I think part of the problem is that they're picking covers which work as standalone pinups which really showcase the character in question. That's much more common in modern comics, while older comics lean much more towards story-based covers.

A guest-star type of story, and Gamora was not in it, so it wasn't perfect. But they had a story nontheless. And that's my point: if the characters are introduced within a story, I'm okay with never hearing about them before. My issue wasn't that they shouldn't have introduced those three, it's that Squirrel Girl isn't the most obscure character in the game. Squirrelgirl and Devil Dinosaur are probably the most obscure characters in the game (barring maybe Bagman, I had to look up what set of comics that specific cover was from, but who doesn't know Spider-Man?). The Hood is probably a close third. Irony of all irony is that if the GotG movie hadn't been such a fluke boxoffice hit, I'd argue they'd be more obscure than The Hood. That being said, the only character in MPQ I didn't know before MPQ so far has been Sentry. I had never heard of him before, but he's actually a pretty interesting character. The only other one remotely unknown to me was Luke Cage, but I had heard of him and knew a little about him.

I could've sworn that wasn't there before? Edit: NVM, think they just reworded it maybe from what it went live with, could've sworn it wasn't written as a passive too.
