History

Marvel HQ was officially launched on 20 January 2019, replacing the Indian version of Disney XD.[1] Disney India sees Marvel as a "pop-culture phenomenon" as the reason to have a dedicated Marvel channel.[4] At launch, the main Marvel programming would consist of four animated shows[1] and 40% of the schedule[4] with additional Marvel animated series added or seasons started in March 2019. But other than Marvel shows, this channel also provides a number of popular TV series such as Pokémon and Beyblade.[1]
