Marvel and DC comics jointly filed a trademark on the word "super-hero."
Here's a proposal: from now on, let's never use the term "super-hero" to describe a Marvel character. Let's call them "underwear perverts" -- as Warren Ellis is wont to -- or vigilantes, or mutants. Let's reserve the term "super-hero" exclusively to describe the heros of comics published by companies that aren't crooked word-thieves.
They want to ruin this thing called Super Hero Happy Hour.

It's almost April 1st, soon, isn't it. Let us pray that no one is really, seriously, that stupid.
And let's use "underwear perverts" anyway.
ETA. Apparently it's all very ancient news. Still fucking stupid, though, and no one does anything. But then people still fucking use photobucket all over, don't they. Well. Such is life.
