History Manga / MarvelMangaverse

* {{Attack of the Fifty Foot Whatever}}: The Hulk in the version and Galactus to a lesser extent.

* {{But Thou Must}}: Captain Marvel's origin, poor guy is practically thrust into becoming a superhero.

* {{Hoist By His Own Petard}}: [[spoiler: The Hand (the main big bad in the New Mangaverse) attack a military base leaving many dead. Carol Danvers is among such though she is left for dead. The attack on her changes her body giving her superpowers. It thanks to her that the remaining superheroes were saved before The Hand could kill them and managed to turn the fight around. All due to The Hand not checking their handiwork.]]

* {{Left Hanging}}: See Cliff Hanger
* {{Man Behind the Man}}: Once again see Cliff Hanger.

* {{Secret Legacy}}: Captain Marvel's
* {{Together In Death}}: [[spoiler: Bruce Banner and Antoinette Stark at the end of the first volume.]]

* TheCameo: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby show up in the first story arc of the monthly series.
** ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' creator, Fred Perry himself, shows up in one panel during the first part of Vol 1. Likely as a joke by Ben as they're friends and co-workers in real life.
** Flash and Gwen appear in the first issue of Mangaverse Spider-Man.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Comic Book Guy.]]

The results were... less than stellar; as many reviews pointed out, while it had the style of Manga, it was essentially only a cosmetic choice and the stories didn't seem to benefit from the genre shift. Not to mention being a cluttered mess that tried a bit too hard to include every superhero and villain that it could. However, it was still a worthy experiment in trying something different with the Marvel Universe, and the original event was popular enough to spin off into a (short-lived) monthly series, as well as a ''New Mangaverse'' revival in 2006.

* BreakoutCharacter: While the series is largely forgotten today, some of its characters resonated pretty well with readers, most notably Spider-Man and Mary Jane (who would both go on to appear in Comicbook/SpiderVerse). Others, like [[EvilIsSexy Black Cat]], [[ActionGirl Antoinette]] [[PowerArmor Stark]], [[BadassBookworm Doctor Strange]] and [[CatGirl Tigra]] also developed small fanbases.
** Mangaverse Spider-Man was even given his own spin-off miniseries.

** ''New Mangaverse'' Wolverine looks a lot like [[{{Dragonball Z}} Vegeta]]. Dresses a lot like him, too.

* {{Face Heel Turn}}: [[spoiler: Nick Fury and Black Cat in the New Mangaverse.]]

* {{How Do I Shot Web}}: Captain Marvel, having to learn very fast in his situation.

* [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Action]]: [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica President Steve Rogers]].

** What's sad about it is that up till that point they were among the ''very few'' heroes seen in the previous books to survive the various stories, only to get ''SLAUGHTERED'' in the first few pages of t he first issue of New Mangaverse.

* GenderFlip: Multiple cases (Johnatha Storm, the Punisher, [[spoiler:Doctor Doom]]). Zig-zagged with Iron Man; we first meet Antoinette Stark in the first volume, but we later find out that her brother Anthony is still alive -- if [[BrainInAJar bodiless]].

* AntiClimaxBoss: The Hulk is defeated by a single [[spoiler: smack in the face by Mjolnir]].

* ''The Punisher'': Rarely seen stand-alone comic that showcases the Punisher as a samurai/geisha being out to stop a demon-summoning crimelord. In this version though, the Punisher is a woman who "punishes" though spankings, bondage, and other CoolAndUnusualPunishment instead of a large body count. She still bears the marking of the original anti-hero. Written by PeterDavid; drawn by Lea Hernandez. Warning: {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s.

* ''Fantastic Four'': [[Comicbook/{{Empowered}} Adam Warren]] writes what's essentially a FusionFic with ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. After a disastrous experiment GoneHorriblyWrong, FieryRedhead {{Jerkass}} [[GenderFlip Johnatha]] Storm, her incredibly [[EmotionlessGirl withdrawn and emotionless]] half-sister [[MyNaymeIs Sioux]], and the HiddenBadass milquetoast Benjamin ([[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY prounounced "Ben-ya-meen"]]) Grimm use the strange powers they gained to fight a succession of enormous alien beings attacking the Baxter Building, under the direction of their arrogant, womanizing genius commander, Reed Richards.

* ''Phoenix - Legacy of Fire'': Following the two sisters Jena and Madelyne Pyre as they embark on a quest to recover their family heirloom from the Shadow King. Initially scheduled on the regular old Marvel release, it was then bumped to a Creator/MarvelMAX release, because of its {{fanservice}}-heavy content. Written by Ryan Kinnaird.

* Spider-Man: Which {{revision}}s him as a ninja trying to avenge the death of his Sensei Ben, who was killed by Venom.
* X-Men: Save for a few custom designs, not much has changed in this version. Mutants are being persecuted, the X-Men try to save the day. There are a few surprising twists here and there.
* The Punisher: Rarely seen stand-alone comic that showcases the Punisher as a samurai/geisha being out to stop a demon-summoning crimelord.

* Comicbook/TheAvengers: The disembodied head of Anthony Stark has the Avengers gather the parts of a CombiningMecha to battle the Hulk, battling Apocalypse and his Horsemen along the way.
* Comicbook/{{Ghost Rider}}s: A WalkingShirtlessScene Daimon Hellstrom walks up to Johnny Blaze one evening and tells him that they're both '''[[LargeHam SONS OF SATAN]]''', and that Johnny's got to help deal with both the Hulk and their [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant demoness sister]] wandering through town. Daimon sets Johnny's head on fire to help prove his point; Johnny's disturbed. Written by Chuck Austen.

* [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Action]]: [[CaptainAmerica President Steve Rogers]].

* CompositeCharacter: T'Challa can transform into both the Comicbook/BlackPanther ''and'' Comicbook/TheFalcon.

** Johnatha is a double expy, her character design (and OjouRinglets) are lifted from Izumi Himuro of ''PrincessNine''.

* Vol 1 (The Fifth Week Event): Focuses on the Avengers and Comicbook/DoctorStrange with some cameos by Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and the X-Men battling a Godzilla-size Hulk. Two issues which served as bookends for most of the stand alone titles below (which were also collected in the trade paperback release). Art and writing on the bookends by ''NinjaHighSchool'' creator Ben Dunn.

* ''New Mangaverse: New Rings of Fate'': The finale of the Mangaverse, dealing with a KillEmAll crisis of Superheroes. Seriously if you don't like to see your favorite Marvel killed, don't read this one. Story by C.B. Sebulski (who also wrote ''MarvelFairyTales''); art by Tommy Ohtsuka (who also drew the ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Premium'' and ''Slayers Special'' manga).
