1. Great man, long-enlightened. Did you ever watch his super heroes show from a few years back?

It was a reality show where people created their own alter-ego, super hero and try to accomplish tasks.

It was fun.

4. I'm sure I read that back in 1968. Good to see again.

5. Stan Lee created the X-Men as a metaphor for the civil rights movement.

Stan Lee had great power as a godfather of the comic books genre. And with that great power, he had a great responsibility to educate children and teenagers in progressive ways of thinking way before it was in style. I'll always say that comic books and 1990's MTV during my teenager years are the 2 things that laid down the moral foundations for me to ultimately embrace liberalism in young adulthood.

6. A true mensch.

Excelsior!
