As well as meeting their eastern comic counterparts, Marvel licensed the character Spider-Man to Toei to make a live action series. There very noticible differences; the protagonist is not Peter Parker and does not get his powers from a radioactive spider but an alien and has the giant mecha Leopardon. The success of Spider-Man led to Toei putting mecha into Battle Fever J (loosely related to Captain America) and thus Sentai became Super Sentai. youtu.be/3MxGtH-2duM
