Wolverine is knocked to the ground by w0lfeRyn3

Marvel Comics has lost the first round of its lawsuit against NCSoft and Cryptic, the powers-that-be behind City of Heroes. Marvel's pissed that players can create characters who look a lot like their own creations. The judge dismissed around half of their complaints; not a superficial setback.

It looks like the comics publisher shot themselves in the foot by offering examples of emulated Marvel characters that
they, themselves, created. Oy. If they wanted to prove that the game was hurting them, it would have been better to track down players who are running around looking like The Punisher.
