Stan Lee, the creator of unforgettable heroes beloved by kids and the adults they grew up to be, passed away at age 95. But his legacy lives on... even in China, where people are notably picky about which Western franchises they embrace. Star Wars, for instance, never really picked up. Marvel films, on the other hand, have proven to be box office hits. During his last years, Lee turned much of his attention to China, traveling to the country and creating a superhero inspired by a Chinese pop star. The man is being remembered on Weibo, where one fan mourned, “Time is the ultimate supervillain.”

I love this story: One fan in China re-cut the Venom trailer, turning Marvel's badass alien antihero into a socialist star. Venom eats a thief? "Always remember to observe discipline and obey laws." It's made to look like a real video, but we checked with Sony, who said it isn't an official trailer. Maybe it should be. As Xinmei explains, it wouldn't be the first time a Western film tried to pander to China's audience (and authorities).

Haven't heard of G.E.M.? Well, she's a big star in China and the inspiration behind Marvel's latest superhero, Jewel. (Gem. Jewel. Get it?) Stan Lee says he's always wanted to create a Chinese superhero, so this didn't come out of the blue. His studio was also bought by a Hong Kong company last year, so be prepared to see more China-focused projects from the man behind so many iconic superheroes.
