		</div><p>superhero creator Stan Lee admitted he used to be so embarrassed to be connected with comic books that he changed his name.</p>
<p>The 93-year-old, who went from Stanley Martin Lieber to his instantly-recognisable moniker, has no qualms about his connection to that world now, but revealed with regret that he can no longer read his creations.</p>
<p>He admitted to Radio Times: “When I was young, I was embarrassed to tell people that I wrote comic books. I even changed my name because people hated them so much.”</p>
<p>Back then, parents objected to the graphic violence, but Stan said, with better writers and sharp dialogue, he’s “happy to say it’s a different story today”.</p>
<p>Stan is responsible for teenage favourites such as Iron Man, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk and his favourite, Spider-Man, but he lamented that he now has to leave others to flesh out his ideas.</p>
<p>“I can’t read a comic book. The print is too small. Not only a comic book, but I can’t read the newspaper or a novel or anything. I miss reading 100%. It’s my biggest miss in the world,” he said.</p>
<p>“I can’t even read a script. I come up with ideas for stories and somebody writes an outline for me – but I can’t read it. I have to hope it’s good.”</p>
<p>His next project is TV show Stan Lee’s Lucky Man based on what he sees as the “greatest superpower”- luck.</p>
<p>James Nesbitt stars as Harry Clayton, a London cop given a bracelet that bestows on him no powers of invisibility or super-human strength, just plain good luck.</p>
<p>Stan admitted: “This show is very different to anything I’ve done before. Each episode looks beautiful and it’s a thrilling story with a surprise in almost every scene. I think it’s going to be a major hit.”</p>
<p>Although he nurtured company Marvel Comics before it was sold to Disney and founded his own company POW! Entertainment in 2001, Stan is modest about his influence on the planet.</p>
<p>“I never thought I had that much impact,” he said, humbly.</p>
<p>His only wish, he said, is that he could roll back the years so he could continue to provide entertainment to the world.</p>
