How Heroes Are Made
Two kids will have their everyday heroics transformed into superhero identities. One will be voted as our champion, take home $25,000, and star in their own limited-edition comic book. The other will be hand-selected by the Stan Lee Universe team to appear in the comic book alongside the champion.
Honoring the legacy of the legendary writer, The Stan Lee Foundation champions literacy and the narrative arts. They support public charities that advance storytelling and uplift creators in need, helping communities everywhere access the power of stories.
