At age 7, I drew this weird portrait of Stan Lee and asked my Mom to send it to him. Thankfully she didn't because 30+ years later, I got to give it to the great one in person. Thanks for all the fun Stan #Excelsiorpic.twitter.com/IpfYBSjWyf

Stan Lee impacted us all in such a major way, and not just by bringing us epic stories. Superheroes have taught us so much about morality and empathy; what is right, and what is wrong.

Stan Lee created a universe where, if a character was beloved enough, they could never really die.
Now THAT’S thinking ahead.

He inspired millions with his myriad, “Marvelous” characters, from Spiderman to Black Panther, Thor to the X-Men. Legendary creator Stan Lee is dead at 95. But his stories will live on and continue to ignite the imaginations of generations to come. Rest with the stars, great sir.
