Marvel Entertainment, LLC, formerly Marvel Enterprises and Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc. is an American entertainment company and a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

Over the years, Marvel has maintained several businesses which have interacted with Sega - Marvel Worldwide Inc. (which trades as Marvel Comics) handles the comic business that the Marvel empire was founded on, while Marvel Characters, Inc. licenses its intellectual properties for third-party use. More recently, Marvel Studios (formerly Marvel Films) has played a role in the creation of the company's big budget feature-length films.

For the purposes of simplicity, Sega Retro groups all of these Marvel companies together, save for the short-lived Marvel Software that specifically handled game production.
