Deathlok was actually #15 on the Marvel Age '08 Survey.

He received 15% Ballot Representation, 333 Power Points, and 12 First Place votes.

I haven't read the book yet, but for the most part it looks like he (Deathlok) was pretty much a self-contained storyline (I'm trying to justify how Marvel did this and still keep with my not getting too far ahead of the ASM, FF Avengers theory).
