And all these years, I thought the charm of Ringo was how much UNLIKE a
superhero he appeared to be (despite what I would still consider some heroic
drumming). Any Ringo cartoon should be picking up where those old Richard
Lester Beatle movies left off. Let him save the day, if that's your deal,
but it should be an accident.

NEW YORK - And you thought he could only play the drums.

Former Beatle Ringo Starr and comic book mogul Stan Lee announced a
partnership Wednesday to launch an original entertainment franchise of an
animated persona based on and voiced by Starr.

"Ringo is beloved worldwide for his commitment to people and his singular
wit," said Lee, the man responsible for the likes of Spider-Man and The
Hulk. "Our Ringo Superhero character will combine these qualities, along
with Ringo's secret powers which people generally didn't know about because
he has kept them secret - until now."

Starr's alter ego is described as an "evil-battling, Earth-saving - though
reluctant - superhero with a great sense of rhythm."Ringo to become a comic
