Well it seems that two of my younger brothers are famous here in the digital world. Or more famous.
[attached, recordings of a TV show called... Megadude Z and Xerox. It's kind of corny, but very well drawn in fact Megadude Z and Xerox look really familiar.]
Actually, this is a rather common issue that plagues new heroes in my world that don't read the information that they're given with their registration with the city.
That is to say, if you haven't registered your likeness with a trademark office, you're fair game. An enterprising company can (and has) seized your likeness for their own production. In MY world, the companies that do this generally set aside paltry royalty checks for the hero, and if those checks aren't claimed, they're donated to whatever charity the accountants want to toss them to. And since they're under no obligation to notify the hero that these checks exist (or to even pay them in the first place), it's really no skin off their backs and a nice little tax writeoff.
In other words... You might want to get your butt over to Neon City and get yourself an agent to represent your interests. Oh, and hope that the news has been giving you enough coverage to prove that you're a publicly identifiable figure.

...still, there has to be some law about basing this off us by not PAYING us.

They could've drawn X, I mean Megadude Z, as some muscle bound jerk.

You don't think this show will catch on, do you?
Who's making it anyway?
