Disney Gets Stan Lee To Make Some Stuff

ASSEMBLEStan "The Man" Lee, co-creator of enduring Marvel properties like Spider-man, X-Men and the Fantastic Four, and his company POW! Entertainment have inked a deal with Disney to create new content and a host of new super characters.

Stan's new superheroes—with colorful names like Doubleman, Thunder Rider, Nightbird and Blaze—will be developed for films, television, books and, of course, video games, reports the BBC.

While Stan's recent creations, like Stripperella, Lightman, and re-imagined versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman for DC Comics, weren't exactly on-par popularity-wise with his previous work, we'll have to wait to see what he comes up with before mocking him for it.

Ah, I'm just teasing old Stan. If I can come up with my own name when I'm 85, I'll feel pretty damn proud.
