I hope a Earth number designation for the reality of this Marvel commercial gets created soon XD


Also I wonder how many live action Marvel universes there are.

Obviously, there are the movies and TV shows. But for example, the Neversoft Enter Electro had a live action commercial, so technically that universe can be counted as live action. Then, there's the Got Milk commercial you posted, 60s Marvel cartoon had live action segments etc.
 
List of MAD parodies according to Google AI:



MAD Magazine has famously parodied Marvel Comics and its characters, particularly focusing on their popular films, through satire, movie spoofs, and recurring comic strips, especially during the 21st century. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here is a list of MAD magazine issues featuring Marvel parodies, based on available records:

Key Marvel Parody Issues
  • MAD #7 (2019): Features "Avenjerks" (a parody of Avengers: Endgame), written by Ian Boothby and illustrated by Gideon Kendall, which also parodied Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
  • MAD #513 (2011): Contains "The Amazingly Dangerous Spider-Play: Oh, What a Mangled Web We Weave!", a spoof of the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical.
  • MAD #516 (2012): Features "Spider-Man Tweets While Watching The Avengers & Mad's Less-Than-Amazing Outtakes From the Amazing Spider-Man".
  • MAD #446 (2004): Features a parody of Spider-Man 2.
  • MAD #418 (2002): Includes a Spider-Man movie satire titled "Spider-Sham".
  • MAD #382 (1999): Contains "If Truth in Advertising Laws Applied to Comic Book Previews," which parodied multiple Marvel titles, including The Punisher and The Amazing Spider-Man.
  • MAD #204 (1979): Features "The Incredible Bulk" (a Hulk parody). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Recurring Marvel Parody Features
  • Kerry Callen's Funnies (Various 2010s-2020s issues): Kerry Callen created numerous 1-page parody strips, including parodies of Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider.
  • Don Martin Looks at Spider-Man (MAD #212, 1980): A 3-page, non-verbal cartoon parody by Don Martin. [1, 2, 3]

Retread Funnies (Crazy Magazine)
  • Crazy magazine, a sister publication to MAD, regularly featured "Retread Funnies," which re-lettered and re-captioned classic Marvel Comics stories to create satirical dialogue. [1]
Note: MAD generally focused on comic book parodies (like Superduperman) in the 1950s rather than Marvel. More direct Marvel parodies accelerated as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) became a dominant pop culture force. [1, 2]
MAD issue 431 parodies Hulk 2003 (also features a one panel X-Men parody, issue 492 parodies superhero films released in 2008, including Iron Man and Hulk.

@Mike_Castle IDK if the Appendix writers care about numbering any of these, but this post as well as the previous couple posts I made on this thread is most of what I can find for Marvel parodies in MAD magazine.


Also, the above page features an Infinity War gag, but IDK the issue this was published in.

*issue 546: Captain America

Lastly, in Marvel Wiki, Earth-TRN902 is the Sergio Aragones's universe, and he drew a Spider-Man 3 parody in MAD issue 480, a Hulk and Iron Man parody in issue 492 and a Hulk gag in issue 501.

Therefore, TRN902 should be the same universe as those aforementioned MAD comics.

There are no plans to number them all, but each Marvel-based Mad reality has the potential to receive reality designation and they are all fair game for coverage.
 
So it's basically
1. MAD comics
2. MAD MCU
3. MAD Fox
4. MAD Sony
It's a little more complicated. I thought at least all the comics drawn by, say, Tom Richmond were set in the same universe, because Spider-Man has crossed over with other parodies like Watchmen, but the names of the characters and teams change from comic to comic, so I'm not sure.
 
I was hoping it would be revealed in Imperial Guardians, but no such luck yet. I wrote to the Marvel Heroes Office a while back, never received a reply.
 
Says the Stephen King universes are part of the Marvel Multiverse now.

Once again, the potential for Nickelodeon reality numbers is becoming more likely.
Rugrats is the only one that comes to mind, though I think there were other Nickelodeon comics released during the 1990s. But SpongeBob, Jimmy Neutron, etc. are not on the table, of course, and never will be. The timelines from Ur were added solely because Stephen King's works are interconnected and linked to the Marvel Megaverse via The Stand (which has now received a reality designation) and other adaptations, and because they were explicitly referenced within the novella itself.

New continuity coming:

"In the same spirit as 2024's Wolverine: Revenge, the hit limited comic series by Hickman and Greg Capullo, Spider-Man: Long Way Home offers familiarity while existing apart from the main Marvel Universe, delivering a timeless, evergreen saga for all readers that's unrestrained by continuity, scope and mercy!"
