Comic-book legend Stan Lee, who died Monday at 95, created many amazing superheroes, including Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Avengers. Take a tour through his marvelous universe as you listen to music inspired by his characters, from composers Danny Elfman, Michael Giacchino and others.
We begin with the somber theme from the 1970s TV series The Incredible Hulk to mark Lee's passing. Then it's off to many musical adventures.
