There were two references to a "comic book project" referring to the mid-1980s. S. Stewart quotes a "comic book project" getting her attention on her website (matrixterminator.com). A White male named Paul Chadwick stated the Wachowski Brothers contact him about a "comic book project" (see Matrix DVD).

I only have vague glimpses of memory. However, I seem to remember an African-American male working on such a project around the same time period. If this rings a bell for anyone, let me know by message.

Here is the crime.  The big companies were screwed out of billions of dollars.  There are two billion dollar loss factors.  First, the big companies increased their expenses by billions of dollars over multiple movies.  Instead of using the technology developed for them, the African-American male writer was squeezed out thus cutting off the big companies from the technology developed for them.  The big company went with the script and schematics.  Then they had to go to a sci-fi company to bring the schematics to movie life.  They never realized that tech was already developed.

The second way the big company lost money is by missing out on being “THE Company” to go to in order to do a superhero movie.  Instead of just making their own movies, the big company would have had the ability to do movies for others.  This increase in revenues can easily be calculated by looking at the big company’s movie expenses. 

That having been said, who caused this evil event?  It could not have been the big company – sharks considered.  There was no profit in it.  Some evil scoundrel did something terrible to the African-American, male writer to make him medically unavailable?  Left for dead?  Some “Cain” to the writer’s “Abel”?
