Like a transformer, there’s more to Stan Lee than meets the eye. As well as coming up with some of the most iconic comic book characters and making Marvel what it is today, Stan Lee apparently has the strength of Hulk and the web-swinging skills of Spiderman. At least, his Lego videogame avatar does, and that thing’s based on real life, right?
Speaking at Comic Con, Marvel revealed a whole set of new heroes and villains that will be appearing in Lego Marvel Super Heroes.

Stan Lee will appear also, hopped to the nines on powers – wielding the strength of the Hulk and the web-swinging tomfoolery of Spiderman.

Still, this shouldn’t come as a surprise: The Simpsons called it years ago:
Marvel’s Chris Baker said that these characters are “a mere fraction of the characters” that will appear in the final game.
New footage of the game in action was shown, too:
