Hi! I couldn't find any reference to this searching here, so...

I know a number of folks here play City of Heroes and quite enjoy it, and I thought you'd all like to know about this, if you didn't already.

The makers of CoH, NC Soft and Cryptic Studios, are being sued by Marvel Entertainment for multiple counts of copyright and trademark violations.This was a few days ago, and without further information it was unclear how serious and far-reaching this suit was. Potentially very serious, as Marvel winning could seriously affect EVERY computer and other game that features customizable avatars.

Now the actual case filing has been made available:Read it. Laugh your ass off.
