Visual Guide to Marvel Movie Rights



Marvel Comics has been selling the rights to make films based on their material since the 1990s. Thus, the rights to involve certain Marvel characters in screenplays are restricted according to which studio owns them. The creation of Marvel Films in 1993 (now known as Marvel Studios) allowed for Marvel to do a reaquisition in some cases.

The issue seems complicated, but The Geek Twins simplified things with their graphic that explains which studio owns what. What crossovers can take place, allowing for who to fight whom?

Visit this page to see their graphic in three sizes, read a listing of studio rights, see The Geek Twins' references for their undertaking as well as to view other graphics they've created.

iv`e never seen anything like it but i think you fill ii with hot water and use it to warm up an arthritic finger joint.
but it was made in springfeild so who knows .

Well, the little spiral thing is either, (a) to cool something in the contents or (b) to hold something. The flat bottom seems more indicative of something designed to be heated, rather than for stability. My guess is maybe there are two chambers inside this thing and it is a portable still of some kind, maybe to purify water?

Older version of our modern day equivalent of a candle lighter. Protruding area can be lit to provide reach into gaslight lamps and provide ease through not having to strike many matches to light several lamps around the house.

It may be a pot to haet liquids with a handle to take it(vertical), and other to keep it over the fire.

Or a distilling device, or part of it, working like an italian coffeepot.

It's deceptive because it's upside-down. It's a funnel.
It looks just like one used for canning, except it has that spiral loop - possibly used for distilling or simply to attach it to a stick for a pivot.

It's an alcohol or fuel lamp. The bottom coil has a hole for vapor to escape and when lit heats up the top coil to change the liquid fuel to a gas.

It's an old gas/alcohol/kerosene lamp. You pump the pressure up with the thing on the left, and there are small holes on the right for lighting the gas/liquid coming out.

It's to heat things up. You put the hot water in the hole, close the cap tightly, so the heat doesn't escape, and let the heat make its way though the coils to warm up something that is stuck in there, clothes-pin style.

Or it could be a dunce cap. Place it on the head, of the punished child (there's no bottom - it's hollow) an hang a paper from the coil, stating what the child did wrong.

I think Onyxium has it right. The coil resembles an immersion heater, and probably extends into the chamber. The lid certainly looks like old ink pot lids, with a flat stable bottom to avoid tipping.

Not a lamp, but a small alcohol fondue or chafing dish burner. You place alcohol inside the can, there is a wick to the coil which by the flame's heat generates pressure in the can and keeps the alcohol flowing through the small holes in the ring which perpetuates the cycle. It functions much the same as a vintage alcohol blow torch. Also similar are the new-fangled aluminum can stoves seen on many backpacking sites.

hmm, you know in the trenches in ww1, the soldiers made things out of whatever they could find. it sort or looks like a cancle holder/snuffer made out of whatever some soldier could find.
