These guys are toast. That's a dead wringer for the Hulk.

How well is CoH selling? Maybe I'll buy some Marvel stock. ;-)

My big question is when will the large companies (who try to throw their copywrite "claws" over everything they can possibly get their hands on) wake up and understand that in most cases such as this one, it's not hurting them. If Marvel plans on creating a Massive super hero game that's even close to as well done as City of Heroes was, it's not like somebody is going to say "I don't want to play that because I saw a Incredible Hulk wannabe in COH." If anything they should be thanking Cryptic for getting the superhero comic universe out to a wider audience.
