Legal Crisis on Earth-Prime!!!

from Cheeseburger Gothic (emphasis mine):

There was a great story doing the rounds of the sci-tech sites that leaped across into the mass media this week. A guy in the US had gone to court in Hawaii to get an injunction against the new super collider at CERN in Europe.

He was concerned that when the collider fired up we'd all be reduced to strangelet soup. Or sucked into a black hole. Or, and this was got my attention, suddenly exposed to alternate universes.

Who owns Superboy?

The latest developments in the lawsuit between the heirs of Jerry Siegel and DC Comics over the ownership of Superboy (which boggles my mind, as he's supposed to be the same character as Superman, just earlier in life) is covered in a post at The Legion Omnicom

Included is a timeline of the case, and links to court cases that relate to this one.

UPDATE: What’s So Super About Superboy?, an article by attorney, Tom Bondurant (aka the "Grumpy Old Fan") at Blog@Newsarama better clarifies the issues before the court.
