History
Overview[]
Liechtenstein, officially the Principality of Liechtenstein is a doubly landlocked microstate in Central Europe. It is a constitutional monarchy with the rank of principality, headed by the Prince of Liechtenstein.
Criminal organization Hydra found the Growing Man in Liechtenstein, but they immediately understood they could not control it as it would only obey its creator, Kang, so they kept it stored for years, and barely anyone (especially anyone outside Hydra) knew about that operation. When Hydra's Baron Strucker unleased the Growing Man in New York City against the Thunderbolts, only to see it defeated, Thunderbolt leader Citizen V discovered where the Growing Man had been obtained, and contacted Strucker in Hong Kong to threaten him.[1]
Alternate Reality Versions[]

While undressing his friend-with-benefits Debbie the Duck, Kenneth Connell (Star Brand) mentioned several toponyms he compared to parts of her body, including Liechtenstein as an unspecified, ticklish point.[2]
Super Hero Squad Universe (Earth-91119)[]
On Earth-91119, Liechtenstein is represented by Captain Liechtenstein, a member of the international All-Captains Squad (consisting of Captain America (Steve Rogers), Captain Australia, Captain Brazil, Captain Britain, and Captain Liechtenstein himself). With the help of Captain Canada (Wolverine), they fought Plantman in the Amazon.[3]Notes
- Typically, the country is written Liechtenstein, while Lichtenstein is used to refer to pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. However, Marvel Encyclopedia: The Incredible Hulk (2003) misspells the artist's name as Roy Liechtenstein.
