When I was a boy, like many of my peers, I was enthralled by the exploits of superheroes like Superman, Batman and Spiderman. As time went by I grew out of these fictional characters and mostly forgot about them. Now, as I listen to my grandson enthusiastically talking about my old heroes and a whole range of others, I realise that superheroes are with us to stay.
Some of these characters have been with us for along time. Since 1939, Stan Lee has been responsible for creating or co-creating some of the world’s most popular superheroes. His imagination gave birth to Black Panther, Spider-Man, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil and Ant-Man.
