RALEIGH, N.C. -- Stan Lee's latest venture, The Guardian Project, a collection of 30 superheroes inspired by each of the National Hockey League teams, was unveiled Sunday as a short film with voice-over by Lee that played on the ice, on the JumboTron and on a huge round movie screen during the 58th NHL All-Star Game intermission at the RBC Center and on the Versus and CBC Networks telecasts of the game.
