Yes, he was the producer/co-creator of Heroman, and like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's a character that's based off of Lee that is a recurring character in the show. You'll notice as we go along that there are a lot of parallels to Lee's other works (in particular, Spiderman) with regards to the characterizations of the Heroman cast. And I mean it, one person we'll meet is literally Totally Not Flash Thompson, up to and including having an analogue to the Venom Symbiote.

And since you're probably wondering "why didn't this get licensed for the US, since Stan Lee was part of the creative team?", well that's allegedly due to Heroman's merchandise tie-ins catastrophically bombing in Japan, so they felt that taking a risk on the US market was not worth the hassle.

drat shame about Heroman and the name
