I hated teenagers in comics because they were always sidekicks. And I always felt if I were a superhero, there's no way I'd pal around with some teenager, you know.

More quotes by Stan Lee
Your humans slaughter each other because of the color of your skin, or your faith or your plitics -- or for no reason at all -- too many of you hate as easily as you draw breath. - Magneto
Stan Lee
To my way of thinking, whether it's a superhero movie or a romance or a comedy or whatever, the most important thing is you've got to care about the characters. You've got to understand the characters and you've got to be interested. If the characters are interesting, you're half-way home.
Stan Lee
I have to force myself to get angry. But I want to show the world that there's another side to me, that I am capable of deep, deep anger and fury. They better watch out for how I'm treated.
Stan Lee
People like stories that are bigger than life, about characters with unusual powers. And when you get all the characters in the zodiac, it's so colorful, and it's so rich in different attitudes that the characters have.
Stan Lee
It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.
Stan Lee
I want to get that same feeling that everybody logging on to our website is sharing a little bit of an inside joke, and the rest of the world is oblivious to it although I want to have most of the world.
Stan Lee
These stories of people with unusual powers and unusual appearances, who do unusual things, people are always fascinated by them.
Stan Lee
With great power comes great responsibilty.

Some people will say, Why read a comic book? It stifles the imagination. If you read a novel you imagine what people are like. If you read a comic, it's showing you. The only answer I can give is, You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?
Stan Lee
I enjoy the fact that we have these mobile comics now, which are sort of a cross between a comic book and an animated cartoon.
Stan Lee
Everybody is excited about their projects and I'm excited too. It's not like working. It's like playing with your friends. When I was a kid, I'd say to my mother, Can I go out and play with the kids now? Now I'm out playing with the kids all day long.
Stan Lee
When I was a kid, I loved reading Sherlock Holmes. Now, you don't think of him as a superhero, but he was so damn much smarter than anybody else.
Stan Lee
I think there's the element of the excitement of what I'm going to see, and with the special effects where you see men flying and walking through walls and shooting flame or whatever they do, especially the younger audiences, which make up a bulk of the moviegoers, they love that sort of thing.
Stan Lee
Ideally, anything one writes should have a social conscience: if you can write a story that thrills, and with a good message, that's the perfect type of a story.
Stan Lee
People are pissed off about the seemingly impossible goal of social mobility. their proposed solution is to take the wheels off the cart.
Stan Lee
Comic books are just a way to show a story. Then there are the movies, and television and exhibits like this that take the stories and make them seem so realistic. In the comic book, you're just reading a story - hopefully a good, exciting story that whets your appetite for all of this stuff to come.
Stan Lee
I enjoyed reading Batman, and Superman, and all the super ones, but I never wished I created them. I've got to let there be some work for other people!
Stan Lee
Negative information is that which, immediately upon acquiring, causes the recipient to know less than he did before.
Stan Lee
I think superheroes are bigger than life and they're very colorful.
Stan Lee
Some people are able to not only entertain the public in any way that they can but also in some way to throw in some sort of inspirational message with the entertainment. I have always tried to do that with whatever I wrote. And I'm sure that a lot of other writers do, too.
