This was part of a PM that Antman sent me back in the day. He really pissed me off, so I put him in a list of people who I was going to kill off in the WC Saga campaign (as cameo cannon fodder extras). I've done something like this before back in '96 or so, so it wasn't like I hadn't done anything like it before.
Antman argued that his rights were protected because you see . . . Antman had a job. And he has a boss. And he was afraid that his boss would somehow (!!!) play the Wing Commander Saga campaign (assuming he even knew about it), and after seeing a poor cannon fodder pilot named Antman get killed, he'll automatically think that Antman was Mike Kuklinski, law abiding citizen of 15 years old!!!!!!
He thought that the word "Antman" was copyrighted by law. So he threathened "legal reprecussions" if I EVER used the word "Antman" or any derivative of Antman in my works: such as Elkman, Insectman, Elephantman, Assman, Fairyman, Dickman, Gaypornostuntman, etc etc.
But he forgot one little thing . . . Marvel Comics already has a comic series called
Antman out. So if he was to sue me, he would have to sue Marvel Comics.
Whoops.
