    Am I crazy or did Thor: The Dark World copy my villian?

    Am I crazy or did Thor: The Dark World copy my villian?
    Of course those are not mutually exclusive.

    I just watched the Trailer for Thor: the dark world and I was hit with a big deja vu. From what I heard in the trailer it looks like the villian in the movie closely matches something I created as a villianious character for Mutants and Masterminds, a superhero roleplaying game.
    I'd like to know what you guys think. Is this a coincidence or am I being ripped off?

    The Trailer starts with Anthony Hopkins as Odin saying, "Some believe that before the universe there was nothing. They're wrong. There was darkness, and it has survived."

    Here is the plot premise from the wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor:_The_Dark_World

    "Set one year after The Avengers, Thor battles to save all the Nine Realms from a mysterious enemy older than the universe itself."

    This is my write up of the character from 2008: https://midnightslair.com/forum/show...-VIII/page3#29

    Before the universe began there was oblivion and the Darkness, and the Darkness was content. Eons passed and the Darkness existed, pleased with the knowledge that the Darkness was all there was. Then in the briefest faction of an instant the oblivion was no more. The universe sprang forth and created a stain that spread throughout existence. The Darkness was displeased, but in an instant it realized that this stain, this universe, was but a mere bubble. It would expand and collapse upon itself. The darkness had but to wait, and soon the Darkness would once again be all there was.

    But a cancer grew upon the stain. Matter organized itself and gained primative complexity, life, intelligence. This could not stand. Unlikely as it was, the Darkness knew that intelligence was a threat, a threat that could find a way to halt the collapse. The threats had to be extinguished.
    Maybe I am crazy, but that sounds damned close to what I wrote. I wonder if I could do anything about it?

    The 'bad guy', Malekith, was created in 1984.

    Malekith is the leader of the forces in question, I believe.
