 Marvel Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike DC Comics, who uses the idea that interference with time by villains caused reality to reboot a few times, Marvel simply assumes that the stories happen in the space of years instead of decades; this is known as a sliding timescale.
Marvel's major heroes (the ones who get involved in most of the important events) are the ones created from 1961 to 1963, during Marvel's "Silver Age": Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Thor, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s director, Nick Fury.
Note that in Marvel Comics, the concept of a continuity is not the same as "dimension" or "universe"; for example, characters like Mephisto and Dormammu hail from alternate dimensions and the Celestials from another universe, but they all nevertheless belong to Earth-616.

In 1996, due to poor sales, Marvel relaunched some of their oldest flagship characters such as The Avengers and Fantastic Four in the Heroes Reborn universe, where Marvel defectors Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld were given permission to revamp the properties from scratch.

 The Comics Journal: ¡Journalista!
During the heydays of the 1980s and early '90s, Marvel and DC began implementing more favorable contracts for its top creators in an effort to stem the tide, and for a brief moment it seemed like comic books were finally about to shake their sweatshop past.
Marvel's approach to bookstore success -- using pre-owned characters to make one's mark, thus ensuring total ownership of any and all profits and ancilliary benefits -- is dictated by the mountain of debt it inherited from Ron Perelman, more than anything else.
(Comic Books) This is the fourth of five installments of our look at Marvel Comics' dalliance with the booksellers' market; latecomers are encouraged to read part one, part two and part three before continuing.

Topless sunbathing is considered acceptable by many on the beaches of France, Spain, and most of the rest of Europe (and even in some outdoor swimming pools); however, exposure of the genitals is restricted to nudist areas in most regions, Eastern Germany being a notable exception.
Of images of nudity (not necessarily pornographic), the most extreme form is "full frontal" nudity, referring to the fact that the actor or model is presented from the front and including "everything", indicating that the genitals are exposed.
Frequently images of nude people do not go that far and photos are deliberately composed, and films edited, such that in particular no genitalia are seen, as if the camera failed to see them by chance.

 Spider-Man - Excerpted from Marvel Comics: The Characters and their Universe
While comic book readers were reveling in the increasingly dramatic and adult storylines of the '70s, professional educators were using the character to teach children to read (a reversal of sensibilities that would have choked Dr. Fredric Wertham, the man who tried to drive a stake through comic books in the 1950s).
In one of the most elaborate publicity stunts ever staged by Marvel (or anyone else, for that matter), Spidey and M.J., represented by actors in costume, were "married" in the baseball stadium by Stan Lee on June 5, 1987, before a jubilant crowd of 55,000 people.
Fans of the comic book character had reason to be satisfied with this television incarnation since, for the most part, the filmmakers took care to stay close to the original.
