@Grigoris: I believe Stan Lee deserves all his credit. Because Stan Lee thought of the ideas of the Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, etc. Like for example, how Spider-Man was created, Lee thought of the idea when he was thinking of a new superhero. He saw a fly on the wall and started from there, eventually getting Spider-Man, since it sounded like a good name, unlike Fly-Man, which was a name he thought of before Spider-Man. So after he thought of Spider-Man, he gave it Spider-like powers, then sent it to Steve Ditko to draw.
Now. Remove Steve Ditko and you'll still have Spider-Man, but it might be a bit different. But remove Stan Lee and Spider-Man wouldn't exist. Same for Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, etc. Jack Kirby and Stan Lee did co create together, but I feel like Stan Lee does deserve more credit, because take out Stan Lee and you won't have those superheros. Where as, if you take out Jack Kirby, you will have those superheros still, but they'll be a bit different.
Their wouldn't even be a comic industry if it wasn't for Kirby....Lee and Kirby are equivalent in their contributions, to think otherwise is like saying America won WW2 by themselves.
