Earl seems pretty popular. But I see your point about Wu being more tightly-knit. Although I also suspect that the collective nature of the Wu was mostly for marketing the individuals. They didn't have youtube or twitter to get famous so they needed to build a bigger, more universally interesting narrative. But really, I think most of them were always mostly interested in their own careers than in their success as a group. They each knew they had to make their group a legend to get attention. OF only needed the internet.
