j.k. rowling for creating harry potter. and then there's stan lee. the world would have far fewer superheroes without him. he created spider-man and the hulk. iron man and doctor strange. the avengers, the x- men and many, many more. "i started with marvel comics when i was about 16 and a half. it was known as timely comics in those days. in fact, we didn't change the name to marvel comics until the very early 1960s because at that time we had started an entire new type of stories of superheroes. and we thought, well, now that we're doing everything differently, we might as well get a different name." stan lee reinvented superhero comics by making them more relatable. "one day my publisher came to me -- i was the editor at the time -- " " -- and he said, 'you know, stan, one of our competitors has a superhero team which is selling very well. why don't we do a superhero team.' i figured okay, but i had been in comics so long doing the same old thing, i didn't want to continue dong the same old thing, and i figured, well, if we do a superhero team, may

j.k. rowling know you did this, and has she sued you? >> i'm sure she's very upset.it, a fan thing. >> jimmy: where are you from originally? >> i'm from san francisco, the bay area. yeah, they're just wooing at anything at this point. i'm from the bay area, and i moved to hawaii when i was very young because my dad had a job there. i joke that's where all the half-asian babies go. >> jimmy: are you a half-asian baby? >> i am, half filipino. another woo if you're half filipino. not as many people.

j.k. rowling. i don't even have to add my name on the cover and they informed me their legal department frowned on it. >> if all of you could get your friends to buy a copy we will help end the madness. who would like to ask a question? please wait for the microphone. >> why now? why didn't he write this book 20 years ago? i've a lot of theories on that but i would like to hear why now now? >> actually rick mentioned earlier that when i started copying the pentagon papers in 1969 with the example of draft resisters very much in my mind on their way to prison and they said what can i do to help with the war in vietnam now that i'm ready to go to prison. so i thought of putting out something in the pentagon papers and i started 47 volumes of top-secret pages on decision-making in vietnam. then when i started on that i realized something that's more important actually is nuclear material that i had been working on for years. i copied everything in my top-secret save them a lot of stuff from the secret
