You got it! Your turn.

More details on the hints. . . .

He was at the 2003 all-star game, the first ever Wild player to make it. He won the fastest skater there although Wes Walz beat him at the Wild's skills competition. They have that on a free weekend during the season and have events like autograph signings, a celebrity hockey game, etc. with all the proceeds going to their charitable foundation.

He recently funded the construction of a small arena in Trencin, Slovakia, where he grew up and played junior hockey and played professionally during the NHL lockout. I believe his family and friends run the place since he's obviously not there most of the year.

Marian Gaborik seems to have different hairstyles in different photos which made this harder for a non NHL fan like me. Changing themes quite a bit, I am going to pick someone who actually has different faces. This guy's head is not actually connected to his body... it just floats above his shoulders. His head has (at least) 3 faces and he rotates his head as needed so that the face which is speaking is oriented with the front of his body. This is a rather powerful dude.

Since there are no immediate guesses, a few basic clues might be in order. You probablly guessed that this is not a real person. In fact, this is a comic book character created by the great Stan Lee.

Time for another clue... When I was reading comics, this guy was the most powerful being in the Marvel comics Universe. Now I see, he has been demoted to Number Two. Still he is much more powerful than wimps like Galactus, the Hulk (any version), Phoenix, etc.

This is an area I'm not too strong on and would only know the really famous ones, but 30 minutes on google didn't help either. Is this a less well known Lee creation?

Ok, just saw you reposted when I tried to submit this, I think that will help me.

Well, no movie deals for him yet, so yep, he is not one of the more well known characters. However, because of his total omnipotence, most people who are familiar with Marvel Comics will have heard of him.

He was last seen (I think) in connection with an artifact known as the the Infinity Gauntlet which gives the owner complete control over space, time, matter, energy, thought, etc. But still this was not enough to have any effect on this guy, except that it did attract his attention.

His corresponding character in the DC universe would be the Spectre. And there was a DC/Marvel cross-over where they paired up. (Bear in mind that Stan Lee did not create the Spectre and thus the Spectre is simply not as cool.)
