Comic book and superhero lovers across the globe are grieving following the news that Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee died this morning at the age of 95.

Throughout his tenure as Marvel’s president and chairman, Lee helped create some of the biggest superheroes still appearing on the big screen today, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther, and the Fantastic Four. He’s also made a number of cameos in the modern-day film adaptations of his comic book heroes.

Rest in peace, Stan Lee. https://t.co/S8rdoBIdZ1 pic.twitter.com/kPKG4L4adT

#StanLee is gone. I don't know what to say other than that I was so very, very lucky to have gotten to know him and to work with and spend time with him. My life is better for it. All of our lives were better because he lived.

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.
