Stan Lee was the nephew (by marriage) of the publisher of Marvel comics. He always takes credit for creating the Marvel comic book characters, Spider-man etc. This is a Lie. Those characters were created by Jack Kirby, the artist who drew them. Later Lee started a comic book on line company , he was suppose come up with new heroes. It bombed.
Peter Paul was one of the backers of this company and there was some shady stuff going on there. I believe there were some articles posted about this here on freerepublic.
