Stan Lee Media Inc., which keep in mind our beloved Stan is no long any part of, has decided to sue Walt Disney over the rights to the Marvel characters. The company is claiming that Disney doesn\u2019t own the rights to the Marvel characters and they want a piece of the\u00a0$5.5 billion it says the Disney has made from superhero movies and merchandise based on characters created by Stan Lee.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefendant The Walt Disney Company has represented to the public that it, in fact, owns the copyright to these characters as well as to hundreds of other characters created by Stan Lee. Those representations made to the public by The Walt Disney Company are false.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pretty interesting that they have just decided to speak up now being that they claim these rights were signed over by Mr. Lee back in 1998. Oh, that\u2019s right. Marvel Studios and Disney just recently had the third highest grossing film of all time and now you guys own the rights to these characters? As Mr. Vanko said in Iron Man 2, \u201cWhen Blood is in the water the sharks will come\u201d.<\/p>\n

Oh, and surprising. They also want\u00a0full control over anything done with these characters in the future. Well, I hope Stan Lee Media Inc. is prepared to get royally screwed by the mouse because Disney is vicious in court.<\/p>\n
