Default DiC and Saban Entertainment fued over Cyber Squad

An Interesting read. It seems Dic wanted to call SHSS ( Super Human Samurai Sybersquad ) Power Boy. And the lead was going to be Jason Zack. So Saban Entertainment felt like they were violating their trademark.

I remember kinda reading about this and I can see why they thought that but whether they would've won in an actual lawsuit is unknown.

It probably was easier to change the name then spend money defending a lawsuit. Its not like Power Boy woule have made them anymlre successful.

Seems like an obvious attempt to copy the Power Rangers Formula! We know it always was but you can't be that obvious about it.

The weren't the only company that tried to get a slice of the American Toku Pie. Tattooed Teenagers From Beverly Hills was another competitor.

No one had the staying power of Power Rangers. But who does in this day and age outside of sports?

I don't blame Saban Enttertainment for being mad. DIC was way too obvious.

Dic would have been stupid to challenge Saban Entertainment. It was already hard enough to rival MMPR. The only take off and that has come close is Ninja Steel.

I can't picture Super Samurai being called Power Boy.
