Everyone who loves comics surely knows who Stan Lee is. If not, well, let us fill you in. It is safe to say that he is the father of almost all of the Marvel superheroes. To make it sound cardinal, he is the divine creator of the Marvel Universe.

Stan, the Man!

Stan Lee is a comic genius who co-created several Marvel superheroes

Stan Lee co-created several famous fictional characters, including the X-Men, Iron Man, Spiderman, Thor, the Hulk, Black Panther, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch, and the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Stephen Strange. That’s quite a list! We wonder if he is creating a Marvel Heaven right now...

However, back here on Earth, Stan Lee’s last days weren't utterly exemplary. Since the demise of his wife, Joan, Lee had to hire a caretaker to also manage his business affairs. Thanks to the collectibles enthusiast, Keya Morgan, Lee didn’t have to search for a long time.

Stan Lee's ex-manager Keya Morgan is now facing five counts of elder abuse allegations

Keya Morgan's Hidden Agenda

Morgan started his service with Stan Lee in February 2018, three months later; he allegedly stole the comic writer’s commission of more than $262K from his autograph-signing conference.

It doesn’t end there; he secretly evacuated Lee from his Hollywood Hills residence and transferred him to a condominium in Beverly Hills. Based on the police reports, Morgan manipulated the confused old man that he was in danger, to convince him that they need to move to a safer place.

Legal Case

To prevent Morgan from controlling and taking advantage of the 95-year-old baffled comic legend, Lee’s family filed a restraining order against Morgan. The Marvel Comic Book creator has a $50 million worth of real estate that he cannot protect from opportunists like Morgan. Stan Lee’s family believed that Morgan was pulling the strings of Stan Lee’s almost declining mental awareness to embezzle money.

After a series of hearing processes and investigations, they charged Morgan with five counts of elderly abuse, including theft, embezzlement, false imprisonment, fraud, and forgery. Morgan denied all the allegations against him and pledged not guilty.

Morgan soon got arrested in Arizona and transported to Los Angeles where he pleaded innocent to all of the accusations against him. The Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, Francis Bennet held Morgan’s request to bail out with $300K until another scheduled hearing. Morgan’s lawyer said the bail money comes from Morgan’s mother, but the court wanted to investigate through it first.

Stan Lee died on November 12, 2018, from pre-existing illnesses

The comic legend, Stan Lee departed Earth and probably transcended in the Marvel Universe (who can tell, right?) on November 12, 2018. His creations surely remain on everyone’s heart.
