Stan Lee：The father of Marvel, went to heaven to find the perfect girl he’s loved for 70 years.

Lately, we lost one of the best dream builders. An ambulance stormed the Hollywood hills and rushed to the nearest hospital. Hours later, the news broke: Stan Lee, the 95-year-old father of the American comics World, left us.

Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther ...

Stan Lee created hundreds of famous heroes.

His comics were published in 25 languages in 75 countries and more than 2 billion copies were issued. Most importantly, he allowed comics to be upgraded from native children's books to adult fairy tales with connotations.

Decades of rival DC sent a message, saying Stan Lee had changed American comics.

He is at the age of 95, the only person in the world who owns the “universe”, and it's worth it in his life.

More importantly, the early death is his own wish. "Don't cry for me, I'm going to meet the perfect girl I've loved for 70 years."

Many people probably don't know that without the perfect girl, there would be no Marvel universe.

In 1947, at the age of 25, he just retired after World War II and returned to New York to continue painting children's cartoons. He had a poor family, sent takeaways, worked as a waiter, and lived by painting children's comics before he fought in the war. Cousin introduced him to the blind date, "I thought about it, I poor, but handsome, so I went."

The girl of the blind date was Betty, who worked as a model in a hat shop.

That day, Stan Lee looked at the address to find the past, what happened next, it’s like "When I was young, I had been sketching out the perfect girl in my dreams."

"The moment I pushed the door open, I saw her. "

However, this person is not the one of Stan Lee's blind date. "Hello, I'm Joanne, a model for this store. Is there anything I can do for you?” Stan Lee blurted out: "I'm in love with you.” The pair fell in love at first sight, and Stan Lee proposed to Joanne at lunchtime.

In fact, at this time Stan Lee had already painted "Captain America," but it was just a children's cartoon at the time. Joanne, a staunch English girl, did not despise him but felt that he was very talented. The two married on December 5, 1947, and were faithful to each other for 70 years.

The two married people are happy and full of life, from the poetry to the philosophy of life. But Stan Lee is getting stuck in a step by step: He loves literature and dreams of creating great novels, but in order to live, he was drawing children's comics.

After the war, the image of the superhero is perfect and single, fighting monsters all day long. "Why literature and movies can show complex human nature, but the plot of comics is so childish!” Stan Lee is ready to resign and switch to doing writing work. In fact, "Stan Lee" is a pseudonym, he had always kept the real name used for literary creation. At this moment, Joan told him that what is important is not the carrier, but the connotation of the story: "You don't want to do anything anyway. Before you quit, why not create a comic that you are satisfied with?"

Thus, "Fantastic Four", known as "the greatest manga in the world", was born. The four heroes in the comics are embarrassed, violent, insecure, and finally defeated their opponents by unity.
It is these shortcomings and setbacks that have brought the distance between superheroes and ordinary people closer, and the results have been best-selling. “It’s so true! It’s not the same as the perfect hero in other comics!”

Since then, Stan Lee has entered the upswing of his career. Even the giant DC, who has always insisted on the perfect man's comic-style, has bowed his head to learn from him. "Spider-Man is always worried about not getting a girl so that readers can see that superheroes also have human weaknesses ..." The Los Angeles Times commented that he was creating superheroes based on "personality" rather than "power."

However, this is not the end of his reform of comics. Stan Lee began not only painting Superman fighting monsters but also joining serious current affairs issues such as the Cold War. The age of the reader is gradually rising, comics are no longer a child's pastime, progressively become serious and decent. "He pushed for a revolution in the comics World," the Los Angeles Times commented.”

Stan Lee, who has a good reputation and money, had become a billionaire, and he lived a happy life with Joan. But he didn't change his mind, the two were together, and they had a martini every night. The reporter asked him how to deal with hundreds of millions of property, he said: "Of course it is in the bank, give to my wife!"

Beginning in the 1990s, Marvel began filming, so the old man began to be a crazy guest. Not only his own guest appearance, but he also brought his wife to come and play. "I have to say that the actresses on the set really don't look good to my wife!"

His wife not only starred but also accompanied his film, which was painted as an official character, Joanne Lee. "My wife is as beautiful as a cartoon fairy, not painting out is simply a loss of comics!" Stan Lee said it was his favorite female character, as for his favorite male character: "Of course it's Iron Man, we're as smart, sweet and gold, and there's a beautiful talented wife!"

The marriage of the two lasted 70 years, showing love in public all day long, but sometimes they quarreled.

Once, Joanne broke the typewriter Stan Lee used when he wrote Spider-Man and the Magic Four. Stan Lee glared at her, and Joanne yelled at him, "So what?” "What can I do? You're my wife. I'm all yours. What's a typewriter?”

Love is so sweet, but it ends. Stan Lee's wife died of a stroke last July at the age of 93. Since then, the portrait of his dead wife has occupied his family's desk. After his wife died, Stan Lee lost his soul, and the whole man was in a trance. First by the falsely accused sexual harassment nurse, then he was robbed by two men. Over the past year, it has repeatedly reported sick news, including pneumonia and vision problems.

Even a company partnered with a nurse and stole the blood of Stan Lee to sell it. The 95-year-old's blood was diluted and made into ink signatures, printed on comics, a book of 500 dollars. The absurd things that make the media feel: " Stan Lee was treated like a prisoner in a prison. He needs a superhero!”


But Stan Lee himself just wants to go with his beloved wife. The reporter had asked him if he was afraid of death, and he replied: Not afraid. I don't want to live well after my friends and relatives die, which is too painful. Now he finally got rid of the painful physical bondage, to go to heaven to see his beloved wife.


"Comics is a fairy tale for adults."

Stan Lee said, "It is my wife who made me create Marvel and become myself today."

Thank you to the two dreamers and created the beautiful fairy tale of Marvel.
