Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber) was an American writer, editor, creator of comic book superheroes, and the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.
With several artist co-creators, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Thor as a superhero, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scarlet Witch, The Inhumans, and many other characters, introducing complex, naturalistic characters and a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books. He subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.
First M.O.D.O.K. (Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing) - if you would have told me he would be a hit on Hulu I would have laughed till my big head started to bobble - plus IM takes on the Titanium Man (TM). TOS really (in my opinion) has not gotten the readership that it deserves. Try out a couple issues - you might get 'hooked'!
Captain America: 8/10 Great art by Kirby and creepy design for Modok, that fits great to this character.
Also great story, very dynamic and coherent. The first appearance of Modok left oneself wanting to learn more about him.
Sharon Carter is useful and saves Captain America several times, not being a mere ornament.
AIM is a cool organization but i feel sad for them, because everything around them turns awful. First their leader turns out to be the Supreme Hydra, and was just using them. Next, they rescue the Red Skull, only for him to betray them. And, lastly, they create MODOK, only for him take over them.
And lastly ,wouldn't it be great that Modok had LockJaw as his pet? :-).
Iron Man: 4,5/10 Very good drawn as expected by Gene Colan.
But the story is very dull, predictable and propagandistic and stereotyped about the role of communism and Americans of the era. Also, very unimaginative that Iron Man is left for dead in a lab where he can recharge his armor easily, using and "USB" cable :-). The fight with Titanium Man feels very rushed and boring and Half-Face quickly changing sides was very forced.
