Editing Malekith (section)

==Trivia==
* His title is apparently a rip-off of the [[Nazgûl|Witch King of Angmar]] from [[the Lord of the Rings]].
* Sports the same name as Thor villain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malekith_the_Accursed Malekith the Accursed], who too is a Dark Elf king. There's contention regarding who came first, as Marvel's Malekith first came to light in 1984, one year ''after'' Warhammer Fantasy was relased and on the same year first Dark Elf miniatures were released, but GW's Malekith was (debatably) introduced/mentioned in the 4th edition High Elf armybook released in 1992, and he wasn't playable until the 4th Edition Dark Elf book in 1994. Controversial questions like [[original character, do not steal|"who stole from whom?"]] and "are they are the same person and the universes are connected?" [[Skub|are better left unasked]].
** Whatever the case, Games Workshop decided NOT to be bullies and backed down (less likely out of altruism and more likely because Marvel comics is also a big international company; they could afford to take GW to court even ''before'' coming under Disney's umbrella), renaming Malekith as Malerion.
