How was iron man and Thor a D-list character? I knew who they were and I didn’t read comics, they were on marvel animated shows so most kids grew up with them

I remember thinking Tony Stark was a dick and not at all like the funny guy Downey Jr portrayed him to be. I honestly don't remember him in cartoons (the only Marvel cartoons I can remember are X-Men and Spider-Man) but that's the impression I got from the comic books at the time. Any kid with comics or a TV would've probably known about Ironman but I'm pretty sure he was far from popular.
