Stan’s last soapbox
Hey there True Believers,
You might have heard some
sad news about me recent-
ly. You’ll probably have
heard even more
about all the things
I created years ago
that you still en-
joy. I want you
to know that I’m
okay. I got to help
create, with artists too
numerous to name,
an entire universe that
will live on in comics,
games, cartoons and movies. It
was a good run, but I wanted
you to hear something from me
before we say goodbye.
I created a lot of heroes in
my lifetime, they fought evildo-
ers across dimensions with fi sts
and teamwork, but that was just
what I had to do to get your
attention.
It’s what I wrote about that
you should remember:
Any power comes with re-
sponsibility (Spider-Man).
Be as smart as you can in
whatever you do (Iron Man).
What do you call a boomerang
that goes away and
never comes back?
Love your family of choice
as fi ercely as you love your
mom and dad (Fantastic
Four).
Use your power
and your smarts and
your love to help
others, even when
they don’t look like
you (X-Men and
Black Panther).
That gods, too, are
imperfect (Thor).
And even monsters
may have a heart of gold
(Hulk).
All of us, even heroes, are
given a short time on this plan-
et. But heroes of all shapes and
sizes are kept alive in the hearts
and minds of the people they
inspired long after they depart.
Heroism starts with kindness. If
you see an ant on the ground,
step around it. If you see some-
one fall, help them up. If you
see someone who is lonely, ask
them about their day. We need
heroes now as much as we
ever did in the days before Pe-
ter Parker and Tony Stark. I’m
counting on you to carry my
message forward. Starting today,
I want you to live heroically.
Excelsior,
Stan “The Man” Lee
