Stan Lee to star in his own video game
Comics icon Stan Lee is about to add a whole new slew of superheroes to his resume.
The man whose credits include co-creating Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men will release on March 19 his very own video game, one that boasts such characters as a Russian muscleman named Captain Steamhammer and a kid genius known as Seer.
“Stan Lee’s Hero Command” will be available as a free-to-play game for iOS and Android devices. The game will include in-app purchases, details of which have not yet been unveiled, but Lee said in an interview that additional superheroes and missions will be added post-launch.
“I like the fact that there are new characters who come along all the time,” Lee said. “Most video games you’re stuck with the characters you get. Here, we’ll have new ones coming aboard all the time. I guess that will help us make more money, which is pretty good.”
“Stan Lee’s Hero Command” will star Lee himself as the leader of an elite force of heroes who will protect an Earth in peril. This isn’t the first time Lee has appeared in a video game, as “Lego Marvel Super Heroes” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” each included appearances from the comic legend.
Players can pick from three main characters at launch. Antagonists will include a gnome villain known as Lord Hibiculus and an awakened mummy named Sand Witch. Lee was particularly taken with the latter.
