What? Stan Lee embarrassed that he was creating the most iconic superheroes the world has known?
In the last of our exclusive interview with the Generalissimo, we talk about what’s next for the man who doesn’t seem to ever stop. His secret? He loves the world of entertainment and that’s what keeps him going. But believe it or not, he tells us that at one point in his life, he was embarrassed to have people know he wrote comics for a living and not doing “things that mattered.”
Luckily, he realized that his work does matter and now 50 years after his meager beginnings as a comic book writer, Lee has amassed an empire, still creating new superheroes for the 21st century.
Watch as Stan Lee gives us the scoop of what projects he’s working on now!

Janice Kay
Janice's first memories of the genre were of watching the original 'Star Trek' and classic 'Doctor Who' episodes (Tom Baker, aka the Fourth Doctor, was her first). Soon, she was introduced to 'Godzilla' and her addiction then spread to books, magazines, movies and comics. Janice continued as a closet geek as her thirst and love for sci-fi grew and was only second to her love of baking. Then one night, on a whim, she answered a tweet to be a writer for ScienceFiction.com and the geek girl insider her was soon set free. Within 3 years she became the Senior Editor for the site. When not writing or editing for ScienceFiction.com, Janice is scouring the internet to feed her sci-fi cravings while defending conspiracy theories, protecting scientific theorems and loving all things science fiction.... and baking cookies.
