Marvel Case: Problems

• Fear that Marvel has placed 100% dependency on their use of their most known superhero (Spiderman) for the continued success 
  of their company. 

• Taking a risk of possibly capitalizing on the lesser known superheroes such as Namor, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, Punisher and The Fantastic Four.

•  Taking a risk of moving outside their current business model into more capital intensive activities.

Marvel Case: Remedies

• Continue to capitalize on the success and possible continued success of Spider-Man

• Marvel could shift focus to a new line of characters that may be currently unknown, this however will more capital intensive.

• Invest more capital in order to take ownership and develop more lines of businesses

GOALS

• How long can Marvel enjoy the success of Spider-Man?
• Should Marvel focus on its core heroes or introduce its lesser known heroes?
• What are the rewards worth the risks for moving into the movie content production and distribution as a primary revenue to the forefront of their marketing? Do we have a preference of internet or video games as a focus instead?
• Keep in mind they want consumers to talk about Marvel the way they talk about a conglomerate like Disney.
