Amer Sawan, Comic Book Resources; Marvel Reveals Who Really Owns Iron Man and Mr Fantastic’s First Inventions
"WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Deadpool Infinity Comic #1, now available on Marvel Unlimited.
Deadpool's attempt to sneak into a auction for most of the Marvel Universe's villains was prompted by an information leak from the true owners of Iron Man and Mister Fantastic's patents. In the event of their deaths that is. Which has already happened. Quite a few times in fact, so the actual legal rights are a bit up in the air.
But the question of who owns the intellectual property isn't as important as the question of who Tony Stark and Reed Richards settled upon as the best candidate to look after their life's work. The two geniuses thought it over long and hard and selected Damage Control to be their beneficiary, as revealed in Deadpool Infinity Comic #1, by Gerry Duggan, Lucas Werneck, Geoffo, Rachelle Rosenberg and Joe Sabino."
