As crews were working to film an action sequence for Marvel's upcoming blockbuster "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" nearby, protestors banged loudly on their drums trying to gain attention for their cause. The group, based out of California, alleges that Marvel Studios is taking millions in tax credits and then exporting U.S. jobs for the movie's musical score.
According to a pamphlet that the group was passing out, they accuse Marvel of hiring foreign musicians in Europe and paying them "under the table and on the cheap, robbing U.S. musicians of their jobs."

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.

When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
