Legal Battle
Originally called Plasm, the title was changed after Marvel Comics threatened Defiant Comics with a lawsuit over a similarly titled property, Plasmer.
Jim Shooter changed the name to Warriors of Plasm to avoid any further legal issues with Marvel. Defiant Comics, however, still wound up defending themselves in a court battle with Marvel over the name.
Defiant Comics won in court, but ended up spending over $300,000 in legal fees to defend itself. The loss of capital would help lead to Defiant's eventual collapse.
