The father of Marvel: ‘A Great Star Has Fallen’

 Stan Lee(Stanley Martin Lieber, Stan Lee) is the creator of Marvel's hero such as the X-Men, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and Hulk. Marvel Comics honorary chairman, Stanley passed away at age 96, at a medical center in LA on November 12. He had been fighting pneumonia for several years, and he was been under constant treatment due to his poor health. Stanley's spokesperson said, “on Monday, Stanley's L.A. house called for emergency medical assistance because of Stan’s poor health and he was taken to a medical center, but he died that day.” After his death, a photo on Stan Lee's official social media was posted with the words "1922-2018 Excelsior (meaning more high).”

 Many people have mourned him, especially the actors who play Marvel Heroes. Robert Downey Jr. who plays Iron Man, said, "I owe you a lot. Rest in peace." Tom Holland, the main character of Spider-Man, also honored him with the words "Marvel's father, the man who made so many people happy, the man who made a wonderful life, rest in peace, Stan." The New York Times covered the news of Stan Lee's death and said he played a big role in creating superheroes that encompass the general public culture.

 Born into a Romanian-Jewish family, he loved to read and write from childhood. At the age of 17, he stepped into Marvel Comics by working as a clerk assistant for Timely Comics (the name before Marvel Comics). Since then, he created nearly 700 superheroes, and their stories have built up Marvel series’ worldview like myths and legends.

 As the world's youngest living old man, he had a passion for Marvel Hero movies. His continuous cameo appearances in the Marvel movie series were exciting. So those who used to look forward to Stanley's appearance as a surprise cameo will be disappointed that they can no longer see him at movies. But according to Rousseau, Lee has already completed filming cameos for the 2019 Marvel series, including The Avengers 4. Stan Lee's hilarious roles in new films are expected to be seen in upcoming Marvel series releases.
