Stan Lee left us one last parting gift that he was working on before he died- a new Marvel character!
According to his daughter, JC Lee, Stan was working on a new character Dirt Man after she asked him if he would write a new superhero without all the “steel” and “clatter” of his previous creations. As an alternative to the shiny and spectacular heroes we are used to she suggested a new hero should get “down and dirty” instead.
JC Lee told TMZ Live: “We have been working on a character called Dirt Man. [He is the] last little angel that we’ve got tucked away.”

JC Lee also announced the new foundation she launched in memory of her father named The Stan Lee Childhood Literacy Foundation.
“The importance of the written word is to not be underestimated. One reason why Stan is ‘Stan the Man’ is he took his craft very seriously and there’s a lot to say to pass on to children about reading and writing.”
It is so heartening to know Stan’s legacy continues, and he is still surprising us even after his death.
