Sign at the "X": Tribune Entertainment on Thursday sued Marvel Enterprises for $100 million, claiming the publisher made "fraudulent and negligent" statements that doomed the syndicated "Mutant X" series.

Yeah, like the acting and scripts didn't sink that ship.

"Tribune alleges that it has lost millions of dollars defending itself after 20th Century Fox Film Corp. sued two years ago to stop Tribune's planned TV spinoff of two comic book series, Marvel's 1963 'X-Men' and 'Mutant X' in 1998," the Los Angeles Times reports. "Fox also held rights to the mutants, producing a hit movie, 'X-Men,' with Marvel in 2000." (Link courtesy Journalista!)
