Marvel's giant slap to the face.
So it was suggested that I don't talk about porn, sex.com, and twelve inch wangs among other assorted things. And on that note, here is a story that doesn't include any of that. Just a really big d*ck. In the form of Marvel.
So there's this game out there called City of hero's (CoH), its a massive multi-player online role playing game. In this game you create your own superhero and go around defeating villians, sounds interesting, something that boys like. Well Marvel doesn't like it, because (and here's a big shocker) you can create hero's that look like Marvel's heros. So they are sueing the people who made the game.
"But in its lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Marvel argues that the game's character creation engine easily allows players to design characters that are virtual copies of its own superheros, including ``The Incredible Hulk.''
The company singles out a game feature for creating ``a gigantic, green, 'science-based tanker'-type hero that moves and behaves nearly identically'' to the ``Hulk.'' Players can also create a ``mutant-based'' hero powers and a costume nearly identical to Marvel's ``Wolverine,'' according to the suit. "
Sounds like a dick move to me by Marvel.
