Notes: Charcoal was created for a wizard magazine competition but the legal aspects were never formally worked out leaving the copyright of “Charcoal” in question. When the original creator tried to reclaim the copyright from Marvel the character was killed and never brought back. Also of note is that the “charcoal” character may not belong to marvel BUT his alter ego Charles Burlingame is their original creation and thus copyright of Marvel Comics Inc.
