No contest. Sportsmaster, Klarion, Blockbuster, Bane.... These are relatively unknown characters to non comic fans, done well. But Avengers gives you Loki, Ultron, Kang, Doom, Enchantress, Zemo. The greatest hits of Avengers big bads with no end in sight. I know that we've seen Lex Luthor and other more notable villains on Young justice, but not nearly as much as the other characters.
I'm not watching either show, but other than Doom and Loki I seriously doubt most non-comic fans have heard of those Marvel villains either.

Thinking about it more I doubt non comic fans no many major comic book villains aside from Luthor or Joker.
Still the ones I listed are much better than Sportsmaster or bane.

I think people might know who Bane is due to the movie, but I've been reading comics for over 40 years and have no idea who Sportsmaster is.

He's Casey Jones' evil brother.

Bane started off as a good character until those cartoons and that 90's movie ruined him. Hopefully the current movie will at least make Bane a serious contender like he was in Knightfall.

Bane would've become a better character in the Marvel U IMO

I believe he's called Crossbones there and is a militant redneck

Why the hell are people here not talking about Korra?
4 episodes and no thread or whatever!

IF they adapted Bagley's art style, gave it the same production values as YJ AND adapted the original stories (with modern twists as they are 20 something years old now)...
SOLD!!!!!

The #1 reason why YJ isn't better than the Avengers is simple. Avengers has this:

YJ does not.
