Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which dictator filed a lawsuit over his depiction in the video game "Call of Duty"?"
Manuel Noriega, the former military dictator of Panama, once filed a lawsuit against the game publisher Activision over its depiction of him in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Noriega, who filed the suit in 2014 while in prison for murder, claimed he was portrayed as "a kidnapper, murderer and enemy of the state". Noriega filed suit, claiming that Activision had portrayed him as “the culprit of numerous fictional heinous crimes” and that Activision had infringed his right to his own publicity. The case was eventually dismissed by a judge in California.
