An anonymous reader writes "In a recent CBR interview about his new
continuation of the Marvel comic-book series 'Invincible Iron Man,' Matt
Faction provides information about the the new series (debut will be May 7).
The villain is Ezekiel Stane, son of Obadiah Stane (the villain of the new
Iron Man movie opening on May 2). Whereas Obadiah was a ruthless billionaire
who fought as the Iron Monger, Zeke 'rejects the strategies of his father as
being the crude tactics of Attila the Hun.' Instead, he will be 'a
post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological
terrorist.' As the author puts it, 'Windows wants to be on every computer
desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop.' The
concept has gone over well on the CBR forums."

looks like open-source is penetrating comic based films. although not sure i
agree with its context.

"They are the fear within all of that there is a company. The Corporation
controlling everything that is Umbrella.
A combination of Microsoft and the US Military. At some level there is a
board of directors who meet once a
month and decide all of our fates."
