Today marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of Jeep. It was on this day in 1941 when the Willys car manufacturers began producing the Willys MB. Used for the military during World War II, they became popular for their off-road capabilities eventually becoming known as Jeeps. It was only afterwards that this became the brand name. Jeeps have become iconic due to their slotted grille while today's Wranglers still maintain the basic shape and look of the Willys.

Jeeps continue to be a part of military transport as well as popular among off-road enthusiasts. On X-Men, Wolverine had a Jeep, where the brand name was specifically used. They were shown as military vehicles in The Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man Unlimited. Poachers sneaking into Wakanda used a Jeep in Fantastic Four.
