Marvel creator Stan Lee’s last superhero is based on Chinese pop star G.E.M.


American comic book legend Stan Lee passed away on Monday at the age of 95 after a lifetime of dreaming up Spider-man, X-Men, the Hulk, and thousands of other Marvel super heroes, but his last superhero – unveiled not long before his death – was a Chinese female character.

Last month Lee introduced fans to a new superhero inspired by Chinese pop singer G.E.M. The character, called Jewel, is a world-touring pop star by day and a superhero in disguise by night. In the storyline, she developed superpowers after a mysterious incident involving her grandmother and a charm bracelet.
