All Stan Lee in Peril Locations (with pictures)

Just like students in peril from Lego Harry Potter and citizens in peril from Lego Batman 2, Stan Lee in peril is a side activity in which you must save someone who is in trouble. In this case, it's Stan Lee, who-along with other people such as Jack Kirby-created The Fantastic Four, Spiderman, and almost all other well-known Marvel characters.

To save Stan from whatever danger he somehow got himself into, you just need to find where he is and use your powers to save him.

There are a total of 50 Stan Lee in peril situations:

• 15 are in story levels (one for each of the 15 levels)
  
• 11 are in bonus levels (again, one per level)
  
• 24 are in the Manhattan hub (although unlike the ones found in levels, these must be found in a certain order)

Saving Stan Lee from all of the perils will not only unlock the Stan-tastic achievement, but also unlock him as a playable character. Stan Lee is one of the most useful characters in the entire game, as he has multiple abilities including telekinesis, magnetism, and super sense to name a few (he can even turn into Stan-Hulk!). Unfortunately, it will take a long time to unlock him, as one of his perils is in the Bro-tunheim bonus level, which requires 200 gold bricks.

This guide will tell (and show) you where to find Stan Lee in each situation and what to do.

Saving Stan from each peril will require you to use a variety of characters that have certain abilities. If you complete the main story, you should be set on most of them and know how they all work*, although there are still some abilities that you will need:

Magnetism: Used to manipulate metal which is used for multiple perils. Can be acquired by purchasing Magneto for 150,000 studs after completing the story mission Magnetic Personality (or by unlocking Polaris).

Sand Manipulation: Used for sand pits that are required for some perils. Can be acquired by purchasing Sandman for 175,000 studs after completing the story mission Sand Central Station (or by unlocking Sandman goon).

Also, while this character isn't required, Super-Skrull is very useful for completing these perils (especially the ones in the Manhattan hub) since he can fly and has all of the Fantastic Four's abilties** (on a side note, if you complete story mode and purchase a magnetic and sand character, you should buy a symbiote character such as Venom or Carnage, so that you have every ability in the game).

*Except for building cosmic bricks, which Galactus can do (you'll unlock him when you beat the final level)
**Excluding the ability to use Mr. Fantastic pads

When you get inside Central Station, jump up to the left side. Destroy the mail box that's on Stan to free him. On the third section of the level (after the cutscene in the Daily Bugle), head forward and get onto the rooftop with the water tower. Destroy the silver pipes and use telekinesis to free Stan from the water tower. In the long hallway near the end of the level (right before the part when Venom does the jump-scare), there are four blue pods. Use magnetism to remove the blue panel to the left, then activate the claw switch that appears. It'll open the pods and save Stan. To the very left of the security gates in the first section is a Mr. Fantastic grate. Go through it, then use your super sense to reveal two pull hooks which will save Stan once pulled. At the start of the second room, you'll find Stan hanging on to the wall. Use the small sand area below him as Sandman to transform into a trampoline so he can jump down to safety. When you arrive in the big room where you first see Red Skull, fly up to the left and you'll see Stan being electrocuted. Destroy the generator objects next to him to save him. As soon as you finish the flying sequence at the start of the level, head up and you'll see Stan stuck under a silver object. Destroy it to free him. At the start of the garden section, you'll see Stan about to fall down near a small brown shed with fire on it. Get rid of the fire, then build the pieces that come from it into green handles. Once you pull it, build the pieces that come from that to build a trampoline which Stan will use to safely get down. In the second section of the castle when you have to save Nick Fury and the Human Torch, head all the way to the right and you'll see Stan in a cannon. Use super sense and pull the handle. Then melt the gold fuse to shoot Stan out of the cannon which lands him to safety. When you start the level, head up to the area where you have to climb a wall and move a pipe via pull handles. You'll see Stan trapped under metal to the right, so use magnetism on the metal to save him. In the second section of the level is a rotating object that you must walk across. To the right of it near the back of the room is a small platform that can be accessed either by flying or by climbing on a small rope. Stan is on the platform and trapped under a small piece of lego. Destroy it save Stan. In the second section, Stan is trapped behind fire near the end of the broken plane. Put them out to save him. In the room where you have to rotate a giant tube to reach Magneto is a silver ceiling that can be destroyed. Destroy it and Stan will fall down to safety. In the last room where you fight Doctor Doom is a claw switch towards the bottom-right side. Use it and then build the pieces that appear to create a control panel. Use the control panel to beam Stan from out of space. When you're team four (the last group that builds the giant Earth "cake"), head all the way up towards Galactus and you'll see Stan stuck in a jet. Use the Sandman pit next to it to free him.

As stated before, the perils that are found in the Manhattan hub must be found in a specific order, unlike the ones found in levels. Once you save Stan in the X-Mansion when trying to start the Juggernauts And Crosses level (see #1 in this section), you can save the other ones by following the order below (his icon will be on the map if you don't know which one to do).

Map below was made from scratch using screenshots of sections of the map since I couldn't find a full blank version of the map, so sorry if it isn't the greatest (also I made it a seperate link instead of posting it here so you won't have to keep scrolling up). Map also corresponds with the numbers below.
