We apparently can’t let the dead rest and AI will superpower the exploitation of them for years to come. ElevenLabs has acquired the rights to Stan Lee‘s voice and likeness to be used to narrate books in the Eleven Reader App.

Under a deal with Stan Lee Universe, the Stan Lee Book of the Month Club will debut with Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. An additional 11 books will be adapted over the year.

The tech uses professional recordings with Lee’s voice available on ElevenLabs’ Iconic Voice Marketplace and his likeness available on ElevenLabs Image & Video Marketplace. Music inspired by the “aesthetic and energy” of Lee’s imagination has also been created.

Stan Lee passed away in 2018 at the age of 95. There are claims of abuse that began in his last few years, leading to an individual charged, and it’s been a topic of discussion in the years since his passing. Stan Lee Universe has had no issues slapping the iconic Lee’s name and visage on to products over the years and soon it’ll be virtually.
