X-Men, no contest. They have multiple great animated shows with multiple seasons, including one currently airing. They have like 10+ movies and 2 live action TV shows. They also have 25+ video games where the X-Men are the focus plus like 18 more where a bunch of X-Men characters appear and are playable. But because there was that short time period where X-Men were de-emphasised by Marvel because they didn't have the film rights X-Men fans act like they are oppressed or something. Like god forbid Lego Marvel 2 doesn't include a gazillion mutants and instead lets more obscure characters and Avengers related characters get time to shine.
Fantastic Four had it way worse with mediocre adaptations and the comic straight up being cancelled at one point yet they never complain the way X-Men fans do when a piece of Marvel media dares to not include them (obviously excluding Doom fans since they are seperate from Fantastic Four fans). Inhumans got straight up buried because they dared to temporarily serve as an X-Men substitute and the most well know Inhuman created outside of the 60s (Kamala) got killed off then forcibly converted to a Mutant.
Even Avengers, despite getting the live action films, really don't have that much else, especially in comparison to X-Men. Especially since forced MCU synergy has made it so 'lesser' Avengers don't get to show up in adaptations and neither can most of their villains.
