Even ‘Father Time’ Can’t Slow Down the Amazing Stan Lee

Stan Lee is the godfather of super heroes and at 92 years-old, he could easily retire, but even an archenemy like Father Time can’t slow down the prolific creative genius behind The Avengers, Spider-Man, and the X-Men.

Lee is still conjuring up new characters through his company, Pow! Entertainment, and in classic comic book fashion, the company teamed up with Google’s (GOOGL) YouTube Spaces to create YouTube’s World of Superheroes. The program was designed to discover new, creative forces in the genre.

They invited video creators to utilize specially-made “super” sets at Spaces in Los Angeles, New York, London, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo over the summer and made a green screen for stunts and flying in some locations.

In an interview with FOXBusiness.com, Lee said the next generation of heroes and villains will be “created next door or in somebody’s backyard. Anybody can create it and thanks to the technology and YouTube, anybody can get it so the world can see it.”

The comic book creator plans to share his story-telling super powers with several of the YouTube channels as part of the project and a number of creators will be invited to speak on panels and present their content at Lee’s Comikaze Expo next month in LA.

Like Alfred Hitchcock, Lee has become famous for cameos in silver screen versions of his super hero tales and the nonagenarian also appeared in some of the YouTube videos; Lee even delivered the punchline in SourceFedNerd's "If Superheroes Were Real".
