POW 2 Companies:POW INC and POW LLC, and how the STAN LEE UNIVERSE Joint-Venture was formed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POW!_Entertainment
POW! Entertainment Inc. is an American media production company formed in 2001 by Gill Champion, Arthur Lieberman and former Marvel Comics editor and publisher Stan Lee. POW! is made up of two companies: POW! Entertainment, Inc. (POW! Inc.), a holding corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, POW! Entertainment, LLC (POW! LLC) and is currently owned by Camsing International Holding.
POW! productions include the 2006 Sci Fi Channel's TV-movie Stan Lee's Lightspeed, that network's reality television series Who Wants to Be a Superhero? and the Stan Lee's Mighty 7 media franchise. Other productions include the direct-to-DVD animated features Stan Lee's Mosaic and Stan Lee Presents: The Condor.
History
In November 2001, Stan Lee formed POW! Entertainment, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with Gill Champion and Arthur Lieberman.[3][4] POW set up their offices at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's headquarters in Santa Monica, California as a first look deal was negotiated in April 2002 by Lieberman with MGM and Cheyenne Enterprises, Bruce Willis's and producer Arnold Rifkin's production company.
Lee created the risqué animated superhero series Stripperella for Spike TV's The Strip animated block which premiered on June 26, 2003. POW! also had a dozen additional feature and television production agreements by July. Three of the films were in preproduction: Nightbird, The Femizons then with writers Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman and The Double Man, then under development by Training Day director Antoine Fuqua. A production agreement was signed by POW! and Idiom Films for Forever Man, an avenging hero type with a twist. Meanwhile, the company signed with DIC Entertainment on a TV series production deal starting with Stan Lee's Secret Super Six, about teens with alien superpowers who are taught by Lee about humanity. The in-development Hefs Superbunnies animated superhero series was announced by Lee at Comic-Con 2003, which would feature a villain fighting Hugh Hefner and his playmates.
Public corporation
The separate corporation, POW! Entertainment, Inc., is a holding company created so as to have publicly traded stock. This corporation originated as the Delaware corporation Megatek Legacy Systems, Inc., formed August 17, 1998; this became Alta Pacific Minerals, Inc. in 1999, and Arturion Entertainment, Inc. in 2002.[3] By 2004, Arturion' stockholder were Media Dynamics, Inc., owned by Valerie Barth, controlling stockholder, and minority stockholder, UltraVision Inc., owned by Ron Sandman. Arturion was a public shell corporation that was used to acquire POW! on May 5, 2004, with POW! members receiving Arturion shares to take it public on the over-the-counter market "Pink Sheets" in a reverse merger. Arturion changed its name to POW! Entertainment, Inc. Media Dynamics invested $500,000 for 769,250 shares with a subscription for additional shares for $650,000.
In August 2004, he announced a superhero program that would feature Ringo Starr, the former Beatle, as the lead character. Additionally, in August of that year, Lee announced the launch of Stan Lee's Sunday Comics.
In May 2004, IDT Entertainment purchased a minority share in POW Entertainment in an agreement for exclusive distribution rights to POW's animated DVD properties and a joint development of six cartoon films. In 2005, the company announced that another animated film that would feature the voice of Ringo Starr. Also in early 2005, the company formed a strategic partnership to develop a new mobile channel with mobile-streaming pioneer Vidiator, through Vidiator's mobile streaming technology. In 2006, this resulted in an agreement with Sprint Nextel Corp. where the Stan Lee's POW! Mobile Channel is officially listed as Sprint's Channel 70. The channel includes mobisodes with Stripperella, The Accuser and The Drifter.
In 2004, an agreement with Andrew Stevens Entertainment Group and Jeff Franklin of FWE Inc. indicated that POW! and Lee planned to produce three action movies for the Sci Fi Channel, which were to be aired in 2005–2006.[12] Only one movie, Lightspeed, was completed for Sci Fi and aired July 26, 2006.
In December 2004, in a joint venture agreement with Celebrities In Action, a company formed by investment banker Stan Medley (who structured POW! Entertainment's reverse merger earlier in the year and Chris Nassif, President of Diverse Media Group, Lee was to create approximately 25 characters based on celebrities. POW! and CIA were scheduled to commence production in early spring of 2005. In February 2005, POW! Announced a second project with Celebrities In Action called The Fantasy Zone. The new franchise was to introduce a parallel universe where celebrities can go to live out their own fantasies and dreams.[15]
POW!'s president and CEO, Gill Champion said in 2005 that Lee was creating a new superhero film, Foreverman, for Paramount Pictures in tandem with producer Robert Evans and Idiom Films, with Peter Briggs hired to collaborate with Lee on the screenplay.In 2005, Lee and Michelle Rodriguez agreed to develop a Tigress film, based on the Conan the Barbarian comic book villainess.
In 2007, POW! started a series of direct-to-DVD animated films under the Stan Lee Presents banner.[citation needed] The two releases were Mosaic and The Condor.
POW! and Walt Disney Studios agreed to a first-look deal in June 2007.[18] The following year, the first three titles under that deal were announced: Nick Ratchet, Blaze and Tigress, an original concept from the Conan villainess.
On June 9, 2007, a suit was brought against Lee, POW!, subsidiary QED Entertainment, and the former Stan Lee Media staff at POW!.[20] On January 20, 2009, Judge Stephen Wilson, in Los Angeles Federal Court, ruled that Stan Lee Media had illegally transferred their assets, including the Drifter and the Accuser, to POW! in violation of a bankruptcy court order.
In April 2008, Brighton Partners and Rainmaker Animation announced a partnership with POW! to produce a CGI film series, Legion of 5.That same month, Virgin Comics announced Lee would create a line of superhero comics for that company.
On December 31, 2009, The Walt Disney Company's Catalyst Investments acquired a 10% stake in POW! for $2.5 million, coinciding with its full acquisition of Marvel Entertainment.Also, Disney's Silver Creek Pictures entered into another agreement with POW! for first-look and consulting services.
In 2010, POW started reporting to OTC Markets Group and was moved to the Over-The-Counter QB (OTCQB) tier market from the pink sheets. In February of that year, POW! partnered with A Squared Entertainment and Archie Comics to create the Stan Lee Comics print and digital line starting with the Super Seven. On August 5, the reality-television series Stan Lee's Superhumans show premiered on the cable channel History. Also that month, Super7, a toy manufacturer, sued POW! and partners over Stan Lee Comics' Super Seven. Late in the year, POW! and Boom! Studios began publishing three new comic-book series: Soldier Zero, Starborn, and The Traveler. In October, Guardian Media Entertainment, a partnership of Lee, SLG Entertainment and NHL Enterprises, created hockey-themed superheroes called "Guardians" for each of the 30 teams in the National Hockey League. The venture includes a graphic novel.
Ricco Capital and Panda Media Partners, a joint venture of POW! and Fidelis Entertainment, formed a partnership, Magic Storm Entertainment, in June 2011 to produce material for Asia.[33] In 2011, Lee was writing a live-action musical, The Yin and Yang Battle of Tao.[34] In October, Lee announced he would partner with 1821 Comics on a multimedia imprint for children, Stan Lee’s Kids Universe, a move that addressed the lack of comic books targeted for children. He also said he was collaborating with the company on its futuristic graphic novel Romeo & Juliet: The War, by writer Max Work and artist Skan Srisuwan. In November, POW signed an agreement with YouTube and Vuguru, Michael Eisner’s digital studio, to start a YouTube channel called Stan Lee's World of Heroes. That same month, the company signed a deal with EQAL to create and launch theRealStanLee.com, an official site for Lee.
In May 2012, Arthur Lieberman, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Counsel of POW!, died due to lung cancer.[38] Also in May, POW! filed suit against Valerie Barth of Media Dynamics and Ron Sandman, sole director of UltraVision Inc., for fraud and breach of contract, claiming it is owed $1.15 million for a three-million common stock subscription. Barth, Sandman and their corporations countersued.
In March 2013, Hub Network picked up its first work from POW, "Stan Lee's Mighty 7", an animated pilot movie to be aired in early 2014.
On April 5, 2013, a joint venture that POW! owns with MKC Entertainment, SL Power Concerts, launched its military friendly Stan Lee's POW!er Concert series with country band Gloriana at the Pacific View Events Center, Camp Pendleton, along with future concerts at other military bases, and proceeds going to military affiliated charities. On June 12, POW and JADS International released the Stan Lee Signature Cologne. Legion of 5 was revealed in June to be a live action film at Sandman Studios-affiliated live action label Paralight Films in the casting stage.[43] Arad Productions and POW! are in early development on a new superhero movie set up at Columbia Pictures as of November 2013,which is revealed in August 2014 as Apollo Rising, as it was melded with Red Queen author Victoria Aveyard's script Eternals.
POW! formed Stan Lee Global Entertainment as a joint venture in 2014 with the Hong Kong-based investment firm, Ricco Media Investments Limited. Ricco Media was purchased by Focus Media Network Limited on August 20, 2015. POW! also announced two Chinese projects in October 2015: Realm, a superheroine movie and the first film from Stan Lee Global Entertainment, and Arch Alien, a sci-fi movie.
Disney's second and final project under the first look deal with POW is The Zodiac Legacy book series, with the first book to be released through Disney Publishing Worldwide in January 2015. However, the first look deal agreed to in 2006 and extended in 2009 was allowed to expire as of December 31, 2014.
Digital Domain announced a joint venture company 25% owned by POW! was announced in January 2015 for development, production and international distribution of project from either owner. Also part of this deal is the creation of a virtual Stan Lee.
Stan Lee's Lucky Man was picked up in March 2015 by Sky1 to be adapted into a one-hour, 10-episode show, as a POW! co-production with Carnival Films and his first UK drama series.[52] A second season was ordered in March 2016, as it was Sky1's highest-rated original drama program ever.
On July 6, 2020, Genius Brands acquired exclusive worldwide rights to use Lee’s name, physical likeness and signature from POW! as well as licensing rights to his name and over 100 of POW's original IPs. The assets will be placed under a new joint-venture with POW!, called Stan Lee Universe.
Camsing subsidiary
In May 2017, POW! was acquired by Camsing International Holding. Camsing USA vice president Shane Duffy was named CEO while Gill Champion retained the president role.[1] In July 2018, Linking Star Picture was formed as a joint venture of Beijing Film, Beijing Novo United Films, and Hong Kong-based Camsing International. Linking Star would develop five projects from POW! and Chinese superhero movies, with Bob Sabouni, a former vice president of Marvel, consulting for Linking Star.
In May 2018, it was reported that Lee had filed a lawsuit with the Los Angeles Superior Court of $1 billion against POW! Entertainment for “stealing” the rights to his name and likeness, among other complaints. The lawsuit named CEO Shane Duffy, as well as other co-founder of the company Gill Champion stating that both parties “conspired and agreed to broker a sham deal to sell POW! to a company in China and fraudulently steal Stan Lee's identity, name, image, and likeness as part of a nefarious scheme to benefit financially at Lee's expense.” In addition, the lawsuit claimed that the defendants had obtained Lee’s signature illegally in order to obtain “the exclusive right to use Lee's name, identity, image and likeness on a worldwide basis in perpetuity,” against the wishes of Lee, among several other complaints detailed in the suit. In July, 2018, it was reported that Lee had dropped the lawsuit against POW!
Lee died on November 12, 2018.Camsing stated that they would continue to develop Lee's IP in POW despite his death.
In July 2019, Camsing announced that Ching "Vivian" Lo, company founder and chairwoman, has been held by the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. POW! management indicated in a July 10 statement that the company is considered an autonomous subsidiary of Camsing thus is not effected by the event. J.C. Lee, Stan's daughter, announced on August 3 that the Stan Lee Estate would move to distance it from Camsing International and that the estate holds the position that POW and Camsing does not have "rights to Stan Lee’s name, likeness or legacy” given the illegal activities that have been alleged to be going on during the purchase of POW! from Stan Lee.

Genius Brands acquires Stan Lee’s likeness, IPs
https://kidscreen.com/2020/07/06/genius-brands-acquires-stan-lees-likeness-ips/
he prodco now holds the rights to more than 100 properties Lee created, with plans to develop and license seven per year under a new business banner.
By Ryan TuchowJuly 6, 2020
California-based Genius Brands International has acquired the rights to more than 100 Stan Lee-created IPs from POW! Entertainment, as well as Lee’s likeness, under a new brand called Stan Lee Universe.
Terms of the deal give Genius exclusive worldwide rights to Lee’s name, physical likeness and signature, as well as his live-action and animated motion picture IPs across TV, digital, publishing, comic books and merchandising. The company has also acquired the licensing rights to Lee and his creations, excluding the Marvel IPs.
Jointly owned by Genius and POW!, Genius will serve as managing partner of the Stan Lee Universe venture.
Operating under a new dedicated business unit, Genius will have access to the original properties that Lee created, and the prodco will develop and license around seven of them per year. Lee, who died in 2018, was the creator of many characters who have gone on to lead the biggest film franchises in recent history, including Marvel’s The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Genius plans to expand the properties to movie screens, comic books, toys, video games and consumer products worldwide. The prodco will also use the new properties to build out Kartoon Channel!, its recently launched digital channel.
It’s still early days for the new deal, and Genius hasn’t begun development on any projects yet, according to a spokesperson.
This isn’t the first time Genius and POW! have worked together. The two companies are co-producing animated preschool series Stan Lee’s Superhero Kindergarten (52 x 11 minutes), which was picked up by Chinese streaming platform Youku, and will premiere on Kartoon Channel! in Q1 2021.
Judge Dismisses JC Lee’s Suit Against Stan Lee’s POW
That Peebledick is talking about this
https://comicbook.com/irl/news/judge-dismisses-jc-lee-s-suit-against-stan-lee-s-pow/
The legal squabbles between Stan Lee's daughter JC Lee and his former company, POW! Entertainment, has reached a new milestone as Judge Otis Wright II of the Central District of California dismissed J.C. Lee's lawsuit against POW! with prejudice. The case -- which centers on whether Lee as representative of the now-defunct Stan Lee Media, or POW! Entertainment, should own the rights to Stan Lee's likeness and intellectual property. Lee's claim centered on a claim that her father had signed over the rights in perpetuity to Stan Lee Media, but Judge Wright wasn't buying it. He sanctioned Lee and her counsel, finding that the case was both frivolous and filed for an improper purpose.
The Court sanctioned J.C. Lee in the amount of $1,000,000, while holding her legal counsel jointly and severally liable for $250,000 in sanctions. POW! is characterizing the ruling as vindication, while Lee's attorneys are furious that they did not get to present their case.
"Stan Lee, a superhero in his own right, served to inspire the everyday hero," wrote Wright in his order. "The Court urges parties to treat his legacy with respect and cease engaging in meritless litigation."
"The courts decision to deny Stan Lee's heir the opportunity to Present her case to hold His Ex partner, Gill Champion and Vivian Lo's Camsing international , the Chinese criminal enterprise that hijacked POW Entertainment from its shareholders, accountable for its abuses Is Profoundly disappointing," a representative for Lee told ComicBook.com in a statement. "The extreme financial sanction Imposed by the court for the Estate's effort to protect Stan Lees legacy From Control and exploitation by an ex partner that Stan Lee detested and a Chinese Company That used his name to commit a billion dollar fraud in China is incomprehensible."
Since the start of her feud with POW!, Lee has alleged vague "criminality" on the part of the company, but neither Champion nor anyone else associated with the company has been charged with anything relating to Lee. It seems likely that she is trying to revive arguments made in a lawsuit that Stan Lee launched and then dropped in the last year of his life. When Camsing bought POW!, Lee had claimed that POW! ownership and Camsing had conspired to "steal" his name and likeness. There was no explanation for his decision to drop the suit but with context it seems likely that he was satisfied when he discovered that in spite of the new ownership the organization continued to operate independently.
"We feel vindicated by the Court's decision today," said POW! in a statement. "Stan purposefully created POW! eighteen years ago with me as a place to safeguard his life's work. Before he passed, Stan was adamant that POW! continue to protect his creations and his identity after he was gone, because he trusted that we would safeguard his legacy for generations to come. We promised Stan that POW! would respect and honor his wishes, and that's exactly what we are going to do. We are happy to finally put this ugly litigation behind us and move on to preserving the legacy of this great man and developing the large inventory of intellectual property he left behind. POW!'s commitment to honor and preserve Stan Lee's legacy has not and will not waver."
JC Lee had previously sought to sever ties with Camsing, the Chinese firm that owns POW! Entertainment, alleging "criminality" on the part of the firm. POW! fired back, saying that since Stan Lee Media no longer existed and the statute of limitations for any claims had expired.
In the last years of his life, after the loss of his wife and with his own health failing, Lee appeared to be surrounded by people and entities with competing and sometimes apparently criminal agendas.

COMMENTS
Various different representatives for Lee spent months going back and forth with each other, with the police being called to his home at one point. Allegations of elder abuse surfaced not long before his death, and Lee himself appeared to be barely conscious at several convention appearances, with his agents and business partners keeping him busy in spite of what fans thought looked like exhaustion and poor health. At one point, some of Lee's blood was drawn -- perhaps against his will -- to be used in a special printing of a comic that would have had "DNA ink," an echo of something Lee did with KISS decades before. Neither POW! nor JC Lee was involved with that offense, the egregiousness of which called attention to the questions surounding some of the people who surrounded Lee in his personal life. His longtime business manager Keya Morgan was charged with elder abuse, the result of a nearly year-long look into allegations made against him before Lee's death.
Lee herself has been at odds with Lee's various business partners, and appears to have spent some of the time since he passed away trying to get more control over his affairs. Before this, she sued Lee's longtime associate Max Anderson. Among the allegations that Lee's daughter has made in the last year or so is the claim that sexual harassment claims made against the aging comic book writer/editor -- he allegedly groped and made inappropriate comments to nurses taking care of him at his home -- had not been reported to her until they were already in the news.
