A criminal lawyer doesn’t know much about IP law and hires someone else for help. This makes sense. ---

I was in a rather cheap toy store once that was selling “Call Off Duty” [sic] merch. Was sorely tempted to buy some. Note that in the end credit sketches she’s hold an “Avongers” mug in an evidence bag. ---

It did raise a question-what legal separation is there for She-Hulk vs. Jen Walters? Up till now except for Spider-Man no one’s really had a secret identity, or not that we’ve seen (it can be argued no one really knew Bruce Banner was the Hulk). Should Jen have told him? Could Steve Rogers (or Iron Man) be sued for what Tony Stark did (or vice versa)? And why the heck is Matt Murdock on the West Coast? > [@Andy\_L](#): > > A criminal lawyer doesn’t know much about IP law and hires someone else for help. This makes sense. She didn’t hire someone else. She just didn’t represent herself. ---

> [@cmkeller](#): > > I don’t see any evidence that he’s on the West Coast, Looks like the designer was going to ship the helmet. Which is itself interesting since it implies he’s well-known enough to order a helmet. Or maybe the designer owed him a favor. (Or maybe it’s Matthew Murdock). ---

So, have any of the usual suspects complained about the casting of a black woman to play Mallory Book (who is white in the comics)? Or is she too obscure a character? ---
