We don't really cover third party characters that much. There are only a few like Doctor Who, and I don't like em. Don't get me wrong, I do like third party characters on certain other wikis. I'm even working on a Super Smash Bros. project on a Sonic wiki. But here, where we write millions of articles on Spider-Man, third-party characters wouldn't work especially when we only cover the Marvel characters in a crossover. We have an article on Spider-Man in Marvel vs. Capcom but no Mega Man, despite appearing in the first two Marvel vs Capcom games. Having licensed characters is hypocritical. So we don't need licensed character quotes. I mean, look in that category, there are licensed comics like Annie and Beavis & Butthead. Would you want quotes from those?

I think this is a simple situation of wanting a quote to represent the comic. It doesn't have to be an inside Marvel source for the quote. The category is just a to-do list for people who want to read a book and add a quote. I don't really see a problem with quotes from anyone in there unless people are trying to insert profanity for shock value.

Third party character inclusion in the wiki is a different conversation altogether.
