One of the most respected faces in the comic book industry, the legendary Stan Lee, has taken a stand against social oppression, saying that Marvel does not tolerate hatred, intolerance, and bigotry in any form. Lee, who has received countless honors for his huge contributions to the world of comic books, said in a statement released on Marvel's YouTube page, "The only things we don?t have room for, are hatred, intolerance and bigotry. That man next to you ? he?s your brother. That woman over there ? she?s your sister. And that kid walking by ? hey, who knows, he may have the proportionate strength of a spider! We?re all part of one big family ? the human family ? and we all come together in the body of Marvel.? Throughout his career, the nintey-four year-old Lee has used his comic book creations to send a message of not just hope but also inclusion.
