Boff! Zam! Pow!: $2 Billion Lawsuit Over Rights to Comic Book Heroes Dismissed

  • A federal judge has dismissed a $2 billion lawsuit against comic-book icon Stan Lee and Marvel Entertainment Inc. alleging that a corporation he formed with a former partner owns the rights to Lee's most famous characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk and X-Men.

    In a 14-page decision last week, Southern District of New York Judge Paul A. Crotty held it was "time to call a halt" to lengthy litigation in California, Colorado and New York claiming that Lee had improperly transferred his rights in the characters to Marvel Entertainment.

    Stan Lee Media Inc. filed for bankruptcy in the 2001 dot-com bust, but was purchased by a group of new investors.

    In dismissing the case, Crotty ruled that the current shareholders of the venture did not own stock in the company in 1998, at the time of the alleged improper transfer, and therefore lacked standing to sue.

    Further, he concluded that the plaintiffs had violated the applicable statute of limitations for various claims. "Plaintiffs cannot wait a decade to enforce their rights," Crotty wrote, throwing out the suit.

    The case is Abadin v. Marvel Entertainment Inc., 09-civ-0715.

I have always held the belief that Stan Lee is Earth's first and only real super hero.

Everything he has written have come from his own experiences battling evil in his life time.

You can read all about it in my new novel "The Secret Life of Stan Lee".

The first run will be printed on hemp paper.

Dont diss Stan Lee in front of Rob.
Rob once told Stan Lee that I was impersonating him, and told him to sue me.

Maybe if you stopped guzzling down semen like it's Gatorade, you could come up with a better alt.
