Empire City - Escalating an already bad situation between the
two high-powered groups, the League of Super Champions took its fight
against the Legion of Supreme Crooks to the courts today, claiming
that their arch-enemies were causing confusion among loyal readers
of the Super Champions' comics.
The action is but the latest in a week which has seen Fox News
file suit against comedian Al Franken for his use of the network's
alleged
trademark "fair and balanced" on the cover of his latest
latest book.
"Just because Fox owns our comic-book publisher, that's not
-- and I repeat, that's not -- the reason we're filing suit," declared
The Tenniseer, current leader of the Super Champions.
"But Fox did show us that you can sue anyone for anything,
even for possession of the English language," The Tenniseer continued. "And
you know what? Anyway we can we can stick it to the Super Crooks
is okay by us. And when we win, it'll be a --"
"A victory for FREEEEEEDOM®!" interjected Ace, The Tenniseer's
boon teenaged companion. The phrase "A victory for FREEEEEEDOM®!" is
a registered trademark of the Super Champions.
The particulars of the lawsuits remain sealed, but are thought
to center around the acronym "LoSC," used by both super-hero
groups when referring to themselves in shorthand.
Needless to say, the Super Crooks aren't going down without a
fight.
"I'll tell you what this is, this is a fight for the freedom of expression," announced
The Racketeer, nemesis of The Tenniseer and leader of the Super Crooks.
"There's no way they can suppress the use of our name, especially
since the League of Super Chumps only formed after the Legion
of Super Crooks started its quest for world domination," The
Racketeer added. "And if it just so happens that the judge doesn't
see it our way, well --"
"Fuck 'EMMMMM®!" interrupted Dead Spot, The Racketeer's juvenile
partner in crime. The phrase "Fuck 'EMMMMM®!" is a
registered trademark of No Apologies! Press, used under license by
the Legion of Super Crooks.
