No, the creator themselves don't have to be famous. In the OP itself, and idea for Stephen Hillenburg and Spongebob was given. Nobody knows that Stephen Hillenburg created spongebob.

and if it's a royale, popularity/obscurity doesn't always matter. Take Gorbachev (although that might just be me), he wasn't that well known outside of Russia. Popularity doesn't always mean they'd use that person, it just means that it's more likely, and the connection fits better with Malcolm and Superman anyway.

Also, Abraham Lincoln was used twice, a second time as third party. Why wouldn't they use Superman as a first party back-up?
