Sure. Enduring means that the character has not gone out of style. That is to say that the public still likes him. Commercially successful means that sales of things with that character have remained high.

Enduring means lasting for a long time. This superhero has been around since 1962 so has has endured over forty years. Commercial means having to do with a business as compared to private. A commercially successful superhero is one who has sold a lot of comics or made money in a movie or sold lots of toys and made money that way.

Which part don't you understand? This isn't a tricky or idiomatic expression; every word in it just means what it normally means.

A superhero is a character with special powers, usually from comic books, like Batman, Spiderman, or Superman. Enduring means lasting for a long time. Commercially successful means making a lot of money.

Is English unimportant? Not if you need it for work, to make a living with it. Our leaders are talking about our advantage of being a bilingual society, so do you think English is unimportant?
