Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on September 24, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Marc Guggenheim! You're the superhero behind superheroes—crafting epic tales for Marvel and DC Comics, co-creating Eli Stone, and steering Arrow straight into our hearts. You've given us countless reasons to binge-watch TV while pretending we're "researching character arcs."

From courtroom miracles in Eli Stone to vigilante justice in Star City, your storytelling has kept fans glued (and occasionally yelling at screens). May your birthday be filled with fewer cliffhangers than an Arrow season finale—and may you always remember: With great power comes great responsibility...to keep writing awesome shows.

Here's to another year of heroic creativity!
