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.

History

Marvel Entertainment acquired and absorbed rival American comic publisher Malibu Comics in 1994.

In March 2023, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel, shuttering its Entertainment division and absorbing its many subsidiaries.
