Yes, a very very very very SMALL sense. The Dark Brotherhood was clearly the Dark Legion, the Nightmare Cage was the Nightmare Zone, Imperator Ix was Doctor Finetevoos...Doctor SharkFin-GRAH-the scary white haired Knuckles, and Shade was CLEARLY Julie Su. And this isn't so much a matter of contract, its a matter of friggin' human decency. Their characters were obviously based on the work of Ken Penders, and they couldn't have the guts to own up to it and put a "Based on characters and stories by Ken Penders". That was the LEAST they could do in my opinion.
