Manga that make you question how and why someone created it in this format. Mainly focusing on the adaptations of popular western works/ideas from other media. I tried to somewhat limit the list and included only one manga per franchise/concept.

Manga that might make you question "why is there an adaptation of THAT?"
Some might be a little more surprising than others but will still make you think "that exists huh?"

Other honorable mentions that didn't make the list:
any Jesus manga, Beauty and the Beast, Blair Witch, Finding Nemo, Frozen, Grimms Manga Tales, Joker, Lollipop Chainsaw, Tangled, Thomas The Tank Engine and Wolverine

This series of interest stacks is a list of mangas & light novels that have been or are being licensed and published in Argentina. This DOES NOT include imported physicals originally released in other territories. Manhwas are included, however, manga-like releases from outside Asia are not included. Manga missing in MAL will be noted in each stack's description.

The mangas are in alphabetical order according to the title they were published under in Argentina, and not according to their original title. Each modified title is noted under each manga. Most of these can be bought online, although there are discontinued manga which can no longer be found unless bought used.

These interest stacks will be updated regularly and should always be considered to be incomplete. Please, message me if there's any manga missing, and/or if any info is wrong or missing. Due to MAL's 50-items limit on interest stacks, the entire list spans multiple stacks.

Manga based on Marvel properties have been actively published since the 1970s, and this stack aims to collect all the Marvel titles that are included in the MAL database, as well as provide information on those that have not yet been added. All titles are listed in order of release. If you're surprised to see Big Hero 6 here, here is the answer to your confusion and the reason for its inclusion: the Disney animated film is based on the Marvel comic book series.

Titles missing from MAL:
- Spider-Man (1978-1979) [the infamous tokusatsu series had four manga adaptations published in different magazines; each of them needs its own entry]
- Moon Knight (1979-1980) [pending approval: https://myanimelist.net/manga/160556/Mu-n_Naito]
- Psychonauts (1993) [Marvel/Nihon Shuppan collaboration]
- X-Men (1994-1995) [light novel series]
- X-Men (1994-1995) [another manga series based on the X-Men animated series]
- Blade: Trinity (2005) [one-shot manga by Takashi Okazaki bundled with the deluxe version of the film's soundtrack]
- Avengers (2014) [one-shot chibi manga by Fujiminosuke Yorozuya]
- Attack on Avengers (2014) [Avengers/Attack on Titan crossover; pending approval: https://myanimelist.net/manga/134136/Attack_on_Avengers]
- Baymax (2014) [two-chapter manga prequel to the film; not the same that we have on MAL]
- Avengers: Age of Ultron Episode 0 (2015) [pending approval: https://myanimelist.net/manga/154477/Avengers__Age_of_Ultron_Episode_0]
- Tony to Mutta (2016) [Iron Man/Space Brothers crossover
- Doctor Strange: Episode 0 (2016) [one-shot, non-canonical prequel to the film]
- Cloak of Levitation Goes Out (2017) [licensed web manga series by Haruichi]
- Meisho Manga Realization Featuring Marvel's Samurai Heroes (2018) [based on a toyline]
- Marvel Meow (2019)

Japan wasn't the only Asian country to have its own original Marvel media. South Korea had Avengers: Electric Rain (2014-2015) and Avengers K (2015-2016) manhwas, and China produced two manhua series titled Warriors of Three Sovereigns and Aero, both 2018-2019. None of them are documented on MAL.

Marvel has also published comics based on several franchises of Japanese origin, but though they don't belong on MAL, they're worth mentioning here at least for the sake of completeness. These include Godzilla (1977-1979), Shogun Warriors (1978-1980), Zoids (1986-1987), several Power Rangers titles (1995-1996), Rise of Incarnates (2014-2015) and several Ultraman titles (2020-present; includes an Avengers crossover). Malibu Comics, acquired by Marvel in 1994, published a Street Fighter miniseries in 1993. Digging even deeper, it's also worth mentioning Transformers, given the franchise's Japanese roots (roots, bloody roots!) – Marvel helped to cement the Transformers lore and published five comic book series from 1984 to 1994, as well as a crossover with the New Avengers in 2007.

A few interesting facts. Marvel published Akira in the US as a colored 38-issue comic. They also reprinted the Star Wars manga. And now the most obscure: Marvel's Italian branch in its last years published translations of such manga as Berserk, Evangelion, Slam Dunk, Battle Angel Alita, Silent Möbius, Martian Successor Nadesico, Dark Angel, Slayer, Shoma, Eat-Man and Tenchi Muyo.

Feel free to contact me if I missed something or if any manga from the missing list was added to the MAL library.
P.S. BTW, after all these years I still hope that someone will translate the Hulk manga, lol
