If you happen to be a Comic Book freak or a Marvel fan, then November 2018 is definitely the month and the year you wish would never have existed! Stan Lee, legendary writer, editor and publisher of Marvel Comics, whose fabulous yet flawed creations made him a real-life superhero to comic book lovers everywhere, has taken a bow and laid rest at the age of 95.
Often playing the role of the behind the scene guy, Stan Lee was responsible for some iconic Marvel characters that has made such global reputation such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, Hulk, Fantastic Four and among other countless characters.
Lee took the final bow on Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and various sources were gathered to confirm the death of the iconic Marvel Comics legend.
I am a huge fan of X-men (Wolverine to be exact), a character that speaks a lot about controlled personality with so much from within that the world needs to know. Recent times, Thor and Captain America became my instant favorites due to the leadership and screen impacts that these two iconic characters bring about.
Still can't believe my eyes that the man behind our heroic childhood memories, even till date, is no longer around. Damn, I am certainly going to miss Stan Lee's cameo appearances! One of those that I truly anticipate the most in any Marvel films, just a single bit of him creates so much of impression of what he has brought to the Marvel Comics!
"I used to think what I did was not very important," he told the Chicago Tribune in April 2014. "People are building bridges and engaging medical research, and here I was doing stories about fictional people who do extraordinary, crazy things and wear costumers. But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed."
To me, Stand Lee was marvelous enough to come up with mind blowing Marvel characters and he was living it in his own league like the perfect craftsman! He was unbelievably extraordinary as the characters he created and his scale of imagination was something to really look up to, and it definitely exceeded what a normal human being would achieve.
He had the power to inspire, entertain and connect Marvel fans from across the globe and his legacy will continue to live forever.
As fictional as it may sound, let's get a little metaphorical. Stan Lee, we (Marvel fans), believe that you are not dead, but just permanently shifted to a universe specially dedicated for you, The Marvelous Stan Universe.
