Only got two bits mixed up
They seethed and buried him, then bought him

>let the trademark expire
>Marvel makes their Captain Marvel and trademarks it
>Fawcett/DC Captain Marvel forever cucked out of using his own name on comics
>Finally gets renamed Shazam

Why yes that shit is retarded. Nobody should own a name.

>copies Superman
>gets sued
get REKT dawg

They can still use the Captain Marvel name BUT not on titles.

>copies Superman
Yeah I guess every character with flight, strength, speed, invulnerability of some degree, and has a cape is MUH SUPERMAN
cope.

Unfortunately the court didn’t know comic book history
1. When Captain Marvel was introduced, Superman couldn’t fly
2. Dr. Sivana was introduced before Lex Luther
3. The Marvel Family of Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr. predate the introduction of Supergirl and Superboy into Superman’s comics

>>outsells Superman throughout the 40s
He didn't, he outsold superman when his serial was coming out, it was months, not years
>>Finally gets renamed Shazam
Shazam is an OC character based on captain marvel, he hasn't been renamed, you will never see an old captain marvel comic being reprinted with the name changed.
