Legendary Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee had many of his beloved fans deeply concerned when he cancelled several convention appearances recently, but as it turns out, the alliterative 89-year-old was simply being fitted for an arc reactor pace-maker:
Attention, Troops!
This is a dispatch sent from your beloved Generalissimo, directly from the center of Hollywood’s combat zone!
Now hear this! Your leader hath not deserted thee! In an effort to be more like my fellow Avenger, Tony Stark, I have had an electronic pace-maker placed near my heart to insure that I’ll be able to lead thee for another 90 years.
But fear thee not, my valiant warriors. I am in constant touch with our commanders in the field and victory shall soon be ours. Now I must end this dispatch and join my troops, for an army without a leader is like a day without a cameo!
Excelsior!

In this dimension, he’s just a guy from New England who likes writing snarky things about superheroes, monsters, and robots.
