[edit] Highlander Lawsuit: Rumor or Reality?

Anybody got something to back this up as reality, or should we change this page so that it describes this as rumor? I've found UXN to be pretty reliable, but also I've been unable to locate any specifics via Googling either --El benito 18:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

While I am not sure on a lawsuit, it should be mention that many people feel as if the externals were ripped off, or patterened off, of Highlander. -- Hellmark 06:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Only if a source can be found to substanciate that. CovenantD 06:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

A not-so-quick google didn't find any sources, nor did a trawl of the main comic news sites. I can believe that legal action was feared by Marvel, or possibly even threatened - but without evidence there's not much we can say (and we certainly can't claim legal action was in progress...) --Mrph 22:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

The Gideon (comics) page still includes this claim in the main text... Mrph 18:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
