(Los Angeles, CA) Citing prior art, Marvel Comics and Disney Entertainment have filed suit in district court, claiming that using a SNAP to half food benefits infringes on their copyright. “The iconic use of a snap to halve things is the property of Marvel Entertainment, and the trump administration does not have permission to use this property,” read the complaint filed Friday.

Marvel is known for their villain character Thanos, a large leader of a group of thugs trying to destroy half of all life in the universe, in the Infinity Wars saga.
