Showtime is teaming with legendary comic book creator Stan Lee for a new series, reports Variety. It will take place in a familiar realm for Lee, focusing on a superhero – one who happens to be gay. Based on Perry Moore's book Hero, the story, according to Variety, is about "an up-and-coming superhero who struggles to hide his secret identities."
Moore will be adapting his own book as he writes the script for the pilot to the project. He will also executive produce, along with Hunter Hill, Lee and the CEO of Lee's Pow! Entertainment company, Gill Champion.
Showtime has a busy development slate, including the just announced Camelot. The Hollywood Reporter also says the cable network is developing Kevin and the Chart of Destiny, from 10 year Simpsons veteran writer/executive producer Tim Long.
According to the Reporter, Kevin "is about a brilliant but lonely market researcher who designs an elaborate 'dating system' -- as laid out in a complex wall chart -- in order to achieve his goal of finding a wife within one year."
Long says the project stems from his "own private dating humiliations. I was fascinated by the idea of people who are relatively smart at most things in life but tragically inept at dating. This project is a love letter/apology to all the women I took on tragic dates."

I wonder how this will turn out?
