Stan Lee For Mayor

If you or your younglings watch the new "Superhero Squad Show," you may have seen Saturday's "Election of Evil," where the Mayor of Super Hero City (Lee) loses the election to Egghead, via a charisma device. The Mayor, a paperwork-loving, tone-deaf not-so-super hero, and Wolverine (whose super hearing protects him from mind control, apparently) have to set things right before Doctor Doom and the rest of Villain City (?) come and destroy everything.

I've never had a chance to watch the show, aimed at introducing Marvel's superheroes to a younger generation, but it was a blast to hear Stan Lee. Lee's been known to be kind of a ham (not to mention various bystanders in Marvel's live action films), but I thought that he made the Mayor quite endearing. Obviously, it's apt for him to be mayor since he co-created half the characters in the series. Speaking of which, why is Spider-Man not in this series?

The only thing more fitting would be if Jack Kirby was still alive, so that he and Lee would rule over Marvelland together. Then, all would be right in the world.
