jane. Jean Grey has pretty much one thing about her and that's Dark Phoenix. Even in the movies.

I suppose since Spidey is the most famous Marvel character, Mary Jane or Gwen Stacey would be the most famous female character?
If we're only including the heroes though, then I'd say Storm or Black Widow.

lol....bullshit. Mary Jane is not a super heroine.she is the most iconic love interest. sorry ,even sorrier you can't and dare not try to argue with the waste of space that is black widow beacuse it will be laughable. the most iconic is likely Storm, who is still the most iconic marvel black character. sorry black panther but then again that is what race baiting and superficial media hype gets you out and you bomb in the real world and loose real credibility. in the real world black panther is not even as iconic as Blade. also two characters (storm and blade) were their race was secondary, they did not need bullshit race card or disney backing them
Yes there is jean/phoenix, but there is also invisible girl then there is rogue who for some weird reason came off better in the captain marvel power absorption fiasco.hmm, maybe this is why Captain marvel was bound to suck.
but down to it is a top tier between Storm, Phoenix and invisible girl. they are the most iconic. even kitty pryde can tie for top 3. just for inspiring buffy alone.
Funny wonder why mcu fans desperately wanted X-Men/Spiderman/F4 lores to passionate be with the MCU, oh right mcu has superficial bullshit popularity more similar to the Kardashian than to American idol winners to the point of derange desperation from MCU fans. oh and one last thing, Phoenix is not about movies, it was about the story it is one of the most recognised and land mark story in comic literacy. perhaps the most iconic marvel comic story tied with the night Gwen Stacy died.
this was when marvel wrote real stories not the brainless nonsense they have now.

Yeah, the dark phoenix story that Fox completely fucked up.
