Joan B. Lee: The Woman Who Saved the Marvel Universe

Joan Boocock was born on August 3, 1924, in Gosforth, Newcastle, England. In the 1940s she moved to New York City, where she married an American GI and worked as a hat model. Working at the agency, she met a young comics editor named Stanley Lieber, who worked under the pen name Stan Lee. The two fell in love instantly and she left her husband for him.

In the early 1960s, Stan Lee was feeling depressed and unhappy with his job and was seriously considering quitting the comics industry. Joan told him "Before you quit, why don’t you write one comic you are proud of?” Lee obliged and together with Jack Kirby, he created the Fantastic Four, the flawed, dysfunctional family of heroes that Lee always wanted to make. The comic was an instant success, reinvigorating Lee and convincing him to stay on at Marvel. He even went on to give his favorite hero, Spider-Man, a love interest based off his wife: Gwen Stacy. In later years, after the couple’s two children were grown-up, Joan would have a short career as a voice actress, voicing the recurring character of Madame Web in the Spider-Man animated series, as well as having small parts in the Iron Man and Fantastic Four series. In 2016 she had a cameo with her husband in X-Men: Apocalypse. 

The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, the X-Men, the Avengers, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Doctor Strange, Black Panther. While these heroes were created or co-created by Stan Lee, we may never have had them or the Marvel Universe without Joan. Thank you.

Joan Boocock Lee - August 3, 1924 – July 6, 2017

Can i get an ex men ship plz. I'm a full time loser who likes to travel. I'm an emotional wreck constantly. I have a pixie cut and I'm a waitress for a living that's going to college to be a nurse.

Hi! I’m really jazzed to do your request but may you please provide a few more personality traits, or your Myers-Briggs personality type? I really want to be as accurate as possible and this would be super helpful! Thank you! Sorry!

Being BFFs with Crowley Would Include:

Warning: There's a curse in here. It isn't a terrible one though. No worse than what you would hear on the show. - You met him when you were a Hunter and he was still a crossroads demon. - You were going to kill him, but instead you got on really well and just started ranting about everything together. - Next thing you know, you're eating lunch in Hell with him. - Supporting each other, but not always agreeing with each other. - You'd be his advisor. - You'd have your own smaller throne next to his throne in Hell and you'd both quip to each other on every subject that was brought up. - You aren't necessarily a demon or evil. You probably could be considered morally ambiguous though. - This morality of yours makes Hell a slightly less, well, Hellish place. - At first, this led to criticism of Crowley's reign but he quickly shut it down by torturing and then killing all who spoke ill of you and your effect on him. - People, angels, monsters, and demons are so terrified of you. - Partly because you're a badass on your own who can kill them, but also because of Crowley keeping tabs on you. - They won't even touch you because they know you two would come for them. - You convince Crowley to cooperate with the Winchesters more by explaining how it is in his and Hell's interests. - Juliet and his other Hellhounds love you. - He gave you two little Hellhound puppies that you can actually see. - You recognize Crowley deserves to be loved and you do love him. - And you give him so many hugs. This secretly really makes him happy. Although he acts like he's bored for the most part during them. - If you date anyone, you can bet that they have been thoroughly vetted and will never hurt you. - You and Crowley both enjoy drinks with tiny umbrellas and pitchforks in them together. - You enjoy making puns with him about Hell. - He teaches you different languages. Some are dead but that just makes them mean that much more to you. - You're next in line for the throne. - He frequently becomes really upset and you always can calm him down. - Taking pictures of you two acting overly enthusiastic together in ridiculous outfits in different locations. You have so many of those pictures. - Whenever someone pops up to attempt to uproot his position, he makes sure that you're well-guarded as well. - You two are excellent problem-solvers together. - The Winchesters are simultaneously grateful for your friendship and enraged by your friendship. WARNING- I do not own Supernatural. None of the characters mentioned are mine and you are owned by you. Please don't sue me.

“He may have been your father boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.” Happy Father’s Day, Yondu!

I could really do with some inspiration. :) Thanks very much!

Dating Dean Winchester Would Include:

Warnings- There is mention of an injury (no real description though), some arguments (none of them violent), and a one-night stand is mentioned as well. Apart from that, it shouldn’t upset anyone.

- You and Dean met while you both were researching for a hunt disguised as FBI agents. - You two were both super confused at first before figuring out the other was a hunter. - After some arguing between you and the Winchesters, it became clear that you’re all too stubborn to leave so you may as well work together. - Your stubbornness causes you to clash with Dean. Sam mostly rolled his eyes in the background while you two fought. - This tension soon led to a one-night stand. - You all continue to bicker after this. - Sam storms away and leaves you two alone to research and sort through your issues. - While researching, you and Dean get to know each other. - This leads you to realize that he isn’t quite as mean and cocky as he would have others believe. - He discovers that you’re quite an accepting and open person actually and don’t like to pick fights. - You go over how you got into hunting and that causes you to realize just how similar the two of you are. - Sam returns, satisfied that you two are getting along now. - Later, during the hunt, Dean gets injured. - This leads to you flirting with him to try to keep him conscious long enough to get him somewhere safe enough to treat his wound. - Your talk with him escalates and you promise him a date when he heals, thinking that he wouldn’t remember. - After the hunt is resolved and Dean is patched up, he asks about that date. - And so, your relationship began. - He is super protective of you. It can get really irritating sometimes. - Really. It’s to the point where he tries to convince you to stop hunting and live in the bunker 24/7. - You but sing loudly to his classic rock music together. - He lets you drive his car sometimes. - You two trust each other a lot. - He’s huge on PDA. Anything from hand-holding to make-out sessions is okay for him in public. - You both love to cuddle. - You both alternate who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon. - Whenever you have a nightmare, he’ll just take you in his arms and listen to what happened in your dream. He’ll then reassure you and offer extra training time to try to prevent whatever happened from occurring. - When he has a nightmare, you do the same. - You lessen his insecurity by reminding him how important, intelligent, resourceful, heroic, loyal, and loved he is. - You’re both super proud of each other and constantly trying to one up each other’s supportiveness. - For example: You’ll mentioned how he cut off those vamps’ heads in one clean blow and he’ll counter with mentioning how artful your decapitation was of that alpha you all had encountered. - If you get injured in any way during a hunt by someone, he’ll step up training with you and go over the situation again and again. - Even after you have gotten it right six times over and are 100% confident in your ability to avoid the scenario. You eventually have to call Sam in to let Dean know that it’s okay now. - So many ‘I love you’s. - You bake him a lot of pies. - Particularly after arguments. - Speaking of arguments, they’re frequent and often involve some yelling. - They never escalate beyond that though as you both love each other very much. - You two make up very shortly after your arguments as you both love each other too much to stay away. - You become BFFs with Sam, Cas, Crowley, Charlie, and Kevin. - Dean and you still flirt a lot with each other and sometimes will say cheesy pickup lines to make the other laugh. - You love it when he cooks. - He loves it when you cook. - You both cook and bake together super often. - This usually involves some level of food fights and other immature but immensely fun activities. - You both love each other to pieces and are happy to have found a balance between an “apple pie life” and hunting.
