Not sure if it got mentioned and maybe not all that significant, but Captain Savage spun out of the pages of Sgt. Fury and got his own title. I personally love the Leatherneck Raiders sobriquet.  -M |

A lot of these don't seem very significant.

A lot of these don't seem very significant. Perhaps not, in the grand scheme of things.  |

Sister Power, the Freak, first showed up in Brother Power, the Geek #3 before her brief run as the back-up in Captain Action. And, of course, Zeelk!, the inter-dimensional meerkat, spun out of those pages. How could I forget? Especially when Zeelk used her multi-dimensional powers try to arrange a wedding between the Geek and the Freak. |

Especially when Zeelk used her multi-dimensional powers try to arrange a wedding between the Geek and the Freak. That double-sized wedding issue with the tear-away bridal garter centerfold must have been the highlight of 1972. Too bad they found out they were cousins at the end  |

So many great ones already posted! There's The Hangman, of course. I don't think I've mentioned him before. He first appears in a feature that starred another superhero. . .his brother, in fact. . .who ( significantly) dies!  |

Not American comics, but the Smurfs! Originally introduced as side characters in "Johan et Pirlouit", they have far eclipsed their original title in popularity and pop cultural impact.

Popeye was a supporting character in Thimble Theatre who later took over the strip and became the star. Don't know if that's technically a spin-off, thopugh.

I can remember seeing it as "Thimble Theatre, featuring Popeye" when I was a kid. |
