NPR Revives a Forgotten Superhero

…Did they make clear that Doorman is supposed to be kind of a stupid character, like the rest of the Great Lakes Avengers? That’s the entire point of those characters - they’re deliberate self-parodies by Marvel. Even if Squirrel Girl somehow became unironically popular. (And, BTW, that’s another example of “preserve every character just in case” - even the silliest characters can unexpectedly resonate with fans, especially in the hands of a talented creative team).

(And it’s not “DoorMan”, it’s Doorman. He’s not a Man with the powers of a Door…well, he kind of is, actually. He opens “doors” - that is, he rips the very fabric of the universe to create interdimensional portals, which allows his teammates to instantaneously travel anywhere in the world, and beyond).
