Doug,
I appreciate your commitment to this issue, but don’t think that reporters have been vigorously pursuing the Hsu matter.

"[Stan] Lee in 2005 filed a lawsuit against Marvel for his unpaid share of profits from Marvel movies, winning a settlement of more than $10 million."
Oopsie. ;)
Heads up Doug... this is a bad link:
SOURCE FOR DOCUMENTS AND THE ENTIRE SORDID SCANDAL
I long for the day you will be remembered as the guy who brought down the Clinton crime family.
Stan Lee, an icon of media itself, was never a smart guy with his financial interests. He was leveraged into a buyout of Marvel for a relative pittance while being threatened with infringement lawsuits every time he forayed into new publishing ideas (costumes, secret identities...it got very foolish). Frankly I’m amazed they let Stan continue having cameo appearances in every Marvel film.
If the man is guilty of wrongdoing in his contributions by all means go after him. I just point out that he’s very disassociated with reality as most of us know it and probably took some bad advice for granted because - all his public life he’s championed truth, justice and the heroic way (nerdy as that may seem). His cable show, “Who Wants To Be a SuperHero” stresses these values over all else and the guy obviously agonizes over choosing one contestant over another on the basis of their positive values.
I can’t believe Stan Lee’s capable of disassociating those values in regard to his real-life actions. I truly suspect this is another case of villainous agents of the Democrat Party snookering another well-off person out of money while leaving them with the “smoking gun”. Shades of Whitewater.
BTTT
