Was getting caught part of your plan?
The comic book icon has been hit with a lawsuit accusing him and his family of demeaning, verbally abusing and ripping off a man who recently worked as his personal assistant.

Shawn Lukaszewicz claims Lee and his daughter and wife terrorized him during his stint as their personal assistant from November until June, subjecting him to foul-mouthed tirades when he made mistakes and failing to pay him for working virtually round-the-clock, Courthouse News Service reports.

In mid-November, the suit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court claimed, Lee's daughter, Joan Celia, also called J.C., 65, told Lukaszewicz to deliver some mail to the Spider-Man co-creator's house. When he rang the bell, the 92-year-old Lee allegedly answered the intercom and told him to "get the f-out and never ring my damn doorbell again."

Months later, Lukaszewicz, who was paid $40 an hour for 40 hours but expected to be on call 24/7, claims Lee ripped into him during a car ride to a meeting with boxer Manny Pacquiao, telling his young assistant he was driving too slow.When Pacquiao was a no-show — the suit says he was preparing to fly to Las Vegas for his May 1 fight with Floyd Mayweather — Lee flew into a Hulk-style rage, calling Lukaszewicz a "f--- idiot" and claiming everyone they worked with "thinks you are a f--- a--hole."

J.C. Lee was particularly abusive, the suit contends. On one occasion, she sent the assistant a text calling him a "disloyal s---" and also once referred to him as her "little bitch."

In March, Lukaszewicz says he was running errands for J.C. Lee to help her get ready for Easter when he decided to buy her an Easter basket as a gift. When he gave it to her, Lee purportedly screamed, "You must be f--- retarded ... Why do I need a f--- Easter basket?"

"There must be something wrong with your brain," she shouted, according to the suit.

I feel bad for people who take these personal assistant jobs to celebrities. You're a slave to an egomaniac.

Doesn't sound like Stan but you never know. He did drink that gamma infused yellow Fanta drink in the Incredible Hulk. He may be dealing with some Rage issues.

Seems like a pretty measured response to me

There's that, but he's also a 92 year old man. When you live that long, you have a pretty good chance of leaving the world the same way you entered it. Throwing a temper tantrum while wearing a diaper.

Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko who knew he him long before he was 92 don't have many warm things to say about him.

People seem to confuse Stan Lee the character in Marvel movies with Stan Lee the writer/editor who seemed to piss off nearly everyone who worked with him in the 60's.


Though Bob Kane will always hold the title of the biggest asshole in comics.

I full on believe Kirby is full of it. Well not that all that he said was trash but I really have a hard time trusting what Kirby said. I don't trust anyone who says they've never told a lie.

There are also many others who worked with Lee that are downright complimentary of the man. John Romita Sr for example.

Not too say Lee hasn't done shady stuff or w/e.

Also, damn if Lee is cussing and going on ragers, thats pretty impressive virility. Dude is 90+
