Excelsior! Stan Lee Passes Away

Yesterday we got some pretty sad news. Stan Lee, creator of the Marvel Universe passed away at 95. Responsible for some of our favorite super heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America, our Marvel films will never be the same. His cameos were some of the best easter eggs viewers looked forward to. Last spotted in Venom as a dog walker who encouraged Eddie to stay in a relationship. Will we see a cameo in Avengers 4? We’ll see! But I’m sure it’ll get a huge round of applause.

Favorite Cameos

We get this great scene from Captain America: Civil War and Tony Stank!

Will we ever find out his role from the Guardians?

Or in Thor trying to pick up Mjolnir

But I think his finest work is as Thor’s hairdresser. Thank you Taika!

 

Reactions from the Marvel Universe

Captain America

There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!

THANK YOU, @TheRealStanLee. You gave us characters that continue to stand the test of time and evolve with our consciousness. You taught us that there are no limits to our future as long as we have access to our imagination. Rest in power! #EXCELSIOR #StanLee #rip pic.twitter.com/hnSmnHIDln

We’ve lost a creative genius. Stan Lee was a pioneering force in the superhero universe. I’m proud to have been a small part of his legacy and …. to have helped bring one of his characters to life. #StanLee #Wolverine pic.twitter.com/iOdefi7iYz

I am so grateful to have known and worked with this man, even briefly, over the years. He quite literally changed the landscape of entertainment forever. The term “Legend” seems to get thrown around a lot these days, but this man is most deserving of it. Thank you for everything, Stan. May the heavens be made more colorful with your arrival. Excelsior. 🙌 #ripstanlee
