OK, I'll play as best I can.

1) Harley Quinn

2) Honestly, I'm stumped with this one (for coming up with something that hasn't been mentioned yet).

3) Hawkeye's costume in the comics was altered once The Avengers movie hit the big screen. Now, Hawkeye changed his costume way back in Avengers #98 (volume 1) when he abandoned his Goliath persona, but still...

Robbie, you might be interested to know that there's a =Jackie= McGee following stories of the Hulk around the country in that title. Wish granted!

There's something that's just funny about seeing Nuclear Man lovingly rendered in the style of a 2018 comic book.

Thanks, Andrew. Is this a current Hulk title?

Has there ever been a character who was a BAD character who was brought into the comics and became a popular character? Harley Quinn was obviously a hit before she ever appeared in the comics. I wasn't alive in 1941, so I'm not sure about Jimmy Olsen but I would assume that he was reasonably popular. 

Nothing comes to mind.

Before checking the other responses... I cannot think of many characters that came from other media into the comics. Jimmy Olsen. Inspector Henderson. Firestar. Harley Quinn. Harvey Bullock (maybe.) Morph. Batgirl (kinda.)

Undoubtedly I've missed some, but I can't think of too many more. And Morph was only intended to be a one shot, at that.

I do like the Fortress of Solitude idea, which came from the pulps to the comics.

I like the change in Mr. Freeze, from Otto Preminger chewing up sets to a victim villain.

I must be missing a lot, and I'll go back and read the others... but I just don't know of all that many.

I really enjoyed Firestar in New Warriors and Avengers. I know Harley Quinn is popular, but I can't think of any comics I've read that include her.

I can't think of any other examples that I really care so much about.

Steven, I strongly recommend finding and sitting down with a copy of Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's "Mad Love" at the earliest opportunity.

Eric, Morph may have debuted in the X-Men animated show, but he's clearly based on the Changeling from the Thomas/Adams era.
