Marvel acknowledges Gerry Conway as the creator of Mindworm

[The Overlord]

Look how generous Marvel is, acknowledging Gerry Conway as the creator of "Mindworm"

That's clearly the most important character he ever created, I mean what other characters did he create, some nobody named Frank who wears a skull T-shirt? Clearly Mindworm is only thing Conway created that was worth acknowledging.

Mindworm sounds a lot cooler than some Death Wish rip off.

Mindworm sounds a lot cooler than some Death Wish rip off.

But which one brings in more money and is more well known? I guess Conway will have wait to get residuals from the upcoming Mindworm TV show, movies and video games then, huh?

Also I have read people say batman is a Zorro rip off, so there are tons of comic book characters who you can argue started off as rip offs. I think Punisher has moved beyond that status long ago.
