Great news, true believers! The one and only comic book legend and creator of everything we know and love, Stan Lee, will be a playable character in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man game.
Pre-ordering the game through Amazon will unlock the special mission which involves Stan Lee swinging through Manhattan, just like his most famous creation.
In an interview with Yahoo, the Generalissimo of Awesome was poignant and witty as ever.
"I'm just a living cartoon," Lee enthused. "I couldn't believe it when I got the call from Activision. Then they asked would that be OK with me, would I want to do it. I shouted, 'Of course!' It sounded sensational."
"This wasn't easy for me, practicing all these moves. I'm just afraid when they see me do it, that may put Spider-Man in the shadows," he said. "I hope they don't have me looking too realistic and life-like. That would be tough for the Spider-Man fans. I swung through the city like an average guy would do, instead of giving it my usual derring-do."
Lee also is thrilled that this video game brings Spider-Man back to New York City for the first time in five years.
"Obviously, no teenager can afford the rents in New York today. Certainly, they can't afford a condo. As everybody knows, I am the most generous, big-hearted guy in the world. I was willing to let Spider-Man sort of bunk with me," Lee explained. "I let him use my apartment. I don't even bother locking the door anymore when I go to sleep because Spider-Man is there."
