Marvel Comics

Marvel Comics is an American company that publishes comic books and related media. It had a role in the origins of Super Sentai, after Shotaro Ishinomori's original two series, Himitsu Sentai Goranger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, Marvel and Toei released a Spider-Man tokusatsu series in 1978, which featured Spider-Man piloting a giant robot, a feature not present in the original two Sentai. The next year, what was originally planned to an adaptation of Captain America resulted in Battle Fever J, resulting in the official start of the Super Sentai series, with Shotaro Ishinomori's shows being included in 1995. The two series after Battle Fever J, Denshi Sentai Denziman and Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan, had Marvel copyrights though Marvel had no involvement in production.
