Stanley's name is synonymous with the creation of America's most popular super heroes -- now at age 89.

Stamps company Powell entertainment has.

Thirty different projects got to hear about these they include a Chinese and Indians superheroes under its umbrella and while most people -- -- Retired are complaining.

Sam's doing anything but he is still revolutionizing the superhero creation game joining us now -- a Fox Business exclusive from Atlanta is Stanley.

Founder and chairman up how entertainment along with -- -- champion CEO and president.

How entertainment.

-- -- company.

Stay.

Oh I'm sure glad to hear that I love them all myself.

I now how can you not how can you not that.

But we thought this was fascinating because at a time when say for example DreamWorks Animation is going into China and setting up all kinds of operations there with their -- panda.

You were working on creating a Chinese superhero can you tell us a little bit about I believe the name doesn't mean that the -- -- -- later.

The 90 later -- and that -- chart.

He's Chinese.

Most of that will be filmed in China although some in America but it's not a Chinese movie it's for all over the world.

And there we're very excited about it when you mention the Indian one that's a separate one -- doing -- Chinese and Indian we doing a Chinese one.

And then Indian -- -- can tell you about them.

All right well before we let go ahead go ahead -- We just felt it was fair to be able to take in at least 13 of the world's population.

Of course -- we don't wanna leave anybody out of my and.

-- but there are opportunities I mean let's call this what it is a real business opportunity with this gigantic population out there.

I want to stay with -- for a minute.

Art art super -- supposed to be magnanimous down I mean the end of the -- -- sounds like he goes in and pulls the pin on a grenade blows everybody else.

Well not really but he does them.

He's a little bit tougher than the average superhero just like in the X-Men Wolverine.

Is a little bit tougher than the average -- -- You can be tougher and more rugged.

And still be a hero -- -- like me.

OK and -- they all supposed to have flaws in their character their background what's means flaw.

His -- he doesn't have any floor -- one of my hero.

The but he.

He is a he's from China.

He's had a lot of problems.

And we worry about a life has not treated him well and then he gets its superpower in the most amazing way.

And how he uses it well that remains to be seen and why he's called the annihilate that also remains to be -- Hot all right but we're getting a taste of this year -- let's get to the Indian superheroes tigris and -- Craxi now I'm so all excited about this but.

Tell me more.

Well.

They're two different projects.

-- we're we're introducing first as a motion comic.

And taking advantage of the huge popularity of the Internet in India.

And social media in India and we just felt that was a whole different business approach to be able to introduce this character that way as opposed to tigris.

Which is being developed as a motion picture.

Okay tigress is going to be starring a female.

Lead as a super heroine and choppers based upon a male character are you guys we have we.

Right and treat it we try to treat every section of fairly weigh in a fair way DI solace in -- -- nothing.

Oh yeah we do a good job with Peres thanked her I wanna beaver.

The stand.

M no we haven't started -- -- yet but we will shortly.

And with the Chinese won the Indian won -- -- from India are still a little further away.

Just quickly get back to the to the success of the avengers which has been.

Off the planet along with the reboot of Spider-Man what's next for you I know that you partner of course with Marvel Entertainment but.

He it'll from a business standpoint stand where -- the real money opportunities here as you look forward.

I think the money opportunities are just.

Doing the kind of movie that appeals to the whole family the beautiful thing about the avengers is.

Older people younger people people -- comic book fans and people who aren't comic book fans have all enjoyed it.

And condemned.

That's what we look for week we don't aim for any segment of the population will want to -- everybody.

-- I don't I respect to an on her head and an -- thrilled for you that you get to work with somebody like -- we want to thank both the view gill champion of Powell entertainment.

And Stanley and -- on one last thing when we walked out of the avengers my eight year old son said.

I've just -- awesome lies.
