Stan Lee’s Daughter, J.C. Lee, is suing her father’s former company POW! Entertainment. The beloved Marvel comics creator passed away last November at the age of 95. Following reports of elder abuse and a severs case of pneumonia, it was later confirmed that Lee had died from heart and respiratory failure. It was a loss felt by many individuals around the world, but especially within his Marvel family, who paid tribute to Lee by compiling a behind-the-scenes video that featured his various cameos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

Unfortunately, months after his passing, Lee’s name was still making headlines. It was reported last May that his former manager, Keya Morgan, was charged with elder abuse and later arrested on the charge. A report was initially filed in 2018 that detailed how the Marvel creator was being taken advantage of by Morgan; his former publicist, Jerry Olivarez; his former road manager, Max Anderson; and his daughter. The warrant for Morgan’s arrest was on five accounts of elder abuse, including false imprisonment, fraud, and forgery. Now, months after Morgan’s arrest, Lee’s name is coming back into the spotlight.

 

According to THR, Stan Lee’s daughter, J.C., is “picking up an intellectual property battle” with POW! Entertainment, which was filed on Thursday in a California federal court. Before Lee had passed away, he had filed a $1 billion lawsuit against POW! that “detailed [his] deteriorating medical condition” and claimed that the executives, “took advantage by either inducing him to sign documents under fraudulent pretenses of forging his signature.” The initial suit, “sought to reclaim name and likeness rights,” but was eventually dropped by Lee. J.C.’s current lawsuit is resurfacing that old battle.
