It's hard to imagine a world without Stan Lee. The man, famously known for helping bring to life and writing characters such as The Amazing Spider-Man, The X-Men, Fantastic Four, and The Avengers has left an everlasting mark in the world of popculture, and his iconic visage has been seen in all forms of media - whether it be a picture of him standing proud and jolly alongside one of his creations, or acting in a cameo role in one of Marvel's big blockbuster films.
Sadly on November 12, the world said goodbye to this icon and real-life hero - who passed away at 95 and left a lot of fans across the world sad and in deep mourning.
Whether you met him in person or saw him through different interviews conducted through the years, Stan definitely had that presence and character that made you feel awed at the things he did, as well as feeling at ease whenever he went into his storytelling mode phase. He was an entertainer, and gave a lot of people the ability to look beyond real world problems through the pages of comics - where his characters told stories that people could relate to despite having these impossible abilities that many dared to dream and only hoped to have in life. Over six decades since he created these heroes and left his mark in the comic industry and beyond, Stan has truly become a key figure we will always remember. We're all "True Believers" thanks to his contributions, and many generations of readers will always be indebted to his works for being AMAZING.
As a tribute, Marvel - the company he helped build up to what it is now, released a loving tribute that looks at "The Man" and his legacy to fans and colleagues worldwide.
Rest in Peace, and Thank You Stan Lee.
