Stan Lee: Heromaker

tan Lee is an American comic book creator. He has created many famous

S
comics over the years, and is responsible for some of the most popular
superheroes that we know today. Some of Lee's more well-known comics are:
Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the
Avengers and Captain America.
Lee started working at Timely Comics, which he turned into his own company, Marvel Comics,
and later Marvel Entertainment. He was just 19 when he became an assistant editor and started
writing texts for Captain America. When he was 20, Lee joined the U.S. military. There he spent
most of his time writing manuals, training films, slogans, and even drawing cartoons.
In the 1950s, Lee's main comic book competitor, DC Comics, renewed the interest in comics,
which prompted Lee to create more characters of his own. Lee created heroes that were not
perfect and had human characteristics like vanity and greed. In this first wave of new characters,
Lee introduced the world to the Fantastic Four, a group that often argued with one another, the
Incredible Hulk, a man whose temper was uncontrollable, Iron Man, a businessman who was at
times greedy and selfish, and finally, Spider-Man, a young man who wanted to help make the
world a better place, despite his own limitations. The change from the idealistic superhero to the
more realistic hero helped the average reader identify with the characters more. Throughout his
career, many of his comics have been developed into films, and he also started his own
company, Stan Lee Entertainment. He has also appeared as a character in many comic books,
made appearances in films and TV shows and written an autobiography. In 2007, Lee received
perhaps the highest honour a comic fan could: an action figure was created in his likeness and
debuted at Comic-Con International.
