Growing up as a neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie comic-addict, I can't convey how happy I am now to see Stan Lee get to realize his brilliance in front of a global audience. Marvel comics in the 1970's weren't just comic books. They were brilliant stories with complex characters. I was literally addicted. The writing was way above grade, and the animation (most of the time) was stellar. You can only imagine how badly Lee wanted to see his characters shown on the big screen in a significant way. Bravo!
Stan Lee, he taught me everything about Super heroes and mutants, heck he wrote the books! I remember Stan in his younger days in the 90s, back when he had brown hair. Stan Lee, is a great comic book writer, I hope he will continue to inspire upcoming super heroes for generations to come. X-men were always my favorite.
According to Steve Ditko: "That is the total of Kirby's Spider-man 'creation.' That is what he 'created,' brought into existence - five un-used pencilled pages of an unfinished story... Almost all of the bits of this 'creation' (the scientist, magic ring, etc.) were discarded/never used. So what is left of the 'original creation'? A name, a teenager, an aunt and uncle."
spider man was definitely one of the very first superheros who actually had flaws and normal everyday problems. of course today, that's considered normal and necessary, but it might not have been if it wasn't for stan lee. ^^
While moving through a cosmic storm in his experimental spacecraft, a writer is bitten by a radioactive spider, and crash-lands back on Earth into the heart of a gamma explosion. Seeking a cure for his various afflictions, he journeys to a strange land, but only becomes a master of the mystic arts as well. By default, he accepts an invitation to teach at a school for gifted youngsters, where he is given the code name of Living Legend. Stan Lee presents: HIMSELF!!! Happy Birthday Stan & many more
We are in same boat, pal! But with the willpower you will be able to publish your comic too someday! (In my case it was specially hard, because I live in Finland and in here most of the people really don't even like superhero-stuff.) Give them time! Cheers for comic-makers!
Having been accidentally blinded by one of those rambuctious mutant kids, the Living Legend leaves their school. Using his new radar-sense, he discovers an ancient war hammer, and is worthy to lift it. With its power, he forges an indestructible circular shield and a cybernetic suit of armor. When not spending free time with his statuesque green girlfriend, the Living Legend becomes the most versatile crimefighter in the universe! Marvel Comics presents: STAN THE MAN!!! More movie cameos, Stan.
@MrBlazerblaze well i dont look at it like that, i look at hes had a long and great life and even though hes old now, he could still live for some while longer, hes 89 now who knows he could live into his 100's i doubt it but imo anyone who reaches 85 or over is lucky plus he has ALOT of money to help with his health which is a good thing, hes had a great life and hes made many other lives special with his comics and characters
Ditco and Kirby made the magic, Stan had the ideas and an uncanny sense of marketing. It's a shame that the first two don't get as much credit as Lee, but antagonizing him like it's the trend these days isn't fair either.
That is understandable I guess if Stan thinks violence is dis-tasteful. I think that only applies to, real life situations. VIolence in any kind of art form doesn't bother me, you have fun with slasher films. In some films they want you to take it seriously, like letting you reflect on a characters actions. Overall I kind've disagree.
@Brady2k10 Thank you! That means a lot to me! One of my superheroes is a guy, whose legs has been amputated when he was a kid, but many years later he was exposed to a radioactive fuel. Because of that, his other muscles became incredible strong! When his beloved physiotherapist was killed, he made himself amazing Fighting-Prothestic legs, and a costume, then he wasn't just a man without legs... He was The Prothesis!
Stan's story about the Kid Colt "Puff of smoke" is a great explanation as to why America must FIGHT against government run health care. Sorry for injecting that in a comic comment, but for goodness' sake, when I see insanity I talk about it.
@DashHedgehog unless they are calling you gay in a litteral homosexual way (meaning they actually think you are homosexual and mean that with what they're saying), you should take it as the old english definition*wiki*: It was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy". Or if you want to shut them up, you could reply to their "gay" taunts in a forcefull and serious manner saying you are Bi (still allowing you access to girls, but throwing them off).
So when Stan is talking about violence because Im am very sure he's read ww hulk and old man Logan but never the less Stan Lee is one of my favorite people on this planet nuff said
"I don't like stories where children are harmed or mistreated." "I don't like stories where men take advantage of women." AMEN! Nowadays it feels like comics are more about who can be more violent, shocking, and offensive. And that's fine if you're talking Watchmen, Punisher, adult graphic novels for mature audiences. However, I do not nor have I ever wanted to see a 17 year old girl be tortured to death (Stephanie Brown, "Wargames") in a Batman comic. Know the line between action and violence!
@MustyMarkus1 For games back then, there were poor ones too. Publishers, like Ljn, rolled out awful stuff, especially movie licensed games. There was severe lack of thought invested in some. For example, it took X-Men games several tries before finally giving Wolverine permanent retracted claws (see AVGN's review). I think the production qualities in games have skyrocketed tremendously. Companies have a better appreciation for fan-bases. There's still crap, but it's better than how I remember.
JACK KIRBY is the true main figure for Marvel. If you think Kirby was just drawing Stan's ideas you need to look at the facts. Kirby joins Marvel and shortly after, they have a thousand new and inventive characters. Kirby leaves Marvel and creates an entire universe of characters for D.C., many of which are still huge. Stan, at this time, QUITS WRITING. Jack comes back to Marvel and creates more characters that are still quite big. The facts are undeniable. Stan was good but JACK WAS THE KING
@DashHedgehog what are your superheroes? you could be the next stan lee! dont worry about your friends, you are a hero because you do what you love despite your friends mocking you, alot of people wouldnt give up, me im a young guy but ive grown up watching spiderman and batman and others and i love the comics, i would love to work at marvel or dc, and i could care less what my friends say, if its nerdy to like comics then im a big nerd
Welp, although a lot of people, including some American comic writers, find violence 'distasteful', it still exist in our world. You'll find in maybe manga that violence is always emphasized. It really is all about opinion, although extreme violence may be more realistic, a 4 dimensional world, like today we don't care about the fourth dimension. Just the first three. Marvel really does emphasize action more than anything, which is still entertaining.
its a shame more people don't read the comic books. i guess when the majority of people think of MARVEL or DC style comics they automatically put up the 'nerd' signs.
Jack co-created Spider-man as well. Jack drew the first appearance. However, Stan does deserve a lot of credit, BUT Stan Lee getting more credit than the artist and ESPECIALLY WHEN JACK WAS THE ARTIST, is like giving a screenwriter more credit than a director even though the director wrote half the story. And Jack created Dr. Doom as well. It is one thing to say I want this guy named Dr. Doom but who would care without JACK KIRBY'S DESIGN??? JACK BLOWS STAN AWAY!!! And so does Ditko.
I can listen to this man talk all day long.
Me too istg lol

Thank you for the post! You rock!
Stan Lee & Steve Ditko are the fathers of Spider-Man. period.
According to Steve Ditko: "That is the total of Kirby's Spider-man 'creation.' That is what he 'created,' brought into existence - five un-used pencilled pages of an unfinished story... Almost all of the bits of this 'creation' (the scientist, magic ring, etc.) were discarded/never used. So what is left of the 'original creation'? A name, a teenager, an aunt and uncle."

I could listen to him prattle on for eons...
Stan Lee and George Carlin are the greatest speakers ever.
We are in same boat, pal! But with the willpower you will be able to publish your comic too someday! (In my case it was specially hard, because I live in Finland and in here most of the people really don't even like superhero-stuff.) Give them time! Cheers for comic-makers!
"Anybody has the right to try to conquer the world" - Stan Lee
i thin i am getting a new found respect for stan lee even though my comic and super hero days are fading.:)
Stan lee is a boss

@MrBlazerblaze well i dont look at it like that, i look at hes had a long and great life and even though hes old now, he could still live for some while longer, hes 89 now who knows he could live into his 100's i doubt it but imo anyone who reaches 85 or over is lucky plus he has ALOT of money to help with his health which is a good thing, hes had a great life and hes made many other lives special with his comics and characters
dont forget bill everett he and stan created dare devil.
'I dont like storys where some ones head is chopped off' Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh endgame
"(Doctor Doom) always thought he was doing the right thing. I mean, all he wanted to do was conquer the world." XD

cool this video was added on my b-day!
a big puff of smoke? lol ooooh how violent :P
I completely agree! Characters have to be more believable! :D
for theatre class, i´m writing a report and later acting Stan Lee.
The thing about the censors was both sad and hilarious :D
That is understandable I guess if Stan thinks violence is dis-tasteful. I think that only applies to, real life situations. VIolence in any kind of art form doesn't bother me, you have fun with slasher films. In some films they want you to take it seriously, like letting you reflect on a characters actions.

Oh, thank you very much. And it is very cool.
*proudly puts up his nerd sign while wearing a geek t-shirt*
He writes comics about superhero PLUS about life.
he is not the smartest but the most specialist coolest rich old man u could ever meet in ur whole entire life
im a rocker and my idol is carnage he is my favorite villian growing up
ur 100% right.
Thank you!

he had nothing to do with deadpool
Rambo on a Crysis Suit that would be my perfect heroe ^_^
Thank you! :)
'If you make the hero stronger than the villain, it's not exciting'.
How about that, Superman fans?
The thing that Smilin' Stan describes as violent, happens in DC all of the time. Batman! Deadpool owns Deathstroke.
@DashHedgehog They do that because they're too afraid to stand out from the crowd and are threatened by people who do.
@DashHedgehog unless they are calling you gay in a litteral homosexual way (meaning they actually think you are homosexual and mean that with what they're saying), you should take it as the old english definition*wiki*: It was originally used to refer to feelings of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy".

The 2nd dislike is from Robin.

Stan lee 2012-3012
Now I want to go tell a cop I want to conquer the world.
He have always sunglases o.O
Nice
The Hulk...hands down. he would eventually DESTROY the other 2.
"I don't like stories where children are harmed or mistreated." "I don't like stories where men take advantage of women." AMEN!

i like antagonists that are anti hero's
This problem Stan Lee speaks of is so much more relevant today so many problems in Comics Stories are Nonsense Art is Terrible and price💲is Expensive.
the other dislike is robin

Stan Lee Quote:
Batman is just a human with "bat" weapons. He can never beat any superheroes with powers.
All i have to say... Hell with Comic Book Authority!
And Stan Lee believed reading comics was better than reading nothing! lol
And Superman now :)
his real name is Stanley Martin Lieber
nice! screw the haters!
Thanks for your interest, but im afraid it is not in the internet, but im soon publishing an internet comic about a hero called The Prosthesis!
ya!
