I have a question regarding realities that apparently exist within the Marvel Multiverse but were created by completely different companies. But first, a little history on the realities in question.

Earth-99101 The reality of Iberia, Inc., which was created by Rafael Marin and Carlos Pacheco for Planeta's Lbaerinto imprint. This was a superhero series that was originally intended to be an alternate Avengers team, since Planeta once reprinted Marvel comics and had hoped their team would appear in a Marvel product. While this didn't happen, Carlos Pacheco snuck a few Iberia, Inc. characters into Avengers: Forever (particularly in issues 11 and 12). The Marvel Appendix considers their appearances in those comics as proof that their series existing in the multiverse.

Earth-90125 In DC Comics Superman Vol 2 #49, Superman's foe Mr. Mxyzptlk claims he went on vacation to another reality to menace "four" "fantastic new friends." In issue #50, we can partially see the legs of characters that seem very similar to the Fantastic Four. Normally this would be considered a DC reality, not a Marvel one if not for one problem: DC had NO multiverse at the time. The story takes place after Crisis on Infinite Earths and before Hypertime, meaning there is only ONE DC Universe. He couldn't go to another DC reality because no other reality exists, and considering that he totally has the power to go to another multiverse (which happens in the Earth-616 Crossover between Superman and Silver Surfer), the Appendix cites he likely came to the Marvel multiverse.

Now that those two paragraphs are out of the way, we can return to what I wanted to ask...

What do we do with realities that exist in the Multiverse, but aren't created by Marvel?

For the former reality, I think simply creating the reality and describing it while explaining why it's in the multiverse in the notes would suffice, and for the latter, we can create the reality and link the appearances to DC Database, though whether or not the Fantastic Four featured warrant pages or not.

What's your opinion? And thanks for reading all this.
