Stan Lee’s daughter J.C. Lee promised to push forward and realize the last hero Stan ever made.
The hero, dubbed “Dirt Man,” held a special meaning for J.C. because it was a character that she and Stan both worked on. “I’ve been trying to get him (Stan) to do a character with me my entire life. He did listen to me and we had been working on a character called ‘Dirt Man,’” said J.C. during an interview with TMZ.
J.C. referred to Dirt Man as the “last little angel we have tucked away.” She did not reveal specifics about the character’s powers or backstory. The only hints J.C. gave away was her request for Stan to skip with the clatter, the steel, just get down and dirty and “do what’s going on about love.”
“It’s very interesting. It’s not over yet! We still have a little trickery,” exclaimed J.C.
The character’s development timeline was also left a mystery, but when asked if Dirt Man would get a movie, J.C. said she hoped so.

In honor of Stan the Man, J.C. decided to put up a foundation in her father’s name, the Stan Lee Childhood Literacy Foundation. She said the organization will focus on helping children find greater appreciation in the importance of reading and writing.
