I'm not aspiring to work for Marvel. If anything, I may just go to another publisher for such things. However, the way copyright works is that you cannot claim somebody else's work. If someone else on here comes along and claims my character before I do, all hope is lost, or they could sue me in court for "taking their character." Which is why I'm trying to keep stuff for myself.

I get that it could get big, but before it gets big it needs to get protected. I don't need my non-copywrited stuff to be shared with someone else for their own stories, because they may want to use it. I cannot control people from taking something. In fact, it's pretty risky that I'm even revealing him to the public eye. I shouldn't even be doing that.

Not to mention I haven't even made any comics yet. If you make a story with him before I do, it won't turn out pretty well in the end. Therefore, I need to keep him to myself.

Once Emerald Man is copyrighted, then I can send him out there, because he is protected. People can enjoy his comics without me worrying. Is that understandable?
