Disney bought Marvel, and yes they have everything in comic form. They do not have Spidey, X-Men, or Fantastic 4 in movies. Zen does not have exclusivity to all things Marvel either. What their agreement probably has is rights to original video pinball creations. That means TPA couldn't do their own Spider-Man table, but could do the Stern version, or even the Gottlieb one.Remember, licensing is very specific with who gets what and for what purpose. The only reason Star Wars and Indy get the blanket treatment is because Disney bought Lucasfilm entirely, and they only used Fox and Paramount as distributors, not financiers. Except for Star Wars: A New Hope, which Fox owns in perpetuity. That was how Lucas came to own the merchandising rights way back when. It's also what could put a damper in Disney's plans to release the original trilogy in unaltered form like everyone wants.</blockquote>
