On 12 November 2018 one of the greatest artist left the world leaving alot of us in pain and may his soul rest in peace. But is he really who we think he is? People have this idea of Stan as a kindly old grandpa who “created” everything [and that’s why] Marvel puts him in the movies. But that’s simply not true.
If you didn't know, there are seven deadly sins that can get you a one way ticket to hell - they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth, Imma let you decide the sins he made. And here are few reasons why we think Stan might be golfing around with the devil right now.
As you know Stan Lee was an American comic book writer, editor, and publisher. He was the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, and later its publisher and chairman, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation. But how it all start?
let's dig up a little, Stan with the help of his uncle Robbie Solomon, Lee became an assistant in 1939 at the new Timely Comics division of pulp magazine and comic-book publisher Martin Goodman's company. Timely, by the 1960s, would evolve into Marvel Comics. Lee, whose cousin Jean was Goodman's wife, was formally hired by Timely editor Joe Simon. It was during this time when Captain America was Created by cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, though most of you thought Cap. was created by Stan, cant blame you for that cause Stan never gave credits to the artists he worked with.
Anyway,Lee’s entry into the Timely Comics made a lot of changes in the publication. Stan patiently waited for his opportunity to get to the top, it was then when Simon and his creative partner Jack Kirby left late in 1941, following a dispute with Goodman, the 30-year-old publisher installed Lee, just under 19 years old, as interim editor.With the success of the Captain America character, Simon said he felt that Goodman was not paying the pair the promised percentage of profits, and so sought work for the two of them at National Comics Publications (later renamed DC Comics).
This was the very opportunity Stan was looking for, He turned Goodman against them and Goodman eventually told Simon and Kirby to leave after finishing work on Captain America Comics #10. Kirby had a bitter falling out with Lee and Marvel in 1970, as Lee courted the press and the publisher backed away from promises of royalties. Kirby started to do solo comics for DC, which gave Kirby the title King of Comics

Comic books are always evolving, and that the same story can be told and retold a million different ways - just as long as the characters stay the same color and gender as they were when they were created.
Or at least that's what Stan Lee told Newsarama in 2015 when there was a dust up about the possibility of a black Spider-Man. "I wouldn’t mind, if Peter Parker had originally been black, a Latino, an Indian or anything else, that he stay that way. But we originally made him white. I don’t see any reason to change that.” We're going need a bigger YIKES!
Lee had sued Marvel three years earlier for not fulfilling the terms of his employment contract. The subsequent legal manoeuvring created a tense situation for Lee and a public relations headache for the company he had helped build. He won and he got a shitload of money, the right to be an executive producer on every Marvel film project that he was associated with as a comic, forever, and a cameo in any movie. Now you know why he is in all marvel series.
He didn't create all Marvel Characters but lee got a cameo in marvel series like Captain America and others though the real creators didn't. Stan you cunning fox or is it really him doing all this? During an interview, Stan Lee told the Daily Beast that his daughter Joan Celia Lee inherited his mind for business. “Maybe a little more after me, because she’s more interested in the way things work in business,” he said. “But she’s incredibly like her mother.”
When Joan Lee died in 2017, J.C. was left to handle most of her father’s finances. “For years, J.C. and Joan were very protective of Stan’s finances,” said Kirk Schenck, J.C.’s attorney. “He was the creative type who preferred to delegate the management of the family’s money. Since her mother’s death, J.C. has had to operate alone to combat multiple men who descended on Stan in an effort to attach themselves to Stan and his various businesses and to manage his affairs.”
In April 2017, Stan Lee’s former business manager Bradley J. Herman accused J.C. of not only being verbally abusive towards her parents, but on at least one occasion, physically abusive as well. Herman told the Hollywood Reporter that he witnessed J.C. shove her mother Joanie before grabbing her father by the neck and slamming his head against the back of his wheelchair. So maybe it wasn't Stan who was being greedy, just maybe he was forced by his own blood.
Ever wanted to be his personal assistant?! Well the last assistant he appointed sued Stan and his family for mentally and physically abusing him.The assistant claims that after a meeting with boxer Manny Pacquiao fell through, Lee ripped into him, saying that the assistant was a "f*cking idiot," and that everyone who worked with him thought he was a "f*cking assh*le." Not cool Stan, Not cool!
During the height of Lee's fame in 1975, he pitched a comic to Playboy that would be drawn by John Romita, an Eisner Award winning artist who worked on The Amazing Spider-Man among other massive projects. According to Romita the comic would have featured characters named “High Priestess Clitanna” and “Lord Peckerton.”
If that's not enough to turn on your creep alarm, there was the animated one season wonder that Lee created for Spike TV, Stripperella, which starred Pamela Anderson. The series followed a curvaceous woman who was a pole dancer by day and a superhero by night, and the tone and animation leaned towards titillating. In an interview with Vulture, Anderson simply commented, "Stan wanted nudity, I didn’t.”
Stan had no idea what it was like to give credits to artist who worked with him or even collaborated with him on different projects, he wanted all for himself. The pain of those artists who got torn off by Stan, I feel them. In the 2007 documentary about Steve Ditko, hosted by Jonathan Ross, Lee stated that he believes he, and not co-creator Steve Ditko, is the only person with a claim to the legacy of Spider-Man.
"I really think the guy who dreams the thing up created it! You dream it up, and then you give it to anybody to draw it!" Lee said. When Ross brought up the fact that "if it had been drawn differently, it might not have been successful or a hit," Lee countered, "Then I would have created something that didn't succeed." Cant blame why Lee was part of a scheme to rob investors.
Leaving all this behind he was a good guy, not a great guy but good. He did make mine and most of yours life better. Lots of love you creepy old man, may your soul rest in peace. Ow you think he might be watching you read this from hell? you never know, Do let us know through your comments below.
