Spider-Man -- er, Stan Lee -- lists Hollywood Hills home

As real estate pitches go, you could do worse than invoke a superhero.

Which maybe explains why Spider-Man was front and center in a listing photo for a Los Angeles home owned by one of his creators, as reported by the L.A. Times.

"Stan Lee still standing strong in the world of real estate!" the listing said of the Marvel comic book giant, now 92 years old. (Lee, not Spidey.)

Lee isn't shy about lending his star power to various projects and products, so why not one of his properties?

This particular property is a 5,000-square-foot home on a small lot among the Hollywood Hills' famous Bird Streets that the savvy businessman bought in 2012 for $3.4 million. It's now on the market for an even $5 million — nearly 50 percent more than he paid. It was built in 1939.
