Stan Lee is the most
creative mind of our time in my opinion. His creative genius
fueled Marvel Comics (MVL) explosive growth, and now Stan Lee is
doing it again with his own company POW! Entertainment. POW! already
has some 40 Stan Lee new contemporary originals that are currently
being developed into movies, TV series, DVDs, video games and
downloadable mobile phone ``Mobisodes''. Stan Lee is the creator and inventor of the modern superhero. A prolific author, Lee revolutionized the entertainment industry by creating compelling characters who, despite extraordinary powers and talents, are none the less plagued by the same doubts and difficulties experienced by ordinary people. Some of his most enduring characters, like Spider-Man*, The Incredible Hulk*, X-Men*, The Fantastic Four*, Iron Man*, Daredevil*, and Silver Surfer*, have transcended from the comic book genre and exploded onto the big screen breaking all time box office records. POW! (Purveyors of Wonder) Entertainment, Inc. is founded by world famous comic book and motion picture icon Stan Lee, together with award winning producer Gill Champion and acclaimed intellectual properties specialist Arthur Lieberman Esq. POW!'s principals, combined, have created, produced and licensed some of the most successful character franchises of all time which have gone on to generate billions of dollars of revenues. POW! specializes in franchises for the entertainment industry, including animation and live-action feature films, television, DVDs, video games, merchandising, and related ancillary markets, all of which aid in the establishment of new and exciting global franchises. Last summer "Who Wants To be a Super Hero" was a big hit on Sci-Fi and the second season starts next week Thursday the 26th at 9 eastern. http://www.scifi.com/superhero November 29th 2007 POW!
