I'll grant you that most nobody ever knew/cared about Guardians, but Iron Man and Green Arrow were at least HUGELY popular among comics fans. What makes them different from Vixen is that, in her case, even most comics fans have very little idea who she is.
I know, "If they don't try to elevate a character we'll never know if they can," but it doesn't deter my original point that when you pick a character that even the hardcores have to look up, it's a questionable choice on at least some level.
It's like getting a "practical" gift for Christmas. "Hey, this is neat. I mean, I like it. I can use it. But I definitely didn't ask for it, and I probably never would have... but yeah, it's not bad or anything, thanks." It's just never going to mean as much or be received as well as something you actively wanted/asked for/pursued/etc.
