So, singling out "X-Men" seems a bit of a moot point. But the word "X-Men" is definitely more famous and more popular than any non-X-Men Marvel character, regardless of whether or not you know all the individual X-Men characters.

Good point.
X-Men and the Avengers are sort of like a Britney/Christina or Backstreet Boys/Nsync type comparison. Both are very popular in their own right, and both have their strengths and weaknesses. Example, everyone and their dog knows Iron Man, yet the Avengers defiantly has a more family friendly image than the X Men franchise, which is both a pro and a con.
