Lee is working overtime to do just that. Besides his Web work (Still waiting for that pun! --Ed.), he's developing a new incarnation of Mighty Mouse for Viacom and executive-producing a summer movie based on the X-Men.

If The 7th Portal doesn't make people believe there's magic in cyberspace, Stan Lee's equity just might.
