<p>Stan Lee is a towering figure in the domain of comics. He began working for Marvel in the 1940s and transformed the field by helping create superheroes with human character traits and troubles. They were vulnerable, they bled and hurt. This was in stark contrast to DC's gods like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, who were inapproachable and godlike in their indifference to common people.</p>

<p>However, do not expect the documentary to explore the controversial side of Lee, since it is Disney, which owns Marvel, that is producing and distributing the film. A recent biography titled 'True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee' by American journalist Abraham Riesman ruminated on the darker side of Lee in some detail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his entire career at Marvel, Lee was beset with allegations of taking credit for characters that he did not contribute to. The accusers included giants like Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby. Kirby was supposed to have created Marvel superheroes like Thor and Fantastic Four with Lee (as per Lee), but Kirby rejected that in 1990.
