The hero behind the Marvel movies, Stan Lee, has left us on November 12, at age of 95. However, his great works that he contributed in the pop culture remain and always be remembered even by the new generation.  According to sources, Lee died due to pneumonia.

Lee co-created fictional characters including Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther, the X-Men, and—with his younger brother co-writer Larry Lieber, who is known for co-creating the characters Ant-Man, Iron Man, and Thor.

Aside from writing the stories of now popular Marvel movies, fans will never forget Lee for his cameos on such films and even some TV series. It seems a Marvel movie is not complete with his appearance even if it is just a few glance.
