dbpprop:abstract
  • POW! (Purveyors of Wonder) Entertainment is an American media production company formed by Gill Champion, Arthur Lieberman and former Marvel Comics editor and publisher Stan Lee in 2001 as a limited liability company founded with assets taken from the estate of Stan Lee Media Inc, while it was in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. POW! productions include the 2006 Sci Fi Channel's TV-movie Stan Lee's Lightspeed and that network's reality television series Who Wants to Be a Superhero?. Other productions include the direct-to-DVD animated features Stan Lee's Mosaic and Stan Lee Presents: The Condor. In 2005, the company announced that another animated film that would feature the voice of Ringo Starr. Also in early 2005, the company formed a strategic partnership to develop a new mobile channel with mobile-streaming pioneer Vidiator, through Vidiator's state-of-the-art Xenon mobile streaming technology. In 2006, this resulted in an agreement with Sprint Nextel Corp. where the Stan Lee's POW! Mobile Channel is officially listed as Sprint's Channel 70. The channel includes mobisodes with Stripperella, The Accuser and The Drifter. On March 15, 2007, Stan Lee Media filed a lawsuit against Marvel Entertainment for $5 billion, claiming that the company is co-owner of the characters that Lee created for Marvel. Lee, however, is no longer associated with Stan Lee Media. And on June 9, 2007, Stan Lee Media is suing Stan Lee, his newer company, POW Entertainment, subsidiary QED Entertainment, and other former Stan Lee Media staff at POW. On January 20, 2009, Judge Stephen Wilson, in Los Angeles Federal Court, ruled that Stan Lee and POW Entertainment illegally transferred assets of Stan Lee Media including The Drifter and The Accuser, to POW Entertainment in violation of a Bankruptcy Court order while Stan Lee Media was under Lee's control as Debtor in Possession. This ruling enables Stan Lee Media shareholders to proceed to hold Stan Lee and Marvel Entertainment liable for the value of Stan Lee's co-creator's rights in Spider Man and other Lee creations copyrighted by Marvel which Lee assigned to Stan Lee Media when he capitalized it in October, 1998. Brighton Partners and Rainmaker Animation announced in April 2008 a partnership with Lee's POW! Entertainment to produce a CGI film series, "Legion of 5". That same month, Virgin Comics announced Lee would create a line of superhero comics for that company.
