The Marvel Family (the "good" ones) have a very clear appeal (one that sold millions in the 40s/50s) - old fashioned wish fulfillment. Ordinary kids next door types (to the point where Mary Marvel was originally modeled after young Judy Garland) are granted literally god-like powers (and age to adult when they do so) which enables them to defeat aliens, evil scientists and Nazis.

The Black Adam Family was supposed to be the flip-side. But because people at DC (aka Geoff Johns and Dan Didio) love Black Adam and love blood/gore and darkness, Black Adam has suddenly become the main Marvel and Billy, Mary, Freddy have faded - which dilutes the whole premise of the franchise's mythos in the first place.
