The reason I said Barbara Gordon and not Batgirl though was because she's been Barbara Gordon but NOT Batgirl in several things--Birds of Prey (where she was Oracle), Batman Beyond (where she was Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon) and at least a few of the animated movies that were set before she became Batgirl.

How about Storm? She was a very central figure in X-Men comics throughout the 90s, wasn't she team leader then for a bit? and the X-Men were at their peak of popularity at that point.
She's also been a team member since the 70s, and has been in 3 or 4 animated X-Men series (off the top of my head, the 90s Animated Series, X-Men Evolution, Wolverine and the X-Men and the X-Men anime series), and a prominent character in the first three films. I'd say she's up there with Wonder Woman on recognition, especially with her striking design. Also potentially Lois Lane, Lois had her own comic series for a bit, didn't she? as well as multiple Superman movies and the 90s TV show. |

Red Sonja has had a fairly successful run....she's been slashing bad guys since
the 1970s for several publishing companies, as well as getting several prose novels, a TV appearance (in 1997's "Conan" TV show) and a (terrible) Hollywood film. |

If we accept the premise that the comic character doesn't have to be the protagonist (which I guess we already covered with Barbara Gordon), then there's also Mary Jane Watson. Some version of her has been in every Spider-Man project, in every medium, as far as I can recall every single time. So her "profile" in number of outlets (if not screentime or top billing) is pretty much identical to Spider-Man's.
EDIT - Wait. I forgot. She was deliberately excised from the last Spider-Man movie reboot in favor of Gwen Stacy (who's in a lot of Spidey versions in some form but not as many as Mary Jane). |

She's also been around a few decades more than MJ. Also, Buck Rogers last appeared in a comic two years ago (the Howard Chaykin one), along with his GF Wilma Deering. Miss Deering has been appearing in comic strips and comic books since 1929!

It's entirely subjective, but the unlikely answer could well be Harley Quinn currently; her comic is the best selling female led one and she presumably is a major part of the Suicide Squad movie.

How about "Blondie"? She and Dagwood have been appearing in comic strips for an
incredible 86 years, plus she's appeared in comic books from the 1940s on. She also has had several films, TV shows and radio series about her. |
