Editing Marvel Comics (section)

==/tg/ Relevance==
Like its rival, Marvel Comics have produced a number of licensed tie-in RPGs, and even [[TSR]] partnered up with them to bring those games to the table. There's also the [[Fantasy Flight Games|Fantasy Flight]]'s Marvel Champions Living Card Game and X-Men Mutant Insurrection.  There's also [[Marvel Crisis Protocol]] produced by Atomic Mass Games, a skirmish level wargame with some fairly neat minis.

For ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Warhammer]]'' fans and Thor aficionados in particular, there's the [[Skub]]-filled topic of Malekith the Dark Elf King. Y'see, Marvel Comics released a character by that name and title in 1983, while [[Games Workshop]] would release [[Druchii|their own Dark Elves]] a year later, and [[Malekith|their king]] would follow them in 1994. Though both companies have more or less kept mum on the issue, fanbases of both IPs have discussed and argued about this in their stead. Ultimately [[The End Times]] came and GeeDubs yielded, ultimately changing their Malekith's name to Malerion come [[Age of Sigmar]]. Thus ended a 31-to-19 year-long cold war, six of those years after Disney's buyout of Marvel which, while a bit impressive, no doubt convinced GW to throw in the towel due to [[Exterminatus|the potential threat of legal action from both the House of Stan and Jack ''and'' the Mouse]]. (Part of the reason it never got litigated was because both characters were a reference to Elric of Melniboné, making any lawsuit at risk of losing both characters to Michael Moorcock, author of Elric.)
