If you draw a picture of spiderman at home, you're not doing anything wrong.

If you sell that picture, you are.
But if you write a story about Spiderman, and the original copyright holder for Spiderman decides to use your story ... there isn't a damned thing you can do about it. They can use your words verbatim and make money off of it.
