As far as the gripes I've read on many toysites about her not being a 'true' Marvel hero...meh, Marvel initially started out as a conglomerate of magazines and characters under a larger umbrella known as Timely Publications (later Atlas Comics? or something...it's pretty messy). Eventually, original properties (Submariner, Human Torch, Cap, Whizzer, etc) got rolled up into what we now understand as Marvel 'proper'. D.C.'s origins weren't much different absorbing properties like Captain Marvel (Shazam) into their own pantheon eventually creating a larger universe. (edit: I should be more clear here, D.C. didn't acquire Captain Marvel until very late in the game...the 70's)

If fans don't like Angela as a character, then so be it. It's your prerogative to like whomever you like...But, if fans don't like Angela based on some purist stance that she violates guiding principles dictating that heroes don't cross company lines...well, I'd say pump the brakes and review the history. This stuff happened often "back in the day"...this is not a dig, nor am I trying to start an argument. I just find some of the Angela hate, or more appropriately, the reasoning behind it, somewhat perplexing. Go Angela!...although, Hasbro better make a new sculpt for her! No retool/reuse bullshit.

I'll accept Angela as a Marvel character when I accept Miss Marvel stealing the name of Captain Marvel from the DC character, which means never.
