I don't agree with you momodot. I work for a company that has to trademark catch phrases for our particular product. Usually the only place that a trademark applies is if you're in the same field/market where it is registered. Personally I think you're blowing this whole thing out of proportion. And I think that Marvel and DC are too full of themselves to think they can get away with it. What about Dark Horse and the other comic companies out there? Are they supposed to stop using the word? Marvel and DC trademarking that word is like Proctor & Gamble trademarking "soap". It's too common of a word to be able to enforce. David
