You cannot trademark common words, as in anything found in the dictionary. So despite DC having a character named Firestorm, they don't own a trademark for the name... just his likeness. "Phantom," "ghost," and "captain" are all common words recognized as public domain and thus cannot be trademarked. Trademarking words can be anything made up (I know, they're all made up). If a slang word does not appear in a recognized published source of common words, such as a dictionary, it could very well be fair game. This is why Superman is one word instead of two. "Super" and "Man" are both common words, but "Superman" is a made up word by jamming two words together into one, and thus trademarkable and off limits.

So, don't anyone try to create an Ubermensch character with a big U on their chest.

Apogee Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I haven't played many Dominators so I started to think about playing one. The first name I came up with for my new Dom surprised me when it was available, Perignon. Now I need to figure out a fitting power combo. Maybe something chilled? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDitko Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Tonight I got one I figured there was no chance, but I gave it a shot. At least the 10% of players who visit the Forums might get it. A Mercs/Traps Mastermind called: General Discussion (Just on Torch, though so feel free!) 1 Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor.

Make the costume huge with a fish tank head. Or go with female body style and max most of the sliders...and a fish tank head. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming...

EmmySky Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 So I was fighting something on some mission in DA and the foe was named Hua Tov, which naturally, looked like Hug Toy on my itty bitty target window to my old eyes. Of course, now I have a new alt, Hug Toy. She's super friendly, I swear! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoulVileTerror Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 You should bring Hug Toy to Everlasting, @EmmySky, and see if Softest Bumblebee is around in General Chat. They love to give hugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
