They won't win.

It doesn't matter that Steve Ditko came up with the personality and costume of Spider-Man. Stan Lee invented the name and the general idea. That makes him the creator as far as the courtrooms are gonna be concerned. I don't know the history on Dr. Strange.

At best, they'll get royalties.
Most likely, they'll get nothing.

Steve Ditko had heirs? Last I knew he had no children and died alone in his residence. He was found in his home two days after death.

For those too lazy to read Marvel/Disney is suing to keep the copyrights from lapsing to the heirs.
