Stan Lee, b. 1922
Spider-Man, 1996
Stan Lee's Spider-Man, created in 1962, was one of the first teenaged superheroes and exhibits many of the characteristics of an angst-ridden adolescent. Unlike the calm and confident Superman, "Spidey" is the epitome of a conflicted hero, nerdy and love-sick for the girl next door. This does not diminish his popularity; in 2011, Spider-Man placed third in "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time" on the online media entertainment site IGN. |
