Before the MCU, people (the "mainstream" to sound hipster) knew Spider-Man, Hulk, and some X-Men (Wolverine, Cyclops, Magneto, Prof. X, in particular). Before the movies, Cap was known by some people, but not on the level of the Justice League. Iron Man was known by even fewer people. He was known more as a villain than a hero (thank Civil War for that) by most people regardless. Up until the movies, DC Was far more known than the general public, and for a lot of people probably still is. Batman, Superman, WW, Flash, Aquaman, and GL are/were all bigger names than the vat majority of Marvel.
