Terry however was in a popular cartoon, and made a few appearances in two other popular cartoons (Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock). Plus, Batman Beyond has been airing daily on the Hub, making him even more accessible to a whole new generation of fans.
THEN factor in the fact that Batman Beyond recently got it's own mainstream comic.

So, Miguel really has absolutely no outlet to reach people who didn't read his comic back in the day.
And I think it's that simple, why Terry is so much better known, and so much more popular. Hell, in this day and age, not a lot of people even know there was a Marvel 2099.

This is the damn truth. I passed on the 2099 series back in the day because I was all about the X-men and Batman with little interest in anything else as a kid. I blame 90's cartoons. That's what got me into comics.

I did like Spiderman, and now that I think of it I think the reason why I passed on Spiderman 2099 in the comic store was because I thought it was the same thing as the terrible "Spiderman Unlimited" cartoon that came on in the late 90's. I had no idea it was anything different as a kid.
