Properties belonging to non-Marvel licensees

Property	Appearances	Notes
U.S. 1	The Transformers: "Prisoner of War!"	U.S. 1 was a line of slot cars produced by Tyco, adapted into a Marvel comic of the same name.  The legal indicia for the series makes clear that, apart from the titular truck,  all original characters and concepts are property of Marvel. When Ulysses Solomon Archer  and his supporting cast re-appeared in The Sensational She-Hulk issue 6,  the truck had been heavily redesigned into a space freighter named the "Star Rig"; the Tyco U.S.-1 logo was absent from the Star Rig's design, and appearances of the U.S.-1 truck in flashback were heavily obscured.
That big green, fire-snortin' lizard	The Transformers: "Prisoner of War!"  (mentioned) "Inside Story!"  (mentioned as Godzilla)	Godzilla is a giant monster owned by Toho that appeared in a licensed Marvel comic  for a time; Godzilla  was a character in Earth-616 for a time, and in "Prisoner of War!", Nicholas obliquely refers back to Dum Dum's time on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Godzilla Squad.  In "Inside Story!", Irwin Spoon  refers to Godzilla as a "Japanese monster movie", alongside King Kong.
