The feisty writer, editor and publisher was responsible for such iconic characters as Spider-Man, X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther and The Fantastic Four — 'nuff said.
Stan Lee, the legendary writer, editor and publisher of Marvel Comics whose fantabulous but flawed creations made him a real-life superhero to comic-book lovers everywhere, has died. He was 95.
Lee, who began in the business in 1939 and created or co-created Black Panther, Spider-Man, X-Men, The Mighty Thor, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Ant-Man and other characters, died early Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a source told The Hollywood Reporter.
He lived a long and fruitful life, and he managed to turn his dreams come true, so I guess that's good. I know his last years he was severely mistreated by his children and their lawyers, so at least I hope he managed to get out of that before he died.
I was actually just thinking a few days ago how with his age he likely won't be with us much longer so this news comes off as especially disheartening. It was starting to feel as though he was immortal but I know his spirit will live on. I'm such he'll cameo in the next few Marvel movies up for release (maybe until or after Spider-Man: Far From Home) and we'll still get to see him in Wreck-It Ralph 2.
