I dunno, it seems like DC legal goes back and forth on those things. I know their policy to fansites goes from fairly lenient to lenient if demands are met (usually lots of disclaimers and sometimes redesign demands to make a site look unofficial) to stronger measures.
Overall, tho, I think someone at DC gets that fans expressing their love of the properties is good, as long as no one mistakes Betty's Dick Grayson slash fiction archive as being official.
LL, I think you've got a good idea. Considering the base CoH has developed, it'd be much easier and more profitable (in the long run) to liscence Cryptic to make CoH expansion packs and run a few servers set in the Marvel U.
Based on the article I think Cryptic's biggest problem is that they had semi-knockoffs in the player's guide. It'd be one thing if they said "Oh, well, we can't spot every Virgina Woolferine (keep her away from a typewriter) and Feenux out there." but an official book actualy suggested it.

Actually, it didn't. The cartoon was making fun of people who created toons based on comic book characters.

Sounds like a call for the... oh, gee, what did we call our Mythos SG?
Brainy -- we've got a SG of characters inspired by the CoH mythos... children of Paragon City baddies or similar characters (I've got a woman who was kidnapped and turned into what was meant to be the Clockwork King's bride). Feel like joining us? I don't think anyone's done a Lost or Ruularu themed character. (And I did a list of character ideas on the old thread, if the post didn't get lost.)

Aw, I didn't edit my post fast enough. Look at my post above, I added some stuff.
My other character is the son of the Lord of Frosts (the leader of WWII Japanese super team the Imperial Wind) from the Axis America universe (where the Axis won WWII).

Pariahs of Paragon is the name, I think.

I wanted one that was more classically heroic than Blue's regular outfit, but somehow still reflected the fact that he used armor. I like the results. 8-)

Hey, guys. It took a long time last night but Prism and I got out of debt-- after dying one more time after you left!-- and Prism picked up flight for Shadow at 14 and I picked swift for Bluette at 16.
So where would everyone like to play? I'd still like to spend some time working on Star so I can pick up Mutate for him at 16 and the Positron TF, but since we have new players with low levels I wouldn't mind playing Xs Ive on Virtue either. She's an 8 and she picks up speed boost at 12 so she'd be fun to play.
I got some big influence last night from helping out a high level friend by being an enhance dump, so I'm going to get Red Bee some DOs and see if I can make him tough enough to hit 14 and get flight. I just wish he wasn't so gimped ...
I wouldn't mind working on Brainwave Jr or Colorific either.
So I guess I'm good for the following servers today:
Infinity
Protector
Pinnacle
Triumph
Virtue
Anyone got a preference?
