I turn water into water
If you have a character you can upload it for a copyright here: http://www.copyright.gov/eco/ though it requires a fee and I wouldn't bother honestly.
Copyright law protects the expression of ideas but not the ideas themselves, which just means the character needs to be integral to the story being told and needs to have consistent, identifiable traits. As an example someone couldn't make a Harry Potter knock off with glasses and a scar, but could make a different story about a boy going to wizard school.
Making that character successful is basically just luck and connections. You can make a marketable character but it wont mean much without a team to market it. It's literally not even worth worrying about. Just try making something and hope people like it, see where you can grow from there.
Although yes I would also say Mickey Mouse.
