liger is actually registered and i wuld have to say that the Japanese comic industry is just as big as marvel. There wuld only b a lawsuit if Liger was used in reference to a lion/tiger cross and not just a name. Liger was originally concieved for the overseas market who struggled with the concept of a japanese name.

liger's are well known for their skills and magic, much moreso than a tigon. liger gets the thumbs up, despite that show where people battled in animalistic robots where the main character had a liger. for the life of me, i cannot remember what that was called.
and NS, besides the recent issue of cable and deadpool where HoM-sinister described why the name Cable was fitting for the baby, has it ever been explained why nate took that as his "askani" codename?
He didn't exactly take it as his name. It was given to him by the Askani Sisterhood established nearly 3,000 years in the future by Mother Askani a.k.a Rachel Summers. ( ASKANI'SON #1-4. Lobdell/Loeb & Gene Ha. ) He was then christened the Askani'son since he was the only male, aside from Blaquesmith, to uphold the teachings and philosophy of their Sisterhood which trained in various telepathic and telekinetic exercises.
liger, specifically mentioned as a combination of a lion and a tiger, had a small part in a mormon college student's film project in 2004. said project evolved into a movie many of us know and love/hate, known mostly as "napoleon dynamite." you find me an MTV v. the people of Japan lawsuit filed because "liger" was said on-screen, and i'll give some merit to your faux-threats of a lawsuit.
and i'd always assumed cable'd been labeled the askani'son first, and chose cable as his "codename" the same way aliya had chosen "jenskot," though for different reasons. go figure...
and if you picked "night owl," disturbance, you might sound like a bit of a "john," if you catch my drift.
