It's a trope of comic books as well as any serialized fiction that if it sells well, it will get a spinoff. In mainstream superhero comics, that's usually a teen or gender-swapped character with a similar look to the main character. That said, they can stick around if the creative team has a clever execution. Let's take a look at this piece of comic book history.
Since the earliest days of mainstream superhero comics like Captain Marvel by Fawcett Publications, superheroes that sell well will end up having spinoff characters. This episode takes a look at that history with characters spinning off from Captain Marvel, Hawkman, Batman, Superman, Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Marvel Comics' Captain Marvel. They're usually created for business reasons but the ones that stick around end up being thanks to good execution by a passionate creative team.
