DE: Those 15? They're up.
I had planned on today's DE to be how your pup trusted larger groups (sports fans, police, government, etc.) but, in writing it up, I realized I've already asked this recently enough that I remembered Ben's answer centering on the SHRA. So let's try something a little more light hearted.
Andy Warhol once famously said, "Everyone is famous for 15 minutes". Through no fault of their own, and a heavy dose of suspension of disbelief in some cases, your pup has become an internet sensation. Is it a Youtube video? Or, if that is pushing the SofD too far, how about a meme? Or have they written a mini essay that's gone viral?
Lost for ideas? Post in with your pup and we'll give ideas!

Helena... I have no clue. I strongly suspect it has something to do with someone finding out that HG Wells was actually a woman, and Helena writing about it.

Knox isn't quite so well known but he has a newspaper column, which includes his photo. I guess one of his stories could get a lot of hits during the decade or so when his paper offers Internet content for free.
Charlie is more an urban legend than a famous hero, but blurry photos of The Question and the occasional video of him have been in circulation for years.
Which leaves Gibbs, in the 18th century. No internet, or fame, for him.

The actual content is probably them complaining colourfully and animatedly about whatever's been troubling them.
Aradia makes an impressive set of haunted ruins in Minecraft.

Erik is probably caught on camera at the top of Stark Tower, after the Chitauri invasion, which someone uploads and goes viral, 'who is that man?'
Alfred, much like Bean, actively avoids fame. Possibly, he'd get it for an obituary he wrote for Thomas Wayne. Otherwise, he, just maybe, would be persuaded to do an AMA on the fact that he was Batman's batman, post TDKR.
Jack and Max are less active in their avoidance of fame, but they aren't keen on being traced, so internet use isn't particularly prevalent. However, Jack's would probably be a video of him doing something 'impossible', like climbing over a near smooth wall, or something similar.
Max's would probably be a short essay on duality, or something similar.

Lady Mary would make a cutting remark about someone at a party (let's be real, it'd be a cutting remark about Edith), which was inadvertently captured on someone's iPhone and uploaded. Battle lines are drawn between Team Mary and Team Edith. Some people think Mary's hilarious, some think she's a bitch.
Stiles... hahaha. So Dylan O'Brien actually had his own YouTube channel before getting the job on Teen Wolf. His most well-known video features him wearing his sister's shirt and lip synching to the Spice Girls. So yeah, probably something stupid like that. Scott is probably involved, whether he wants to be or not. Actually, the video quite possibly involves Stiles roping Scott into stupid werewolf tricks.

Ben's 15 millions hits of infamy is from a video of a prank the Yancy Street Gang took of him. This is canon thanks to Matt Fraction. I think it was a bag of flaming poo with super glue which stuck to Ben's foot.
Hank McCoy's (using a heavy dose of handwaving disbelief) is likely a chemical experiment gone wrong when Raven distracted him at a crucial moment. It's nothing dangerous but it is spectral; like the menthos/diet coke. Not handwaving disbelief, I would say the are some amateur Super8 film of him. It is very blue, blurry, and jumpy; and has started a myth of an urban Sasquatch.
Jessica Drew's is likely from a long night of karaoke, when she managed to Rick Roll Carol (or some other hero if Carol-mun doesn't like the idea).
The internet is long gone in Andrea's canon but if it still existed, her claim of infamy would be her in a bikini, holding another gal's head under the water of a hot tub screaming, "Who's digging for clams now?!?" while Raphael laughs his ass off in the back ground. This is canon and I will get there.

Not that Dr Selvig wouldn't, necessarily, but, I have another who feels a more likely prankster.

Oh, yeah, sorry. :-)

Everybody in Ooo knows who the Ice King is. Unless he shaves his beard--then he's practically unrecognizable.
Lydia: I can see her doing a video series of some kind, part diary to document her studies, part advice column, and getting internet-famous for that.
Merlin: you know, in that long wait that he has until the return of Arthur, I can easily imagine him using his magic to help people in disasters, and he'd be filmed more and more often as time goes on until he practically becomes an urban legend. Like, if you're in trouble, a bearded old man with golden eyes will come to help you...ooo. I smell plot. Hm.
Bilbo! Can't believe I almost forgot him. He's more notorious than famous in the Shire after his adventures. Ringbearer is a pretty hefty piece of fame to carry around, too.

Dix has her regional fame.
Jules has been in the paper more than once over the Yin and Yang cases.
Pinkie's all have to do with saving Equestria from doom.
