Police attended the home of comic book legend Stan Lee Thursday investigating a ‘battery’ allegation.
LAPD officers were seen entering the home just before 2pm and DailyMail.com understands Adult Protective Services (APS) was also in attendance.
APS is typically dispatched to deal with allegations of ‘elder abuse’, according to the LAPD, although it’s not clear whether Lee, 95, is the victim.
An LAPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com: ‘There’s a battery investigation at the 9100 block of Oriole Way, it’s still ongoing. We have three units there.’

DailyMail.com understands the allegation involves Lee’s long time road manager and bodyguard Max Anderson, a convicted felon.
In exclusive photos Anderson was seen outside the property with his lawyer Tom Lallas in a suit carrying paperwork.
Anderson has been Lee’s right hand man for years and acts as his road manager at comic book conventions, often seen in photo shoots alongside Lee.
Anderson – real name Mac Anderson – has a reputation for violence and intimidating behavior and also has a serious criminal past.
According to court records in Riverside, California he has a 2002 felony conviction for beating up and injuring his wife, for which he was jailed for 365 days in jail and 36 months probation.

Then in 2010, according to court records, he was found guilty of beating his son with a belt, putting him in a choke hold and slamming him on the floor.
The boy went to school with his arm in a sling which raised the alarm with teachers.
For that crime he was sentenced to 36 months probation, a fine and anger management and parenting classes.
It’s been a troubling few months for Lee.
In January the Marvel creator was hit with several allegations of sexual assault and harassment by nurses caring for him at his Hollywood Hills home.
DailyMail.com revealed that Lee is alleged to have repeatedly groped and harassed a string of young female nurses employed to care for him.

Later in January DailyMail.com revealed that Lee was alleged to have masturbated in front of a female masseuse at a Chicago hotel after groping the woman and demanding sex.
He carried out the sex assault after booking massage therapy in his hotel suite in April of last year, it is claimed.
A lawyer for the star vehemently denied all the allegations claiming they were a ‘shakedown’.
Lee is the former president and chairman of Marvel and co-created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the X-Men, Hulk among many other beloved comic book heroes.
Marvel is the highest grossing movie franchise in history having raked in $23billion at the box office and Lee as an executive producer boasts a personal fortune of around $50 million.

Also in January it emerged someone stole $300,000 from Lee with a fraudulent check.
Lee filed a police report after discovering that the money had been withdrawn without his knowledge.
Money managers for Lee discovered a check for the missing amount marked as a ‘loan’ that they believe may have been forged, according to TMZ.
The check in question was made out to ‘Hands Of Respect LLC’ which according to the gossip site is ‘a merchandising company’. Sources told TMZ that ‘neither Stan or his money managers wrote or authorized the transaction.’
Beverly Hills PD are investigating the possible forgery.
Then on Thursday it emerged that someone also used the comic book legend’s money to buy a condo.
It appears $850,000 of Lee’s money was used to buy the property in West Hollywood.
The revelation came to light after Lee’s team carried out a full audit of his accounts following the discovery of the first forged check.
