It was reported today...

It was reported today that Disney will be purchasing Marvel for $4 billion dollars. As quoted from WIRED:

The Walt Disney Co. is in the process of buying Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion in cash and stock. The deal would give the Mouse House ownership of Marvel’s 5,000 superhero characters.

If Disney doesn’t neuter Marvel’s stable of superheroes — a colorful and expanding universe with deep pulp roots and characters that have proven to be extremely popular over the years — the deal could help the comic book giant extend its recent Hollywood success and expand its overseas operations.


Here's my prediction: Disney will neuter Marvel's stable of superheroes. I have devoted this blog to how they will do this.
