'One of the goals with "Secret Wars" was to bring elements of the Battleworld locales over to the main Marvel U once the event was complete -- not just for my series, but for all of them. I thought the Quiet Room would be a great addition to the MU, because I couldn't think of anything else like it -- essentially a crossroads for all types of people. [It's] a neutral ground where heroes, villains and regular people could all hang out and, if necessary, work through their disputes.' - Charles Soule

Astro City #33 - "Permanent Record"

[laughing_tree]

"Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe are different characters. Tim Hunter and Harry Potter are different characters. Derek Shepherd and Doug Ross, yeah, you got it, different characters. If you’ve got a cool new take on some preexisting character, you may be most of the way toward having a whole new character instead. You don’t need to ask permission to refurbish some company-owned character, but only to the point they’ll let you, and give away all rights. Take those cool new ideas further. Make them into your own character. You wind up with control and ownership. No one can tell you what you can and can’t do with it, and you get to reap the benefits." -- Kurt Busiek
