Yesterday, on the 12th of November, one of the most famous American superhero comic book writers and publishers, Stan Lee, passed away. Alongside other legends - Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko - he created such iconic heroes as Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Black Panther, and many more Marvel characters, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered by generations to come.
We feel that there's no need to list all of Stan Lee's accomplishments further, but in memoriam, we'd like to share a couple of random facts about the Marvel universe creator. Before being known as Stan Lee, Stanley Martin Lieber wrote obituaries for celebrities and created training films for the army together with Dr.Seuss. And of course, you know the fact that Stan Lee always has a cameo in every Marvel superhero movie, but that is actually a part of his contract with the enterprises. Also, up until his death, Stan Lee received a hefty 1 million dollars each year just for being himself. That's what you get for being a legend!
Fans all over the world are already sharing tribute art in honor of this legendary man, and even Hollywood celebrities like Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. expressed their condolences. The Marvel comics Stan Lee created were a massive part of many peoples' childhoods, and even though he passed away, a warm memory of him and his kindness will forever stay with us.

Cutest picture on internet today, it should be #1. Edit : Thank you everyone for making it #1.
Valhalla! Of course, myth has it that Odin took a famous poet (Snorri Sturluson, I think) to Valhalla to entertain the Thanes, so of course a person so impactful on Today's culture society would beling there!!
I think it would be awesome and a fitting tribute if Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Josh Brolin, and pick any Spider-Man (lol) were pall bearers at his funeral.
The wit, the muscles, the genius and the gorgeous redhead. That pretty much seems like heaven to me.
This one's also a photoshop that crops out the original artist's signatures: 345424_201..._large.jpg
This one just shows the love for his characters in his eyes.
A new character taken from DC's Mister Miracle mini series in 2018 that it's obviously inspired by Stan The Man Lee... it even uses his catchphrase
RIP Stan Lee. You will be missed. Thank you for brightening the childhood days of so many. Also, has anyone else noticed the onion cutting ninja infestation all over BP? They’re practically crawling all over this post. Fuck them. I’m out of tissues.
I bet the Avengers can stop the infestation.
i think the ninjas already got to them...
I have to go to Costco. A 4 pack of tissue will not be enough.
*hands new tissues to TheLobster*
You the real MVP Night Owl

They plan to (include the cameos)!
Glad they thought of that ahead of time. My mother was crushed similarly when Alfred Hitchcock died as he made cameos in all of his movies too. Gonna miss Stan Lee. Too many good people dying lately. Let's hope all of those artists he's influenced over the years create similarly fantastic comics. None will be as good as the master, but they can still inspire more to create the wonderful world of comic superheroes.
Yesterday when he died, I was so devestated. In science class, we stopped learning for a day and instead wrote goodbye letters to him. I'll really miss him. 😭
