See to me Harley presents more of an oddity (I apologize in advance for going off topic with this) as her popularity didn't really explode until after DC rebooted and decided to make her more prominent but now she is DC's equivalent to Deadpool. Deadpool on the other hand (at least as I remember it happening, this account could be heavily flawed) has held fascination for close to a decade now because people went bonkers over a character who knew he was in a comic book. Then, like DC would with Harley, Marvel realized this character could be extremely marketable if crammed into every book possible. So I guess the only real difference between the two from a popularity standpoint is that Deadpool saw a more gradual rise earlier in his span before his explosion while Harley Quinn was more of a cult-followed character who had to be revamped before exploding.
