NCsoft, Marvel Settle City of Heroes Suit

It's good to see that the lawsuit Marvel filed against NCsoft's City of Heroes has finally been settled.

The lawsuit, first filed over a year ago, originated over Marvel's complaints that the game's robust character creation toolkit allowed users to violate Marvel superhero copyrights with lookalike characters and powers... 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.
