35. marvel itself has been consolidating properties for years

it started out as just one of several publishing properties owned by Marvin Goodman. It later was sold to, among others, New World Entertainment. At various points in its history, it purchased an animation studio, a book distributor, Fleer (the trading card company), and a toy company. Marvel managed to land itself in bankruptcy in the mid-1990s and while it pulled itself out, I would imagine that Stan Lee would have less than completely nice things to say about the current management, whom he sued claiming that they were cheating him out of royalties from the Spiderman movies.
