Wait is "Fant4stic" even a legally binding Marvel name???
Meaning does Marvel have to even recognize it as one of their IP's by law?
Example:
Can Sony and Fox start calling their films EX-Men, Spyder-man?
Trademarks protect the names of the franchises and character, but the likenesses are also under copyright laws. Because they are using the Marvel fanfare, they are acknowledging that Marvel owns the rights to the characters, not the film rights, but the actual IP rights.
