Liz Small, Puttin on the Glitz, let me know that it would be unwise to have your photo taken with a child that you were painting as a Marvel character. Disney is very vigilant about the rights to it's characters and images. If you are photographed actually painting their design on a child, Disney could persue you on copyright enfringment. I think I'll start calling these characters other names, such as Spider-guy, and Bat-Boy or something, and change up the design somehow. Facepainters don't have the rights to paint a copywritten image if I understand this correctly. Anyone out there with some legal knowledge?
