Re: Another movie SHEEP game: SHEEPERHERO II
There seems to be an elephant in the room. Count Dooku is taking exception to the popularity of Black Widow, so let's get this out of the way.

There's a reason I don't play these games. I would have received zero points on about a third of these questions.
No love for Famke Janssen as Jean Grey?

I'm just catching up with this thread since my Internet service was interrupted for a couple of days.
I was sure I'd come in last place with my answers - but I can still get there.

Men in Black is a Marvel property, this is not in question.
Both Judge Dredd and Men in Black are stories about uniformed government agents who use futuristic weaponry to fight superpowered criminals. Edgar fits the criteria of a supervillain.

I'm prepared to defend this answer. Judge Dredd was accepted as superhero property, but not a Marvel or DC Property.

I'll open the floor up to the Sheep for debate ...

"Ah, this. It gets complicated. Men In Black was a creator-owned property, created by Lowell Cunningham and came to Malibu as an unsolicited pitch. I’m pretty sure Lowell signed Malibu’s standard creator-owned contract that was just for publishing rights, letting the creator retain movie/TV/licensing rights.
It was initially published under the company’s Aircel imprint and I don’t think any issue sold more than a few thousand copies. Six issues were published – two sets of 3 (and a compilation of the first three). After the publication of the last one, any and all rights Malibu had reverted back to Lowell.
When Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald wanted to option the property (following a visit to the Malibu offices), Lowell made a new deal to relicense his rights back to Malibu.
While the movie was in development, Marvel bought Malibu and any rights that Malibu then had – as a result of Lowell’s new deal – to Men In Black went with it. The decision to have the credits read “Based On The Marvel Comic” was because Malibu wasn’t going to exist, Marvel was then the actual company of record (one of the rights of being the purchasing entity), and Marvel was publishing 2 new Men In Black comics as movie tie-ins (and would’ve published a new series if those comics had done better).
Marvel and Scott Rosenberg may get some kind of payday from the movies as part of a negotiation from way back, but Men In Black is really owned by some combination of Amblin Entertainment and Sony/Columbia.
I don’t believe that you’ll see a Marvel or Scott Rosenberg producer credit on the finished film – neither shows up on IMDB’s extensive credit list for MIB III. I think Scott’s only “credit” on any MIB film was as part of a “special thanks” crawl at the end of the end credits to MIB I."

The second film said it was based on the Malibu Comics Series. I don't remember if the third said anything like that.

Re: Another movie SHEEP game: SHEEPERHERO II
MIB aren't superheroes, and I believe my above link proves they're not Marvel affiliated.
You might as well accept something like Road to Perdition or A History of Violence if MIB makes the cut.

According to Tom Mason of Malibu comics (the company that bought the company that originally published MIB, which was then bought by Marvel), MIB is owned by some combo of Amblin and Sony/Columbia:
"Ah, this. It gets complicated. Men In Black was a creator-owned property, created by Lowell Cunningham and came to Malibu as an unsolicited pitch. I’m pretty sure Lowell signed Malibu’s standard creator-owned contract that was just for publishing rights, letting the creator retain movie/TV/licensing rights.
