I thought it would be nice to share my father’s memories of Stan Lee with you along with a photo of the A1 size drawing of the superhero Stan and Herb Trimpe created during a 1975 BBC Pebble Mill at One interview. Personally I am a life long Marvel fan, as are “Seymour-Man’s” grandchildren so the fact that their grandpa is not only their real life superhero but also a Stan Lee created Marvel one is priceless. The following is my dad, David Seymour’s, fond recollection of Stan’s visit to the Pebble Mill studios: Our broadcasting narrators Max Volume and Sunny Day take us to the Fun Factory, the Candy King’s confectionary factory, where we meet his three mad scientists and discover the terrifying truth behind the Candy King. He is a super villain planning to conquer the world with his evil sweets. Curly and Wurly, two dim-witted new recruits from the rent-a-villain agency, arrive in the evil elevator to join the Candy King’s team and we meet the minions, the factory’s team of workers and mini-ninjas. The Candy King proudly displays his past evil achievements and explains that his seemingly kind free gift to the people of Megaville were actually hypnotic gobstoppers, allowing him to command every citizen with his giant remote control! Max and Sunny return us to Proton Park, where DC attempts to cheer up an unemployed Stan with the song “Every Step Of The Way (Pre-Reprise)”.

Jessie J's grateful reference to her stans in 2012, during which she credited them with her commercial success and dubbed them "Heartbeats," may have been the slow-burn catalyst that "stan" needed.

Can be hard to understand when you are in year 5 but other than that it’s fantastic.’ In 1975, I was a BBC reporter and television presenter working on a daily network magazine/talk show on BBC One called Pebble Mill, named after the the broadcasting centre in Birmingham. I vividly remember interviewing Stan Lee during his visit to the UK, promoting the Son of Origins, which described the creation of several Marvel Comic superheroes. Stan was a great guest both on and off the set. He was helpful, charming, talkative and inventive. It was an extended interview and Stan decided to transform me into a new type of superhero.Stan’ communities can often become echo chambers of fanatical fans that aren’t able to leverage objectivity due to groupthink,” explains Hills. “Contrary voices can become buried in spam and abuse, and it can disempower its own members out of fear of becoming vilified by their own.” Our pupils LOVED the fun and exciting comic-book theme.

In typical Internet-age form, "stan" has gone through so many iterations and usages that it no longer holds the connotation of an abusive, letter-writing stalker. So that's good. Depending on who you're talking to, though, "stan" can have a multitude of different connotations.
