Who was Stan Lee and why he was famous ?

Stan created an animated one season wonder for Spike TV, Stripperella, that starred Pamela Anderson. The show wasn’t renewed for a second season, something Anderson was happy about. In an interview with Vulture, Anderson simply commented, “Stan wanted nudity, I didn’t.”

After graduating from high school at age 16, Lieber was hired as an editorial assistant for Timely Comics, and in 1942 he was promoted to editor.

By that time he had begun writing comic-book scripts for Timely as Stan Lee, a pseudonym that eventually became his legal name.

Lee admitted that when he created Iron Man (and Tony Stark) that the character was designed so audiences not relate to him and even dislike him.

In the 1940s and ’50s—during which time the group, later named Atlas, struggled financially—Lee created several comic-book series, including The Witness, The Destroyer, Jack Frost, Whizzer, and Black Marvel.

In 1961 Lee and artist Jack Kirby created The Fantastic Four, about four astronauts who gain superpowers after a cosmic incident.

The series made him and Atlas—now known as Marvel—major forces in the comics world.

In 2001 Stan started POW! Entertainment. The Company is a multimedia development and licensing company that creates and licenses animated and live-action fantasy and superhero entertainment content and merchandise, leveraging the creative output and branded image of Stan Lee.

The History Channel launched the series “Stan Lee’s Superhumans” in 2010, which documented people with extraordinary skills and abilities. The show was moderately successful but was cancelled four years after it first aired.

One year later Lee and artist Steve Ditko created Spider-Man. Lee, Kirby, and Ditko adopted a collaborative workflow that came to be known as “the Marvel method.”

Stan partnered with the NHL in 2011 to form Guardian Media Entertainment. The company creates superhero characters for each NHL hockey team. The promotion was also short lived, but thanks to the internet, the heroes are available for your viewing pleasure.

The technique gave artists significantly more input on story plotting, and it allowed Marvel to produce new content at a dizzying rate.

The books joined a roster of increasingly successful series that also included The Incredible Hulk. Lee and Kirby added another winner to the group when they created The X-Men in 1963.

A distinctive feature of Lee’s comic-book heroes is that they combine superhuman powers with human insecurities and emotions. Marvel continued to prosper, and in 1972 Lee became publisher and editorial director of the group.

Although Stan is known for his midas touch, not everything he has done has been a hit. For one example theres Dragons vs. Pandas, a children’s book targeted at the Chinese market. There’s also Stan Lee’s Hero Command, a mobile game where you play as a super hero you’ve never heard of.

Then there’s his Backstreet Project, a comic book and web series featuring the members of the Backstreet Boys.

HIS WIFE WAS ALSO HIS BARBER.
As a bit of a throwaway fact, Stanley Martin Lieber (Stan Lee) revealed the secret of his slicked back mane on the second page of his memoir. “My whole adult life, I’ve never been to a barber,” he wrote. “Joanie always cuts my hair

After working for Marvel in an official capacity for nearly 60 years, Lee began to pursue other projects, and in 1999 he formed Stan Lee Media, an Internet entertainment company built around his creations.

HIS CONFIDENCE CAME FROM HIS MOTHER.
Lee wrote that as a child he loved to read books by Mark Twain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and others, and his mother often watched him read: “I probably got my self-confidence from the fact that my mother thought everything I did was brilliant.”

Eventually his role at Marvel became that of chairman emeritus.

Lee’s new firm did well with its first project, an animated online series called 7th Portal, which featured aliens who enter Earth through a “7th portal”—the Internet. After this initial success,

YOUNG STAN LEE WROTE OBITUARIES.
Before writing about the fantastic lives of fictional characters, Lee wrote antemortem obituaries for celebrities at an undisclosed news office in New York. He said that he eventually quit that job because it was too “depressing.

however, the company was beset by a number of lawsuits and corruption charges. It filed for bankruptcy in February 2001.

CAPTAIN AMERICA WAS HIS FIRST BIG BREAK.
A week into his job at Timely Comics, Lee got the opportunity to write a two-page Captain America comic. He wrote it under the pen name Stan Lee (which became his legal name) and titled it "Captain America Foils the Traitor’s Revenge." His first full comic script would come in Captain America Issue 5, published August 1, 1941.

In 2004 Pow Entertainment was established for Lee’s various new characters and franchises.
