Success Story of STAN LEE (The man behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe)

The man behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Stan Lee.

He grew up in Newyork city in a poor family. His familly struggles for money because his father was unemployed most of the time. Stan Lee understands his family situation and decided to work when he was in high school. He did many jobs since high school: he was an office boy, he used to deliver sandwiches, he was an usher and many more.


As a child, he loved to read and write books and his mother always support & motivate him. She always used to give good compliments to Lee.

“I probably got myself conference from the fact that my mother said everything I did was brilliant. I always assume I could do anything. It is incredible how much that has to do with your attitude.”


When he was 17 years old, he was hired as an office assistant at timely comics that would later involve into marvel comics. At the start, he had the most mundane job. Like feeling Inkwells, go down and by lunch for everyone, erase pages and proofread. His determination and willingness to do Something in his life was incredible. He always works hard no matter how small it is. Soon he becomes an interim editor for the company. With baby steps, he started his journey to begin building a universe of characters that everybody loves.

He created fantastic superheroes iron Man, Hulk, X-Men and many more. But one time he almost quit. His publisher asked Lee to come up with the new superhero.


One day he saw a fly on the wall and thought what a fantastic thing. It would be great if a superhero could stick to walls and crawl on them. And this is how Spiderman was born.

Stan Lee wanted to do Something Different with this character.

He was so excited to share this great idea with his publisher’s office. But the publisher reaction was totally unexpected. They said, “that is the worst idea, have ever heard”, “first of all people hate spider can’t call a book Spider-Man. Secondly, can’t be a teenager, images can be only sidekicks. And third, he can’t have personal problems if he is supposed to be a superhero.” Don’t you know who a superhero is?


Stan Lee feels devastated and wanted to quit. But Something incredible happened, Company magazine didn’t sell well it was about to shutdown. They were releasing the last issue for the magazine. Nobody was caring about what would be on the last cover. So Stan Lee stands for the company and put spider Man on the cover.

Just because of the cover of the magazine people started buying the last magazine. People love that character because it was totally inspected character. It became so popular that is publisher fell in love with Spider-Man.

With his powerful imagination and hard work, Stan lee transform marvel comics from a small publishing house to a billion-dollar brand.


If you have an idea that you genuinely think it’s good, don’t let it go .
If there is Something that you feel is good Something, that means Something to you, try to do it. Because you can only do your best work if you are doing what you want to do.
Whatever you do give it your best shot, you’ll be glad you did it.
