7. Stan Lee Formed POW! Entertainment in 2001
After retiring from Marvel, Stan Lee paired up with Arthur Lieberman and Gill Champion to form a media company called POW! Entertainment. Lee used the company to continue his own creations, some of which were more risqué than would have been permitted at Marvel Comics. Some of the television shows that came out of POW! Included “Stan Lee’s Lightspeed,” “Who Wants To Be a Superhero?,” “Stripperella,” “Hef’s Playbunnies,” and “Stan Lee’s Mighty 7.”
