Stan Lee's super power, to claim credit on stuff he didnt do | Gaia Online | Thread profile

Makes me think: Why??? On like every Marvel comic I own, it always seems to manage to get there, like an annoying stain:::::: "Stan Lee presents", "Stan Lee is proud to present" "Stan Lee's" Why the hell is it there!?!?!?! Why, and HOW is he taking credit for like every comic??? Why is his name always put there... I mean, I don't ...

Given the fact that a good deal of the more modern characters are spin-offs or throwbacks, his name on the product doesn't really ...

If he wrote the issue/story then he has the right to have his name on it. If he has created (or Co-Created) it, then he also has the right to place his name on the issue(s).

They mainly did it as sort of a tribute. To acknowledge that they wouldn't have a lot of their most popular characters without Stan.However they moved away from this trend whenever Stan Lee started doing work for DC (The Stan Lee presents comics mentioned earlier) and Joe Q got his panties in a bunch about it.
