Wednesday, what would it be Stan LeeOn what would have been Marvel Studios’ 100th birthday, they announced an upcoming original documentary about the comic book legend’s life. Lee is credited with co-creating Spider-Man, The Avengers, Black Panther, the X-Men, and countless other favorite characters.
