Stan Lee's greatest superpower was his superior self-promotional skills.  He's corny, doesn't take anything too seriously and was a great conman with all that Bullpen bullshit.  He's kind of like Dr. Doom; essentially a villain, but operating with a weird moral code.

Carlos Santana should sing the praises of Clive Davis for jump-starting his dead career and he should curse his name for making him the saddest jokes in music.  Carlos kept chasing Supernatural sales by continuing to pursue the formula of making Santana a guest musician on his own albums while paring him with Michele

You know there's no justice in the world when hacks like Brett Radner and Michael Bay can get millions to make special effect schlockfests and Tyler Perry shits out Madea movies every year while Spike Lee can't get studios to bankroll jack even when he shows he can make 'em simple and profitable like Inside Man.

Luther's coyness and the "la-la-la, I can't hear you" denial of the know-nothing segment of his audience can't change the undeniable truth that he was gay.   There was far too much smoke for there to be no fire and not the least of which was his cover of "Killing Me Softly" where he didn't change the gender of singer:
