A real legend. Also slightly controversial. Only begrudgingly gave co-creators credit.

Somehow I am sad that all my heroes have been dying one by one in the past years...

RIP Stan the Man. Thanks for everything!
I can't imagine my childhood without Marvel Comics. The word 'Legend' is often overused when some people die but in Stan Lee's case that tag is well deserved. A true legend.

Stan Lee.... A man of many words, but there are no words for his impact on pop culture and the zeitgeist.
I can’t imagine the career of my Idol Kevin Smith existing without Stan paving the way.
Was beyond lucky to get to meet the man and see him talk at his last ever European appearance and our first ever LONDON Comic Con in 2014. R.I.P. You will be missed.

Hello again.
Yes indeed, a sad day for Marvel fans. My favourite always has been Spiderman. As a boy I was given the Spiderman annual one Christmas and from then no other superhero got a look in. The fact that he had flaws and made mistakes made Spiderman all the more believable.
When Xmen movies came out, again I was intrigued by the concept of people who were different genetically being discriminated against. Again, it was relatable and the parallel with the real world was cleverly observed.
As someone with bipolar, I experienced misunderstanding from relatives and discrimination when applying for jobs.
Stan Lee with all his collaborators has created a gallery of characters that will endure forever...
"With great power,comes great responsibility."

When I was a youngster, I was never really a fan of The Hulk, Spiderman, or The Avengers. What I loved were monster comics! And you couldn't get more monstrous than Marvel's Dracula Lives, which I discovered later was a UK comic made up of edited episodes from American comics featuring Dracula, Werewolf and Frankenstein. The artwork was incredible, and the dialogues - unlike UK comics - were plentiful and really sold the atmosphere of the given story. Thank you, Stan Lee, for proving to me that horror was a genre that would stay with me for ever, and it was perfectly acceptable to be a fan of that. Also, that comic strips were (and are) a perfectly legitimate way of telling stories.
Excelsior!

Such a shame, very sad news. He was such huge personality, always seemed happy to tell the same anacdotes for 50 years. Can't think of many other people who will have the same sort of legacy as him.
His final movie cameo will be sad.
I have been trying to find a video I watched ages ago about Diablo Cody meeting Stan, she freaks out and it's brilliant. Had anyone seen that?

He brought so many people so much joy, myself included.
