Stan Lee is beloved by most fans, but is often falsely thought of as the sole creator of the Marvel Universe and its characters. With his cameos, Lee had a Walt Disney type presence in modern pop culture, but previous videos on Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko show that his fellow co-creators brought ideas and plots, but were not credited as fellow co-writers or co-plotters. In the who did what video, all three men’s interviews or statements were shown and at one time or another mentioned that it was generally collaborative. Truthfully, Lee did not create that universe from whole cloth like he claimed at times, but it’s also incorrect to say he didn’t contribute anything. Here are twenty concepts he worked on before collaborating with Kirby and Ditko, that he reused to co-create the Marvel Universe in the 1960s.

EDIT: The Headline Hunter story was drawn by Harry Fisk instead of Charles Nicholas.

This video debunks two myths: 1) Stan Lee did everything and 2) Stan Lee did nothing.
