Nope. When it comes to anyone using Public Domain heroes, you have to look at their "newer" versions as essentially brand-new characters that carry their own Copyrights. Anything that's added or altered, in this case DE's costume changes for Samson, are part of their Copyright, and using that as the basis for your version of Samson would be considered Copyright Infringement. | |
