Stan Lee
Stan Lee is an actor, director, writer, producer and voice actor who was born in 1992. He is most known for his role as president of Marvel Comics. Stan Lee is the man who led Marvel Comics from a small time comic producer to the huge multimedia monster it is today. It was also Stan Lee who invented many of our favorite superheroes, such as The Avengers, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man.
Howard Mackie
The ''Identity Crisis" story like however, was written by Howard Mackie, an American comic book writer and editor who is best known for his work in writing the Ghost Rider comics. Although I couldn't find any interviews or reasons as to why Mackie decided to write this story-line. My top two guesses are followed.
Guess one: Money. A new story line where Peter Parker was no longer Spider-Man would surely sell more comics to people who wanted to know what was going on.
Guess two: a story new audiences could relate to. Though its nos explicitly stated by all, everyone goes through a time in their life when they are just trying to figure out who they are. The Identity Crisis story line draws easy parallels with that part of life. Not everyone can relate to being the nerdy guy, or somehow obtaining superpowers: but everyone can relate to trying to figure out who you are.
