Characters he created are setting box office records as Marvel continues to take over the entertainment world, but in his personal life, Stan Lee seems to be on his heels. Multiple reports of the 95-year-old’s assets being taken advantage of by outside parties have surfaced over the last few months, detailing his bank accounts being emptied, his blood being used for unauthorized signatures on comics, and his inner circle shrinking with what he claims to be a fraudulent sale of his likeness to a Chinese company which he’s suing for one billion dollars.
Now he’s asking Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and his legions of fans for help in getting back his social media accounts. According to Lee, someone hacked his Facebook, but he’s also suing his former company Pow! for selling his social media accounts to Hong Kong-based company Camsing International:
My Facebook has been hacked. Can my dear fans all please send a message to @facebook and Mark Zuckerberg to help me?

Help! Someone has hijacked my Facebook and Instagram. I want everyone to know whoever is writing them is a fraud and is impersonating me. How do I get them back? Can you guys help?

Over at the “Real Stan Lee” verified Facebook page, fans have been calling out the deluge of content that’s been posted to the page directing people to TheRealStanLee.com. At this point, it seems like the “real” Stan Lee can only be found on Twitter, where he’s posting videos of himself answering questions from fans and giving props to Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Everything else looks like a content farm.
I think @TomHolland1996 is a great Spider-Man. He is the exact height and age I envisioned when I first wrote Spider-Man. Spidey was never supposed to be too large. How is my friend Tom doing?

I've been scanning my fan mail on Twitter. Love the fact that my fans come from all over the earth, but I'm still waiting to hear from Mars and Jupiter.

With the lawsuit still in its early stages and Lee fighting back on Twitter, hopefully, his accounts with millions of followers can be returned to him.
