    Len Wein.

    Comics fans should recognize the name. Everyone else will recognize at least one character he co-created. Leaving out the stories he was involved with (for example, he was editor for Watchmen), the characters he was involved in the creation of are legendary. Here's a partial list, starting with his most famous.

    Wolverine
    Storm
    Nightcrawler
    Colossus
    Swamp Thing (DC)
    Brother Voodoo (Marvel)
    Human Target (DC)
    Prometheus (DC)
    Cottonmouth (Marvel)
    Multiple Man (Marvel)
    Lucius Fox (DC)
    Jigsaw (Marvel)
    Mongul (DC)
    Nekron (DC)
    Amanda Waller (DC)

    All of these have played major roles, and most have been put in TV shows or movies.

    Len Wein was a creative giant in the industry, nearly on a par with Lee and Kirby. Thanks, Len!

    Let's Make a Deal Host, Monty Hall, Dead at 96...

    Monty Hall, Iconic Let's Make a Deal Host, Dead at 96
    September 30, 2017 - Game show icon Monty Hall, who co-created and hosted the original Let’s Make a Deal, has died of heart failure at the age of 96, the New York Times reports. He passed away on Saturday in his Beverly Hills, Calif. home.
    Hall launched Let’s Make a Deal in 1963. It first premiered as part of NBC’s daytime line-up before moving to ABC in 1968, where it continued through 1976. A syndicated version of Deal aired on and off through the 1970s and 80s, before returning to NBC for a brief run from 1990-91. The show was eventually revived with host Wayne Brady in 2009, with Hall putting in occasional guest appearances. In addition to Let’s Make a Deal, Hall headlined various other game shows, including The Hollywood Squares and Password All-Stars.


    “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Monty Hall, a television legend who hosted a show and created a format that has entertained audiences for more than 50 years,” Angelica McDaniel, CBS Entertainment’s Exec VP of Daytime Programs and Syndicated Program Development, said in a statement. “Monty’s infectious enthusiasm, humor and warmth were a winning combination that was evident to everyone he encountered, whether returning to make appearances on the current version of Let’s Make a Deal, or gracing us with his presence at a photo shoot celebrating CBS Daytime earlier this year. On screen, Monty made the ‘Big Deals,’ but in the game of life, he himself was one. Our hearts go out to his children, his entire family and friends.”

    Hall is survived by his three children, including actress Joanna Gleason and TV producers Sharon Hall Kessler and Richard Hall.

    Benson died...

    ‘Benson’ Star Robert Guillaume Dies at 89 After Battling Prostate Cancer
    Actor Robert Guillaume, best known for his title role on the 1990s series Benson, died at the age of 89 at his L.A. home on Tuesday, October 24.
    Guillaume’s wife, Donna, confirmed her husband’s passing to CNN on Tuesday. “He kinda went the way everyone wishes they could, surrounded by love and in his sleep,” she said before noting that the Emmy-winner had battled prostate cancer for several years. “He was a good father and a good husband. He was a great, great person.”

    The St. Louis native, who voiced Rafiki in The Lion King, is survived by the two sons he shares with Donna and a daughter from his first marriage to Marlene Williams. According to CNN, the former Broadway performer spent quality time with all of his children in his final weeks. Throughout his career, the Tony-nomonated actor appeared on numerous popular sitcoms, including Saved by the Bell: The College Years and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

    Celebrities have taken to Twitter to pay tribute to the late Soap actor. “R.I.P. Robert Guillaume. Saw him play Nathan Detroit on Broadway in 1976,” Scandal star and Guillaume’s former Sports Night colleague, Josh Malina, posted on Tuesday. “Made me want to be an actor. It was a thrill to work w him on SN.” Added The Good Wife alum Josh Charles: “Robert Guillaume radiated such warmth, light, dignity, and above all, class. That smile and laugh touched us all. RIP to the best boss ever.”
