Today is National Superhero Day.  Superheroes have gotten more and more popular over the years starting with comic books, then some TV shows and now some of the biggest movies of all time are based on superheroes. Two years ago Avengers Endgame was released becoming the highest grossing film of all time (until a few weeks ago when Avatar was rereleased) but let’s not forget that it all started with Iron Man back in 2008.  A 23 movie arc that no other franchise has ever created.  The Marvel cinematic universe would not exist if it wasn’t for comic book writer Stan Lee and the characters and stories he created.
