Stan "The Man" Lee Former Publisher, [[Category:Marvel Staff/s|]], [[Category:Marvel Staff/s|]], [[Category:Marvel Staff/s|]], [[Category:Marvel Staff/s|]] Captain America Comics #3 Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and many others I'm no prophet, but I'm guessing that comic books will always be strong. I don't think anything can really beat the pure fun and pleasure of holding a magazine in your hand, reading the story on paper, being able to roll it up and put it in your pocket, reread again later, show it to a friend, carry it with you, toss it on a shelf, collect them, have a lot of magazines lined up and read them again as a series. I think young people have always loved that. I think they always will. --Stan Lee (Brandweek, May 2000) Stanley Lieber (he would later change his name to Stan Lee) was born in December 28, 1922 to Celia and Jack Lieber. His ancestry is Ashkenazic Jewish. He is still alive today at the age of 94.
The first issue that Stan Lee ever wrote was Captain America Comics #3. He wanted to leave around the time he wrote the Fantastic Four. The only reason that he wrote the book was because his wife told him "do it your way. The worst they can do is fire you. And you want to quit anyways!" He was the co-creator of such popular characters as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the X-Men, Daredevil, Hulk, Thor, the Avengers, and many more. One of his last creations was She-Hulk. He is also working with Hiroyuki Takei (known for his hit manga series Shaman King) on a manga which seems to be separate from the Marvel Universe, Karakuri Dôji Ultimo. As a major figure of the pop-culture, Stan Lee has featured in many cameos for various creations more or less related to the super-heroes and comics universes. Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance in most of the films based on Marvel Comics since 2000's X-Men. The following is a list of Stan Lee's cameos: Stan Lee is popular yet not recurrent in The Simpsons:
↑ Masters of the Comic Book Universe Revealed!The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildThe Witcher 3: Wild HuntShin Megami Tensei: Persona 5Berserk and the Band of the HawkSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DSBack in 2013, LEGO created a totally amazing game called "LEGO Marvel's Superheroes," where you could play as almost every single iconic hero and villain in the Marvel universe from Ant-Man to Baron Zemo. In January, they'll be following that up with "LEGO Marvel's Avengers," which follows the movie versions of each character through the events of "Avengers" and "Avengers: Age Of Ultron" -- and trust us, it's going to be awesome. Check out the newly released trailer if you don't believe us: Today (October 9), the team responsible for turning our favorite super-team into adorable minifigures assembled at the LEGO Marvel New York Comic Con panel to tell us more about what to expect when this new game comes out in January. However, yesterday, MTV News got the chance to check out our very own private demo of the game (it's okay to be jealous), and we saw some totally incredible stuff.
Here are the highlights: Watching cutscenes in "LEGO Marvel Avengers" is often like watching a shot for shot LEGO remake of the "Avengers" movies you already love, complete with the original lines of dialogue as spoken by the real stars -- with some ridiculous sight gags and dorky jokes added in, of course. It wouldn't be a LEGO game otherwise, right? But that's not all-- in addition to getting to play our your favorite battles in "Avengers" and "Age of Ultron," you'll also be reenacting scenes from a huge chunk of the Phase 2 Marvel movies like "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Thor: The Dark World" as well, and playing with versions of the characters that appear all across the MCU. Remember how Maria Hill was always there to give you a hand in the last LEGO Marvel game? In this one, she's back and played by none other than her live-action counterpart, Colbie Smulders. Both Hayley Atwell ("Agent Carter") and Clark Gregg ("Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.") also recorded brand new lines of dialogue for some of their side-quests, too -- and yes, they're playable, too.
Peggy Carter even has her trademark red hat. Because this game is filtered through the lens of the "Avengers" movies, it's focused primarily on the characters that Marvel still retains movie rights to -- so sorry, Wolverine, but you're probably going to have to wait for the next one. But that's fine by us, because... The Internet is already super pumped for comic book characters like Ms. Marvel, America Chavez, the new Thor and Squirrel Girl, as LEGO announced their presence in the game a few months ago. But there will also be super obscure favorites like Fin Fang Foom or Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy. Heck, Butterball makes an appearance. Do you know who Butterball is? Of course you don't, but he's great. Eventually the game will contain over 200 different characters (not to mention all the different outfits and skins that some characters will have), and the creators of the game tell us that they will keep adding new ones to the line-up -- often times based on what the fans on Twitter request -- right up until the week before the game is ready to release.
That's dedication, right there. The creators of "LEGO Marvel's Avengers" are all about getting you and your friends to switch back and forth between all the characters as often as possible, but now the game developers have added a wrinkle -- every pair of characters has a team-up move with one another, and some of them are wonderfully specific to their actual abilities and relationships in the comics. For example, Quicksilver can throw Captain America around to strike several enemies at once, and Moon Boy can actually ride Devil Dinosaur around. When you weren't saving the day in story quests in the first LEGO Marvel game, you'd spend most of your time Manhattan, AKA the location of nearly every single base of operations for all the Marvel heroes. But in "Marvel's Avengers," you'll have so many more interesting places to explore, like Asgard, South Africa, Washington D.C., and even Clint Barton's cozy little farm upstate. Your characters can also do way cooler stuff in the open world, too;
