Spiderman creator's new teen hero hiding super powers and homosexuality


Cartoon creator Stan Lee is in the process of developing the world's first gay superhero for a new television show.

The character, reportedly the son of another superhero, is a high school student called Thom Creed.

He will be forced to hide not only his growing superhuman powers, but also the fact that he is gay.

Stan Lee is responsible for some of the world's best-loved superheroes including Spiderman and X-Men.

The story will be based on the book Hero, written by Perry Moore, who is also writing the script for the show.
