Woah, dude. Those are pretty strong words. "Wanton"? You might want to consider some over-the-counter chill pills.

More to your point, there's a difference between calling a fictional - non existent - character bad names and calling a real, live person bad names that in no way apply to them.

HEY! Who are you to say who does and does not exist?! Just because she's "fictional" doesn't mean she "doesn't exist", bro!

Um, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it means.

fiction |ˈfikSHən| noun literature in the form of prose, esp. short stories and novels, that describes imaginary events and people.
imaginary |iˈmajəˌnerē| adjective 1 existing only in the imagination
Q.E.D.

1 a : existing only in imagination : lacking factual reality
lack·ing [lak-ing] 1. being without;
fac·tu·al [fak-choo-uhl] 1. of or pertaining to facts
re·al·i·ty [ree-al-i-tee] 1. the state or quality of being real.
So... She-Hulk is without facts to show that she has a quality of being real. Per your own definition.
i.e.: doesn't exist. Sorry.
First off, YOU DON'T KNOW ME!! *snap*
Secondly, I was using the New Oxford American Dictionary (the one on all the Macs) definition: (http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m74/nickmitch889/imaginary_zpsee14c0a9.jpg) So, forgive me for removing extraneous definitions.
Third-wise, all you did was prove that She-Hulk isn't real, not that she doesn't exist. Now, you can define real as follows:
Quote from: New Oxford American Dictionary
real 1 |ˈrē(ə)l| adjective 1 actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed:
But that still does not contradict my stance that since the character exists in the imagination, she thusly exists.
FOURTH AND WITH FINALITY, since you love court cases so much, I point you the case of Cartman v. Broflovski, where it decided by a court that imaginary creatures were real. [source (http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s11e12-imaginationland-episode-iii).]

Except that South Park isn't real, thus the court case isn't real, thus it doesn't count. :D
You just sent the entire discussion into an endless loop. Congrats. :D
I do, however, give you props for being able to quote *some* kind of court case to support your legal argument though. That's steps above and beyond what I'm used to. ;)

In my opinion, you admitted defeat.
