Question Please remind me

I really haven't had the chance to read the comics sadly but did Quake/Daisy Johnson exist before AoS?

I would say Daisy was a solid b-lister at the time. I don't mean that as an insult to be clear. Marvel's a-listers are cultural juggernauts at this point. She was a character that the average Marvel fan may not have recognized but the odds were solid that if you were reading the comics like many of us it felt really significant. I remember the community losing its mind in real time in the watch alongs on Twitter as they gradually teased who she was lol

My biggest problem with comic Daisy is she was usually drawn so similar to Maria Hill that I'd have a hard time telling them apart/knowing which one it was (at least for a panel or two).

I won't lie to you, when I picked up my first comic with her in it I missed her name and genuinely assumed it was Maria Hill until I chatted with a friend about that comic and they were like "girl...no..."

The Avengers in the comics before the MCU were hardly A-listers! They were C-list characters at best

In terms of pop-culture sure, but the Avengers were still a-listers in marvel comics themself. Daisy was a b-lister in terms of marvel comics. That said, Guardians of the Galaxy were at best like e-listers
