I think the best way to develop new heroes and a fan base for them is to have them debut in an established characters series and let them grow from it into their own series. Let them gain popularity through an already popular character. It's attempting the impossible by just trying to create a new character and throwing them out there.
Hastily changing the persona of existing characters seems forced and disingenuous sometimes. I don't have a problem with new personas taking over someone's mantle, but it has to feel like a natural change or passing of the baton. Miles Morales Spider-Man and Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle are good examples. Even if Peter and Ted are back now.
Blindspot in Daredevil has been a pretty dope character. It's probably too early to give him his own series, but he would be one of my first candidates to have one. He's a new character that isn't borrowing someone else's persona and a minority. I'm hoping Duke Thomas and Ryan Choi can become crucial in their own right from DC's Rebirth eventually too.
