I started writing this outline (number 130!) after I heard that the legendary comic book writer Stan Lee had passed away. Here is a crossover of classic Sesame Street and comic book superhero characters, some of whom were Stan Lee's creations. Plus, Ernie eats cookie in bed, Farley uses his imagination, and Cookie Monster competes on Beat the Time.

RIP Stan Lee, a true icon of American pop culture. Thank you for giving us Spiderman, Iron Man, the Flash, Thor, the X-Men, and more indelible characters. You will be remembered for generations to come.

Big Bird is playing with his toy truck at the Fix-It Shop when one of the wheels falls off. Inside the shop, Maria and Luis hear his cries for help, and they transform into superheroes (spoofing Wonder-Woman and Superman, respectively).
