Marvel still beat them to it  Embarrassed

BTW, it is not clear if DC actually owns Captain Marvel or just has the exclusive license.

I might be wrong here, but didn't Captain Marvel originate from a different company as a sort of competitor to Superman (in terms of sales, not actual crossovers)? There was some sort of dispute between DC and that company about copyright infringement, and DC eventually bought the character from them (or something...). Perhaps this was before they got the character, and they were doing exactly what the accused the other company of doing (stealing a character)!  Tongue
