Syracuse football legend Jim Brown has played an action hero in movies, but he's also a hero in real life to the man behind some of the biggest superheroes in comics history.
TMZ reports Stan Lee, the co-creator of Marvel characters like Daredevil, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther, X-Men and the Fantastic Four, lost his dog last week.
Sources say the 95-year-old comics legend's mini Pomeranian, Charlotte, got loose in the Los Angeles area and had been missing for several days.
Lee's team posted "Lost Dog" flyers around his Hollywood Hills neighborhood, but hadn't heard anything for several days.
Brown, who lives about a mile away from Lee, and his wife Monique found Charlotte in their yard with no collar.
"They saw the posters, called the number and just like that, Charlotte was reunited with Stan.".
It's unclear if there'll be a reward for Brown, an NFL Hall of Famer who excelled in football, basketball, track and field, and lacrosse while at Syracuse University. »
