- "Excelsior!"
- ―Stan Lee saying his catchphrase
Stan Lee is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure that appears in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
Description[]
Stan Lee features a Brick Yellow jacket similar to Aldrich Killian's, but with a white button-up shirt underneath. He features brown legs with a grey buckle printed on the hip piece. Stan's hair is both light grey and white. He has a flesh head with glasses, a mustache, bushy grey eyebrows and a smile printed on it. Like Adam West, he is an elderly figure.
Stan Lee's abilities including being able to web sling around like Spider-Man and transform into an "Excelsior" Hulk. When he dies he turns into a skeleton like Wolverine. He can also shoot fire from his eyes, a combination of Cyclops' ability to shoot from his eyes and the Human Torch's ability to shoot fire.
Background[]
Unlike most characters in the game, Stan Lee is not based on a fictional character. Instead, he is based on the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics. He is also known for co-creating numerous Marvel characters such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk and many others alongside Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby. He was seen escaping the Raft along with other villains in LEGO Marvel for unknown reasons. He also shows up multiple times throughout both games' hubs and levels, needing the player's help to be rescued. Rescuing every Stan Lee in each game will unlock him for play. Stan Lee died on November 12, 2018, at the age of 95.
Abilities[]
As the creator of the characters, Stan Lee has over half of the in-game abilities. He can transform into a Big-Fig, and has the powers of Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Cyclops, Human Torch, Magneto, and Mister Fantastic, plus Telekinesis and mind control.
In LEGO Marvel Avengers, Stan has the powers of Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Daredevil; as well as possessing a S.H.I.E.L.D. scanner. He can also transform into an Iron Man-inspired suit (Iron Stan), as well as one based on the Hulkbuster (the Stanbuster).
Notes[]
- In LEGO Marvel Superheroes, Lee has Wolverine's abilities, even though he did not create Wolverine. He did, however, create the X-Men.
- He also has Captain America's powers in LEGO Marvel's Avengers, but also did not create him.
- According to lead designer for Lego Marvel Superheroes, Arthur Parsons, one of Lee's abilities was to sing the theme song of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon, aptly named "Spider-Stan". It was cut due to legal restrictions with the theme's rights holders.[1]
