Stan Lee keeps getting himself in trouble and you need to help him out. There are 50 instances of Stan Lee in peril, 15 in story levels, 11 in bonus levels, and 24 to be found in the HUB. When trying to find Stan in the HUB, he will only appear in one place at a time, but an icon will appear on the map so you know where he is. The table below lists where he is, in the order he will appear. Finding Stan 50 times and helping him out, will unlock Stan as a playable character.
