    On the one hand this is a standard stuff in any MMO I've ever played and yet every conceivable variation of Arya Stark, Legolas, etc. exists in them and nothing is ever done about them.

    It's funny that a pirate version of a game that itself was an unlicensed version of the Marvel and DC superhero universes is making a big deal out of this... unless they're just belatedly including this standard TOS bit, have no intention of being more strict with policing it than anyone else, and we're the ones making a big deal out of it.
    Marvel/DC do not own the concept of a Superhero universe.  Champions Online was designed as a Marvel universe, but due to creative differences, they went to the Champions pnp universe, once they got cut loose.  

    Some of the tropes are indeed universal, but that's true for any genre.  Those genre bits do indeed show up in CoH, of course.

    I suspect this is not a big deal, just them covering their asses.

    If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
