Specimen one: Black Panther http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/b/blackpanther.htm
T'Challa, probably the most popular black non-mutant superhero out there. King of Wakanda, huge wealth and vast technology, he is often found fighting crime in the US.
Now, cue possibly THE biggest act of comic-related Plagarism I can imagine since Rob Liefield made Fighting America.
MC Hammer's - WorldHit Films announces their PANTHER film project has finished the script stage and pre-production will begin as soon as financing, distribution, and talent deals are in place. The film is expected to be budgeted at under $30 million.
The script, written by their head of Creative Development, Lance Dow, is based on a story by MC Hammer and Dow. Hammer and Dow will also produce.
The story with elements of Batman, Spiderman, and Daredevil revolves around a wealthy and reclusive Chicago heart surgeon and comic book buff - who dons a night-time alter ego of a Panther-suited, motorcycle-riding, martial arts-using crimefighter.
The character uses specialized equipment such as firing retractable panther claws to scale buildings and take out his adversaries, specialized pistols that fire immobilizing high-tech curare injecting darts, highly-sensitive listening devices in his ears to seek out trouble and hear adversaries movements, specialized contacts that allow him to see in a variety of spectrums with super-zoom capabilities and the ability to interact with satellite imagery from his own imaging and GPS satellite. He also maintains a deep underground high-tech command center in a rusting industrial area of Chicago where he keeps tabs on Chicago as well as sharpens his fighting skills in a special room where he battles holographic opponents.
Hammer had this to say about Panther. "This is really the first serious, fully-developed, stand-alone, African-American Superhero that is also a role model - to be created for film. We created him from the ground up and placed him in the visually exciting world of Chicago with its mixture of Old and New Architecture. When he and the villain's female sidekick COBALT battle from their motorcycles from twin-towers 40 stories up, the audience will be blown away. It's like a John Woo sequence at 500 feet above the pavement. We believe this is a franchise character and hope to expand into other African-American superheroes.
WorldHit Films works through a global film fund for films budgeted at $25 - $60 million and is awaiting final green-lighting of their FIGHTING MEN film. Their co-production BLUE PLANET with partner, NW Studios USA, is currently being packaged for the major studios. The partners are also discussing WorldHit's Hulk/Spiderman-like DEMON character.
First, MC HAMMER? :lol :lol
Second, how many days do you give this before Marvel sues their collective butts? :lol
Trust me, I think they CAN touch this ;)
