The former dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega, has filed suit against Activision Blizzard Inc. for a character that portrays him as “a kidnapper, murderer and enemy of the state” in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

The suit was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court; Noriega, 80, who is currently serving 20 years in Panama, is seeking lost profits and damages and claims that his likeness within the game has boosted sales.

According to the Courthouse News Service, Noriega claims: "In an effort to increase the popularity and revenue generated by BLACK OPS II, defendants used, without authorization or consent, the image and likeness of plaintiff in BLACK OPS II.

"Defendants' use of plaintiff's image and likeness caused damage to plaintiff. Plaintiff was portrayed as an antagonist and portrayed as the culprit of numerous fictional heinous crimes, creating the false impression that defendants are authorized to use plaintiff's image and likeness. This caused plaintiffs to receive profits they would not have otherwise received."

Noriega claims the video game portrays him "as a kidnapper, murderer and enemy of the state. An objective of one portion of 'Black Ops II' is solely to capture plaintiff."

The 13-page lawsuit continues: "Defendants' video game, 'Black Ops II,' features several nonfiction characters, including plaintiff, for one purpose: to heighten realism in its video game, 'Black Ops II.' This translates directly into heightened sales for defendants.
