"This is Stan Lee. I hope you haven't forgotten me. You better not have forgotten me," he stated.
He also shared a witty reference about his age, saying that it has taken him a while to get used to being 79, even though he is actually 95 years old. "I've found 78...that was easy. But I figured no sacrifice is too great for my fans so I want to start reaching out again. We've been together so many generations, and I don't want that to stop," Lee added.
Lee, known for creating some of the most popular comic book characters like the X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, and Daredevil, also wanted her Twitter followers to feel connected to him like a close friend.
He went on to say that his fans are his friends and that he won't let anything alter that arrangement.

"The whole thing has been confusing to everyone, including myself and the fans, but I am now happy to be surrounded by those who want the best for me," Lee's statement said. He added that he is happy to put the lawsuit behind him and to go back to business with the people at Pow! Entertainment.
