Settled *after* several parts of Marvel's case had allready been thrown out, I might add.
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=7517 Marvel and NCsoft did not disclose terms of the settlement, but the result appears to allow NCsoft's games -- both City of Heroes and City of Villains, the expansion released in the interim -- to proceed unhindered, allowing players to create characters as they wish, without physical restrictions on what characters look like. Discuss.  _____________________

I'd rather NCSoft had won, because Marvel ruined their characters back in the early 1990s. If they don't care about continuity and a well-told story, why should we care about whether Johnny dresses up his avatar as Captain America?
