Stan Lee Projects w/o Marvel

Have you seen some of the animated films airing on TV, Netflix and Direct to Video. Stan Lee was one of the first and continues to try and make Super Heroes that reflect all walks of life. Real People with real problems that, when gifted with Super Powers, often have bigger problems to deal.



This new series of character is expanding ethnic and other barriers rarely seen in American heroes. And these are real character. SO MUCH BETTER than the horrible attempts in the 1980s by DC comics to diversify. No Apache Chief with horrible representation of Native Americans etc (Look like Indian from John Wayne movie)

Here are some of the Projects Stan Lee has produced with no relation to Marvel or DC...

Stan Lee's MIGHTY 7 2014
I have heard of this for a while and discovered it finally has been made and released. HUB aired a pilot on Feb 1, 2014. I am on the hunt to see it. Stan Lee plays himself as he discovers a two groups of aliens and turns them into Superheroes. COOL!!! Here is a clip form THE HUB on YOUTUBE...

Stan Lee's Mighty 7 #1


CHAKRA THE INVINCIBLE 2013
I have yet to see this 65-minute animated movie. Made and released to Cartoon Network India has aired in both English and Hindi. As soon as I finish this post i am going to try and find it an nupdate with review...

PLOT from WIKI The movie features Raju Rai, a young Indian boy living in Mumbai, India. Raju's mentor, the scientist Dr. Singh, develops a technology suit. The suit weaponizes all the Chakras in the body. Raju uses its powers to be a Superhero. Raju vows to use the suit to protect and serve as he battles super-villains.

Verticus - 2012 Video Game inspired by Stand Lee

TIME JUMPER 2009 Mobile Series





The Condor -  Skater Dude becomes a Superhero... I love this. Saw this a few years ago on Netflix.  Tony Valdez (voiced by Wilmer Valderrama - FEZ) is left with out parents or legs after gang retaliation and corporate sabotage. He can no longer turn his back on his father's Robotics firm. Using experimental Nanobots, Tony gains super powers. This is geared towards teens. Edgier than most of Stan Lee's animated features. Only Stan Lee could make such a horrible premise so good!!!
Stan Lee Presents: Condor

"Tony's wobble but they don't fall down" Great line but does anyone under 30 understand this reference LOL



Mosaic - This and Condor came out around same time. Perhaps Same Time. Saw them both years ago a Netflix. Maggie Nelson (Anna Paquin X Men, True Blood) - through exposure to electrical storm and magic rune - gains super chameleon powers. Think Spider Man with shape shifting and other mimc skills (Including Vocal and Invisability), super vision (Infrared). Again on paper a bad Spider man rip off but Stan Lee makes the Bizarre seem acceptable. These powers all stem from a hidden ancient race - The Chameliel. Mosaic is actually Chameliel hero. Maggie becomes his apprentice of sorts. Another Chameliel, Maniken, is seeking relics to become a god and rule the earth. Lots of action and cool original mythology makes this a winner.
NOT SURE WHY but Condor is available for Free on YOUTUBE. Stan Lee Presents: Mosaic is avail on Amazon. Might still be avail on Netflix.

2006

STRIPPERELLA 2003 SPIKE TV
BASICALLY: Stan Lee gives Pamela Anderson's Barbed Wire and Animated life. ADULTS ONLY. Of course parents let kids watch South Park so...
Stripperella - Season One - Uncensored - DVD
Beauty and The Obese Watch Amazon Instant Video

ON SYFY CHANNEL 2006-2007 - So not every Stan Lee Project is a winner with me. I really wanted to love the Reality Show WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPER HERO. The only thing worse was LIGHT SPEED, the made for TV movie based on a Season One Winner.

HISTORY CHANNEL 2010-2012 Stan Lee's Superhumans was pretty cool at times. Kind of like a reboot of THAT's INCREDIBLE (Dating my self here - watch out)

18 Days FULL PLAYLIST


I love my job!!! Every time i research one thing, I stumble onto some other gem new to me... Researching Stan Lee Projects not with DC & Marvel I found Chakra. Which led to this golden nugget...

So if you watch shows like Ancient Aliens or History Channel you have heard of the Mahabharata. Ancient Alien conspiracy nut jobs think this (Like every biblical story and equiv in other religions) is sign of an ancient Alien War. Mahabharata - translated to "the great tale of the Bhārata dynasty" - is the oldest known epic poem (10,000 year+)

Transformers: Age of Extinction Teaser Trailer





Dinobots? finally!!!

This movie looks amazing. But all three did. Hopefully Michael Bay spends more time on the story and real people in the movie. Cast performances already look better. Hire some actresses to replace pretty bumps on a log and you might have a great movie. Last three you really got the sense that female cast was made on a couch, not a studio. Talents were not in acting...

Of course that was fixed by having a reality show for Chinese actors. This process worked so well for Glee and Broadway, right? Glad studio and Michael Bay have a lot of respect for trained actors...

Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager, a single father and struggling inventor.

Nicola Peltz as Tessa Yeager, Cade's daughter.

Jack Reynor as Shane Dyson, Tessa's boyfriend and a race car driver.

Stanley Tucci as Joshua, an arrogant designer who wants to build his own robots.

Sophia Myles as Darcy, Joshua's geologist assistant.

Kelsey Grammer as Harold Attinger, a paranoid government official and the main human antagonist.

T. J. Miller as Lucas, Cade's best friend and a mechanic.

Titus Welliver as Savoy, leader of the team of agents hired by Attinger.

Li Bingbing as Su Yueming, the "CEO of the Chinese Transformers".

Melanie Specht as the "Grande Dame", Joshua's senior executive assistant.

Victoria Summer as Joshua’s executive assistant.

Han Geng was cast in an unspecified role. Byron Li, Austin Lin, Candice Zhao and Teresa Daley are cast in roles after winning the reality television show Transformers 4 Chinese Actors Talent Search Reality Show

Bruce Wayne Role Cast in Fox’s Batman Series - Kid from Touch

I am big time excited about this show. My only fear, like so many Batman spin offs (BIRDS OF PREY ring a bell) does the back story and minor characters TV producers can afford going to hold the attention of non-die hard fans?


FROM VARIETY...
There’s a new budding millionaire bachelor in Gotham City. Warner Bros. TV has tapped “Touch” alum David Mazouz for the role of a pre-teen Bruce Wayne in “Gotham,” the studio’s Batman origins drama for Fox. Mazouz will play boy who leans on his butler Alfred and Commissioner James Gordon for guidance after his wealthy parents are murdered. Bruce Wayne has traditionally been the alter ego of the Caped Crusader — but Mazouz will not at any point become Batman in the show, something Warner Bros. took pains to point that out in announcing the casting. Mazouz played Kiefer Sutherland’s son in the Fox drama “Touch.” Also cast in “Gotham,” which has a series order from Fox, is Camren Bicondova, who will play Selina Kyle, a teenage orphan and street thief who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. Deals for Mazouz and Bicondova mark the last two regular roles to be cast in “Gotham, » - Variety Staff


More about show from WIKI

Gotham is an upcoming American television series created by Bruno Heller and based on characters appearing in and published by DC Comics, specifically those of James Gordon and Bruce Wayne, who were created by Bob Kane. The series will star Ben McKenzie as the young Gordon.[1] Heller serves as executive producer on the project along with Danny Cannon, who will also direct the pilot. The series is scheduled to premiere in the 2014-15 television season.[2] As originally conceived, the series would have served as a straightforward story of Gordon's early days on the Gotham City Police force. The idea evolved not only to include the Bruce Wayne character, but will also tell the origin stories of several famed villains, including the Penguin, the Riddler and Catwoman.[3]


Ben McKenzie
     as James Gordon: an idealistic rookie detective for Gotham City Open Police Department’s Homicide Squad, a former college football star and a war hero.

Sean Pertwee
     as Alfred Pennyworth: a tough-as-nails ex-marine from East London, Pennyworth has loyally served the Wayne family. Now, in the wake of their tragic deaths, he’s fiercely protective of the young Bruce Wayne — the boy who will eventually become Batman.

Robin Lord Taylor
     as Oswald Cobblepot: the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal, Cobblepot is a low-level psychopath for gangster Fish Mooney, and hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanor.

Zabryna Guevara
     as Captain Essen: Detective Gordon’s boss at the Gotham City Police Department Homicide Squad, she balances the two worlds of police and politics with a Machiavellian skill that’s as much corporate litigator as cop.

Erin Richards
     as Barbara Kean: a sophisticated emergency doctor, Kean stands by her husband amid the corrupt world of Gotham.

Donal Logue
     as Detective Harvey Bullock: Gordon's rough-around-the-edges partner and mentor.

Jada Pinkett Smith
     as Fish Mooney: an imposing, hotheaded and notoriously sadistic gangster boss and nightclub owner with street smarts and almost extra-sensory abilities.

David Mazouz
     as Bruce Wayne: who has been sentenced to a solitary life after the tragic murder of his wealthy parents. Serious and soulful, young Bruce relies on the guidance and protection of Alfred Pennyworth and Det. James Gordon.

Camren Bicondova
     as Selina Kyle: a teenage orphan, street thief and skilled pickpocket who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable.

Drew Powell
     as Butch Gilzean, the second-in-command to Fish Mooney. Powell has been cast in a recurring role.
