Stan Lee finds real X-Men for History Channel

By

I suppose it’s destiny. Stan Lee, creator or co-creator of most of Marvel Comics’ line-up of iconic superheroes, has signed on with the History Channel to find real-life super-humans.

He and Daniel Browning Smith — who’s been called “the world’s most flexible man” — will host Stan Lee’s Superhumans, a show that you might say is about real X-Men. The show will highlight people who have genetic differences to the standard homo sapien, giving them special abilities.

The announcement was made during History Channel’s annual “upfront” presentation, when new and upcoming shows are presented to the media for the first time.

Stop whatever you’re doing and download this from iTunes.

The History Channel is preparing to launch a 12-part miniseries called America: The Story of Us, and based on that 5-minute free preview on iTunes (which actually had me holding my breath at one point), it looks like they’ve spared no expense on crafting the ultimate video history of the United States. Dramatic re-creations, spectacular visual effects, and narration from the likes of Meryl Streep, Michael Douglas, Buzz Aldrin, Colin Powell, and many more.

The Story of Us defines the spirit of what it means to be an American, and in times as uncertain as these, it might just be downright important. It premieres this Sunday at 9:pm EST on the History Channel.

Watch that preview. Watch it now.
