LoveWaffle seems to have the right idea.

I also think the alternates (including movies and other media) should be on a separate page (In fact, I wonder why we separate movie and TV characters from the rest of the alternate reality characters, because technically they're just alternate realities)

I think breaking it up into two pages where a character has a heavy amount of alternate reality counterparts.

For example, looking up Captain America should only bring up everyone on Earth-616 who has operated as Captain America. Then a link to an alternate universe page.

There we can break down the list of alternates by reality number and by different characters again (For example the alternate reality page for Captain America would list all the alternate Steve Rogers, James Barnes, Jeff Mace etc. That operated as Captain America in said reality)

If there is a substantial number of alternate reality characters then I think they should all go to another page to be indexed instead of a "top seven" because people are going to quibble over which ones are "more popular" or "more well known" and that list is going to constantly change, lead to edit wars etc etc. So putting them all on a separate page and by order of reality number would be a better idea.

And I'd also say that separating movies and TV shows in a separate heading seems kind of redundant, anyone looking at the image can tell if it's from a movie, TV show or comic, and Marvel considers them all alternate realities, so why not lump them together?

As for Video games... I really think profiles for video games are rather pointless unless it's all consolidated into one article about the game (I mean character profiles for video game characters are rather pointless if you ask me) ... But if people insist on adding them, those could be under a separate header since most of them do not have alternate universe designations.
