    Marvel doesn't hold trademark on "the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - the original holder, John of Patmos, hasn't been around to defend it for something over a thousand years, so it's in the public domain these days. Now, if you were to specifically copy the comic-book characters who have gone by those names, then you've got problems. Similarly, merely having a character named "Thor" might not be a problem - unless you gave him long blond hair, a winged helmet, and a costume like the one Jack Kirby originally designed back in the day. (Mythologically, Thor should be a redhead with a thick beard, dressed in furs; his helmet, if any, doesn't seem to be mentioned in the eddas, but the winged design popular with operas seems to be pretty much ahistorical.)

    if a mythological thor were to have any kind of helmet, it would likely be a berserker helmet - a.k.a. the helmet with the horns, which doesn't seem to have a proper nordic name...that i can find after a quick jaunt through bing, anyway​​

    That's because it's made up. Vikings didn't really have horned helmets. After all, would you go into combat wearing a helmet with giant handles for the enemy to grab?

    The word "berserker" comes from the Norse "berserkr," referring to the bearskins they wore to supposedly give them bear strength. Hear the word "bear" in there?

    Easy, you just stick horns on the common peaked helmet that lots of people used.
    only-existing-viking-age-helmet-norway.jpg?w=700&h=756
    This, I believe, is the only actual viking helmet ever found.

    History.com says this:
    Forget almost every Viking costume you’ve ever seen. Yes, the pugnacious Scandinavians probably sported headgear when they marched into battle, but there’s no reason to believe it was festooned with horns. In depictions dating from the Viking age—between the eighth and 11th centuries—warriors appear either bareheaded or clad in simple helmets likely made of either iron or leather. And despite years of searching, archaeologists have yet to uncover a Viking-era helmet embellished with horns.

    ...

    The popular image of the strapping Viking in a horned helmet dates back to the 1800s, when Scandinavian artists like Sweden’s Gustav Malmström included the headgear in their portrayals of the raiders. When Wagner staged his “Der Ring des Nibelungen” opera cycle in the 1870s, costume designer Carl Emil Doepler created horned helmets for the Viking characters, and an enduring stereotype was born.

    The word "berserker" comes from the Norse "berserkr," referring to the bearskins they wore to supposedly give them bear strength. Hear the word "bear" in there?
    actually... ber(bear) + serk(shirt) + r(suffix indicating that it's a person)

    So a literal translation would be: person wearing a bear shirt. Bear hides were kind of a status symbol for them. Bears are big and scary. Thus people who know how to kill bears aren't particularly common. Not super rare, but not every hunter was willing to try it.
    now here's an interesting quandry...if someone were to make one or more of the four horsemen in CO, would that get them in trouble with marvel or DC (and cryptic by extension since CO is their game), even though i believe both companies have their own versions in their respective universes?

    i don't think the horsemen can be trademarked at all because they're figures of mythology and religion - the specific appearances, maybe, but not the horsemen themselves​​
    Well, the four horsemen concept is public domain, but the War/Famine/Pestilence/Death thing is different from the original source(War/Conquest/Famine/Death).

    i prefer the modern horsemen...Conquest steps on War's toes way too much because it's a similar force

    though, to be fair, War, Famine and Pestilence all step on Death's toes because they all lead to death​​

    That's fine, but the reason you mentioned has nothing to do with reporting. You said you respect a healthy imagination more than a ripoff. That's great. That has nothing to do with reporting people that break the rules.

    Well, in the original, none has a proper name. Conquest and War are descriptions, and Famine's nature is a bit ambiguous. A literal reading would seem to be "food scarcity" which isn't necessarily famine. (a denarius was a silver coin and worth about one day's wages and is shown in a scenario where it will buy just enough food to feed people for a day) Death is said to be the embodiment of death but it's not actually a proper name. The original Greek uses the word thanatos but it also uses the word thanatos for deadly diseases, aka "pestilence". which is a description of what Death creates.

    More appropriately, at least in the day and age that I collected comics, Thanos loved the Cosmic force named "Death" (who depicted "herself" as female) and did attempt to woo her.

    However, as he wasn't a cosmic being, said attempts failed. Till he got the Infinity Gem set and formed them into the Infinity Gauntlet, at which point his first act as a being "with cosmic levels of power" was to kill half the universe, instantly, for Death. However, since it was all "unnatural" deaths, she declined to go out with him, and at the same point the heroes all came in and wound up saving the day (with a touch of help from Thanos' self-sabotage...)

    Also at one point Death got annoyed at Thanos and declared that he was never to die so that he would never get to see her in person. Yeah, Thanos tried THAT hard to impress her... and failed miserably. Apparently he went around mass-murdering so many people that Death got irritated at the disruption of the natural order.

    so where did the helmet come from, then? a design like that doesn't just come from the ether - it had to come from some old illustration or tomb​​

    I really hope you don't actually believe a word of what you just said. Its common knowledge that horned viking helmets are a myth. Specifically it dates to 1876 with the first bayreuth festivals production of Der Ring des Nibelungen. In short, those helmets are a matter of poetic license and victorian romanticism about vikings

    I don't really follow comics anymore, and the last movie based on a comic book that I saw was Dredd 3D (as in Judge Dredd). Before that were Batman Rise and Ironman 2.

    Anywaste, regarding Death, Thanos and Deadpool. There is a bit of a love triangle going on there. Thanos attempted to woo Death, but Death rejected him and made him immortal so that they will not meet again. On the other hand Death and Deadpool had a thing for each other and that made Thanos extremely jealous. I believe Thanos had one of his minion cast a curse Deadpool so that he is immortal (extremely potent regenerative abilities to the Nth degree; cut his head off and it will regenerate). That way Death and Deadpool can never be together.

    Since Thanos lives far away from Earth and has been made immortal by Death, there is no point for Deadpool to seek revenge against Thanos. Besides, it seems Deadpool has no problems being immortal.

    And there's also the fact that Deadpool is written as a character that can break the 4th wall in the comics; meaning he knows he is a fictional character. That carries over into the movie.

    Based on a spoiler filled review of Deadpool, there is a scene where Colossus tells Deadpool that they need to go speak with Professor X. Deadpool's paraphrased reply is:
    Which one? Steward or McAvoy?

    And there's also the fact that Deadpool is written as a character that can break the 4th wall in the comics; meaning he knows he is a fictional character.
    That's actually part of his insanity. He believes that he's a comic-book character, and that all his internal dialog takes place in little yellow boxes above his head. (In one panel of his comic, Deadpool thinks something, and another character says, "We can hear you, you know." He replies, "Oh, are my little yellow boxes broken again?")

    This is echoed with the villain Foxbat in-game in CO, when you save him in the tutorial and he runs off calling for someone to tell a GM to move him to a different spawn point.

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
    The Force is united within me.
