Well, do the myriad of spider-men, barney the dinosaur, sponge-bobs that host children’s partys have the right to charge for their services? No, they all work for free! Guaranteed they don’t all have permission from licensees. When you buy a trademarked item at a store, it is IMPLIED you can wear the thing, isn’t it? Besides, where can one see a defined LEGAL explanation of this so called “ban”? Can my kid wear his spidey jamas down the street, is he suddenly a criminal too. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, BABY!
Because 50, 75, or 90 percent of people who DRESS A CERTAIN WAY are criminals, does not in our country legally support a BAN on everyone! HELLO>!L!

I wouldn’t be surprised if half the heroes try to fight this and break the law. And the other half tries to stop them. Then there could be an all out Civil War between the Heroes.

And could you get a licenses for a business to dress up as a copyrighted super hero?

Why not just get a business license? Doesn’t seem that difficult.
