No, he didn't.
1. All characters created at Marvel Comics until the early 1980s- including those created by Stan Lee- were owned completely by Marvel, NOT Stan Lee, NOT Jack Kirby, NOT Steve Ditko. None of them get any $$ from "ownership" of the characters, so what was there to 'steal'?
2. Steve Ditko is the CO-creator of Spider-Man, but Stan Lee came up with the concept. Stan gave Ditko the assignment to come up with the look for a new character to be called Spider-Man, a shy teen who lived with his elderly aunt and uncle. Ditko came up with the costume and web-shooters. Ditko himself refers to Spider-Man as "our [Stan Lee & Steve Ditko's] creation."
Stan Lee has given credit to Ditko, Kirby and others as the artists who created the visual looks of the characters they worked on and, where applicable, as story plotters/co-plotters since the beginning. Monetary renumeration was not in Stan's jurisdiction- he was Editor-in -Chief, not owner of the comopany, and he had to abide by corporate policy like everyone else, whether he agreed with it or not.

In Super Smash Bros Brawl if you are Kirby and you suck up another Kirby that has the power of another character will your Kirby have the power of the other Kirby?
Yes. The Kirby that eats the Powered Kirby will steal the other Kirby's power. However, a Kirby eating a Kirby will result in Kirby getting Kirby's powwer. He has the power to suck up other characters and steal THEIR powers. Very useful I must say.

I'm pretty sure that bernie/florian goves you an infernus, but i dont think you can keep it because mine went away. But the one steve asks you to steal you can just park it at your safehouse, save, and there will be the same infernus in the same place you stole it from but you still keep yours.
Who is stronger Kirby or Yoshi?
I think that Kirby is stronger I mean have you seen how cool he saves his life to start floating and when he runs out he can alllways use his sword, Yoshi on the other hand can only jump once. and when someone uses a special move like Mario and Kirby is cornered just turn into a rock. and also Kirby can inhale his enemies and steal there pwer, for example Kirby inhales samus Kirby uses samus's cannon and gets a cool new look. the suckish part is you get hit to many you might lose it. Yoshi just sticks out his tongue grabs them and puts them in the egg, I am saying it;s bad I say it's preety good most of the time. well that is all now i will let you think about.
