A former intern working at Marvel Entertainment is suing the company for unpaid wages, a new report is claiming.

According to documents obtained by The Wrap, Kenneth Jackson claims he was "wrongfully" classified as an intern while working for Marvel from August through December 2008, and is now seeking minimum wage back pay.

Jackson has reportedly filed a class action lawsuit against Marvel Entertainment, LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking to "recover unpaid minimum wages owed." The recovered documents claim that all of Marvel's interns - "in excess of 100 individuals" - during the period were similarly owed.

The lawsuit says that "during his employment with Marvel, the Named Plaintiff worked from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. five days per week" in the second half of 2008.

The following year, Marvel was acquired by Disney for a cool $4.64 billion dollars.
