Stan Lee, the iconic man behind almost everything at Marvel Comics, spent the night in the hospital but is now home and doing well. TMZ reported that the ninety-five year-old was taken to the hospital Wednesday night after suffering from shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat. A representative told The Hollywood Reporter that he is doing fine after checking into the hospital. Initially it was thought he would stay several days but he was released early.

Lee told ABC7, "All I really want to do is tell you that I'm feeling great. I'm glad I spent that evening in the hospital. It did me a lot of good. It probably did my fans a lot of good. It kept me off their backs for the evening. But I'm feeling good now and I can't wait to get in there and tangle with all the competition."

Last year, Lee had to cancel two convention appearances due to health. He said of his fanbase, "It's nice to know that somewhere in the world there are still people who care about what I say or do. And it's nice to know that somewhere in the world there are always people who are fans who care about what people do, the people they're interested in. And I think having fans is one of the greatest things. I can never say how grateful I am for it."
