Marvel Influence on Super Sentai
There was a time that Marvel Comics worked with Toei prior to splitting up the partnership. So I felt like there was little Marvel comics influence to Super Sentai like:
Battle Fever J had the motif similar to Captain America's comrades in World War II. Not only that the name Miss America was also used.
In Changeman, we have the Gozma. Let's see- we have Giluke is similar to Terrax in personality. Also Bazoo the Living Planet is similar to Ego the Living Planet- both villains devoured planets and were extremely callous.
In Fiveman, Vulgyre was like Galactus. He devoured planets in order to survive.
Missed any? Let me know!

DeleteI cannot think of Marvel's influence in Super Sentai but in other genre of Tokusatsu. The Metal Hero genre was greatly influenced by Ironman.
