Stan Lee to Produce 'Hero' for Showtime

Adaptation of Novel About Gay Super-Hero

Stan Lee will executive produce a television adaptation of Hero for Showtime according to Variety. The novel was written by Perry Moore and was released in 2007, telling the story of an “up-and-coming super-hero who struggles to hide his secret identities.”

Moore is writing the script for the hour long series and will also serve as an executive producer along with Hunter Hill.

Hero joins a growing list of pilots announced by the premium cable network, including yesterday’s Camelot.

Lee last worked in television, producing and hosting two seasons of Who Wants to Be a Superhero? for the Sci Fi Channel.

I know it's an adaptation of a book but I'd be interested to see what insight Stan Lee brings to the concept of being gay.

BTW Bobbie,

There's a typo in your subheadline.
