Marvel Sues Over MMOG
Comic book publisher Marvel Entertainment has sued NCsoft and Cryptic Studios for allegedly designing their massively multiplayer online game "City of Heroes" -- in which about 200,000 people play superheroes in a cyber-world in which "comic books come alive" -- to knowingly allow players to fashion their characters to look like and be named after famous Marvel icons like The Hulk, Captain America and Spider-Man, thereby "directly, contributorily and vicariously infringing upon Marvel copyrights and trademarks."
