The EFF is keeping copies of various Marvel v. NCSoft pleadings here. It appears Marvel has filed a Second Amended Complaint, and NCSoft has responded with an amended Motion to Dismiss.
I haven't done a line-by-line comparison of the previous and amended pleadings, but it seems the major difference is the inclusion of exhibits introduced by Marvel to demonstrate the "literally thousands of infringing Heroes roaming the streets of Paragon City at any given moment." (See the Complaint, para. 40.) NCSoft has moved to strike certain portions of the exhibits because it claims Marvel created the infringing heroes itself. (See the Motion to Strike.)
In other news, Penny Arcade and Slashdot chimed in on the issue, as did commenters here (152 at last count). PvP Online has series of strips depicting a trial & mistrial, complete with star witnesses. And game girl advance has a feature where Steve Bowler does his best to make some Marvel heroes.
While it is interesting to read all these gut reactions, it is important to remember that copyright and trademark are complex statutory regimes and determining infringement under either isn't simply a matter of what is called to mind when we see a superhero with a cigar and claws that go "snikt." In other words, intellectual property is not simply about one's general sense of the ethics of free-riding or misappropriation. I'll stop at that -- if you're curious, my lengthier thoughts about the social interests served by trademark and copyright law can be found here (with certain digressions on V.C. Andrews and the Monkees).
