It would probably boost sales and make people appreciate them more. Titles like "Avengers" or "X-Men" will always be popular because people know what to expect. But people are always supiscious of new titles because they don't know if the character will be interesting or boring.

That's why they need to have special traits that will change how people look at comics. People like Spider-Man (first Teen-Aged super hero), Black Panther (first African super hero), and others totally revolutionized comics. What I'm saying is that new characters should be doing the same. The old characters will always life in our hearts, but the new characters need a time to shine. I disagree on you on several fronts. Whether or not you give gimmicky traits to new heroes, they rarely stick (i.e. the various generations of X-kids, Avengers Academy). While creating new characters is important, it is also important that old characters are constantly revitalized and considered from different angles so they do not lapse into repetitive monotony. After all, if popular characters always stayed the same we'd still be reading about Jay Garrick, Jim Hammond, and others of that age.
