Benny is not Stan Lee - nor should he pretend to be. However, there could be some positive influences from Stan-to-Benny that make him stronger, IMO.

Stan Lee: "When I was a kid, I looked up to Errol Flynn. He was my hero. I used to leave the theater, and I'd have a crooked little smile on my face the way I imagined he smiled, and an imaginary sword at my side, and I'd be looking around for some little girl that a bully might be picking on, so I could save her."

It's not really a far fetched connection between the Red Giant Entertainment and Marvell Entertainment: the Company's CEO and Sole Director, Benny Powell, and Stan Lee, co-creator of such beloved heroes as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Hulk and Iron Man have done some work together. As a writer at Marvel Comics, Benny's first published work at Marvel was What If #77… "What if Legion had Killed Magneto." However, this is not about the proven talent of the Company's CEO as an artist.

Few know that Benny R. Powell, CEO and sole director of the new entity, was the Head Marketing Writer for Priceline.com and the Global writer for IBM's Ad agency. What many do know is that he was the youngest writer to ever make it at Marvel Comics since Stan "The Man" Lee, an icon of comics.

This is nothing to sneeze at and shows some competency - so Benny is not Stan Lee(but I'll take his influence any day) :-)
