From the top of misty mountains, a wise old mystic whose uncle works at Nintendo passes down the old reports, HAST THOU HEARD, THESE FANTASTIC TALES

Word is around the ol' insider water cooler that Stan Lee doesn't even have the rights to his own name!

There's plenty of evidence for that, whether it's his frequent appearances at conventions under the name "Stan Lee", his online presence under the name "Stan Lee", or possibly multiple businesses he has launched in the past couple of years using the name Stan Lee, like Stan Lee's Kids Universe, Stan Lee's Comicaze/Comicon, etc.

Some heretics say that the secret whisperers high in the castle might not know what the gently caress they're talking about, and they're mixing up the entire debacle of Stan Lee Media (a legally distinct entity/name from Stan Lee the Person With the Name Stan Lee) and how some dirtbag froze out Stan Lee from SLM, stole all of the money from SLM and fled the country.

This completely-divorced-from-Stan-Lee-the-person corporation is a bankrupt hollowed out shell that has spent the past decade and a half getting sued and filing frivolous counter lawsuits about how technically maybe they own the X-Men and 20th Century Fox should be paying them, not Disney. They also were selling people licenses to use Spider-Man in stuff despite clearly not owning Spider-Man. They've lost every single case that has been taken to court and this has been going on for fifteen years and all of this is like... right on Stan Lee's Wikipedia page but you know who the gently caress knows, anything is possible and I'm not an insider so maybe Stan Lee is broke as gently caress and has to call himself Lan Stee at signings or something because that's the word on the street.

Stan Lee was taken to the hospital in the 1980s and when they pumped his stomach it was full of two gallons of New Universe comics.

You can map it pretty closely to when Miller's Dark Knight Returns became everyone's touchpoint for superhero comics.
