Ain’t nothin’ keeping Stan Lee down.

The man responsible for creating iconic characters such as Spider-Man, Black Panther, and The X-Men has had a hard time of late…

Last July, the comic book author’s wife of 70 years, Joan, passed away, and he then found himself embroiled in a legal debacle in which he sued his former manager for fraud and accused the company he co-founded, POW! Entertainment, of stealing his name and likeness.

But now, in a new video posted to Twitter, the Marvel man has assured fans that if they thought he was down and out, he is most certainly back!

“It’s taken me a while to get used to being 79-years-old,” joked the 95-year-old.

He continued to remind fans just how important they are to him: “We’ve been together so many generations, and I don’t want that to stop. I don’t consider you as fans. I consider you as close, close friends… You’re my friends, I’m your friend, and we’re not gonna let anything come between that arrangement.”.

I’m warning you, I’m back again with new energy, and new care, and new protestations of the fact that I love my fans,” he promised.

We’re happy to have you, Stan!
