He barely ever appears, but everybody from Arrowverse fans to non-Arrowverse fans know his name. Not the Arrowverse version of him necessarily. The more famous one from the films and comics isn't quite the same.

And it's not about fame, it's about popularity. Still this version has grown quite popular and the name itself is miles above everything in the Arrowverse when it comes to popularity. I havent officially watched through Supergirl as a whole and I wouldnt even have heard of him if I wasnt on here. I still dont see how a guy who was mostly Easter Eggs at first can be the most popular character of all time.

Usually it's protagonists who are most popular due to the association they have with a show. If you had never watched any of the show's except Arrow, which name would you have figured out first. Daniel Brickwell or Superman?

I don't even need to see your answer to know it. You're missing the point. Just knowing about the concept of Superman in pop culture won't mean I know what the show specifically did with the character of Clark Kent.

Like everyone would have heard of Henry Cavill's Superman by now, but that doesn't mean people like him. Everyone i know that does like him doesn't understand Superman.

Well the Superman in the show was still very popular. A lot of people who never watched an Arrowverse show before just tuned in to the show for two episodes just to see Superman done right unlike the Henry Cavill Superman. Well he even so, he's still an ensemble darkhorse. The Supergirl version of him isn't iconic to the extent of any of the protagonists. In the Arrowverse fandom, maybe. But to the general populace, it is Superman. Pretty sure the Christopher Reeve version is far better known. I'm not convinced Supergirl's Superman is more known than CW's Barry Allen who these days everyone who hasnt been luving under a rock has heard of.
