Rip stan lee
 

Stan Lee, the man who co-created Marvel Comics, has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told an ambulance rushed to Lee's Hollywood Hills home early Monday morning and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. We're told that's where he died.

Lee had suffered several illnesses over the last year or so -- he had a bout of pneumonia and vision issues.

Stan started Marvel with Jack Kirby in 1961 with The Fantastic Four. He went on to create Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man and The Avengers.

Stan made cameo appearances in all of the Marvel movies.

Lee had a rocky relationship with Marvel once the company went full-tilt Hollywood. He sued the company in 2002 for royalties he said he was owed for the first "Spider-Man" movie. Three years later he settled the case for $10 million.

Lee is survived by his daughter, Joan. His wife of 69 years, also named Joan, died in 2017.

Joan tells TMZ, "My father loved all of his fans. He was the greatest, most decent man."

Lee was 95.

Damn :cry:

RIP Stan Lee

Aw man. :(

RIP Stan.

I knew it was coming, but still....man...

Excelsior, Stan.

Looks like this time it's real. 95, though... any of us should be so lucky.

$hit. That's too bad. :tsad:

Even though I couldn't give a damn about Marvel and don't really pay attention to celebrities, I knew who Stan Lee was. He was definitely a legend of the entertainment business. He also seemed like a nice old man with a lot of energy and health for a man in his 90s. This news doesn't really affect me as much as it affects Marvel fans, and I'm also not very surprised he passed away because he was quite old already and he was hospitalised not too long ago, iirc. Old people can be in pretty good form one day and then suddenly break a bone or get another health issue and suddenly get a lot worse and eventually pass away not too long after.

May he rest in peace. I'm sure he had a full life and he doesn't have many regrets. He seems to have made it to his 90s without any major health issues for the most part. Not many are as lucky.

This is without a doubt one of the saddest days in the world of Marvel. I was fortunate to have him take a photo with me at a small expo back in 2016. What he contributed to the world of comics, TV and film is beyond remarkable. R.I.P.

I always looked forward to his small cameos in the movies, RIP Stan.

I hope the rumors are true that he did a bunch of random skits to be inserted into many, many Marvel movies from now into the future "just in case." Even if not, the odds are still pretty good he'll have cameos in Avengers 4 and Captain Marvel regardless.

Rip Stan Lee. Loved his cameos in tv shows and films.

95 is a good age, still sad though.

Rest In Peace, Excelsior!

A great man who created the greatest of heroes. RIP.

I wish I could have thanked Stan for all the joy his imagination brought into my life. What a legend.

People call him a "real life superhero" and you might think it's hyperbole until you think about the fact that without his hard work and creativity, these characters who inspired so many and brought happiness to so many would not exist. A true superpower, in my eyes.

Very well put. He has had such an impact on media and modern culture its ridiculous. He helped create so many beloved characters with the help of some incredible artist and help create a higher standard for the comic industry in regards to story telling. He will sorely be missed. But damn I will probably cry at the end of the next Marvel movie now when I see those words "In memory of....." :cry:

This is really depressing. The man was way more active than he should have been at his age, I honestly wish he spent the last few years of his life relaxing. If he had done that I'd be a little less sad to see him go.

RIP. One of the greats in comic books. With his passing a comic era is over.

Jack Kirby, Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger, Jerry Siegel, and others from the golden age abount the 1940's up to the 1960's are all gone. Lee was part of that. Years ago I was watching a Batman move that had something on Bob Kane, and Lee was there with Kane to see the opening of the 1989 Batman movie, and Kane would joke with Lee with lines I don't see a Spiderman movie :lol:. Yeah they loved joking around with each other.

Got to be proud of his accomplishments, how much he brought to generations of the entertainment industry. Glad he got to have 95+ good years on this earth, congratulations Stan Lee, we'll see you in heaven.

Did anyone here ever get to meet him? Even at a signing or something? Just stories to share and such.

I just started the Raimi trilogy. I might squeeze in an episode or two of the 90s animated series between movies, then finish off today slinging around the city with some Spider-Man PS4.

RIP, Stan.

A sad day indeed. I met Stan once, back in the '90s when I was 16 years old at a comic con. He was very friendly and open to sign as many comics as I wanted, and even cracked a few jokes. He shook my dad's and my hand, and was smiling the whole time. His personality made him the perfect spokesperson for Marvel.
It's a sad year as we lost both Stan and Steve Ditko this year. May they both rest in peace.

As long as they're not resting beside each other, that's probably a safe bet. :trazz:

Without these superheroes, we would probably not have the TMNT.

Stan Lee has made a huge impact in our lives. He has created characters that have resonated with everyone. His legacy will live on with his creations.

Sense Stan Lee helped create Daredevil there is a chance that you are right. TMNT was inspired by Frank Miller's version of DareDevil.

:tcry: This is probably the saddest news I've heard in a long time. Never even met the man, but I've always admired him from the first time I knew who he was. Spider-Man was and still is my first love in comics, along with the FF, Avengers, and so many others he created. This news breaks my heart.

One of the things I will remember most is having ALMOST had the chance to work with him on a web-comic back around 2007 or so, if memory serves. There was a contest to write a synopsis and sample pages of your own vision for a concept he had developed for a web-comic series, which was to be judged by him. The winner would get to co-write the comic with Stan. I submitted an entry, and though it wasn't chosen, I feel honored to know that Stan had at least read something I wrote. That's not something everyone can say. It was called The Seekers, for those who are curious to look it up.

Read that they pre-recorded his cameos already that could last a few more years. Good.

Yeah I was happy to hear that. I think Captain Marvel, Avengers, and Spider-man Far from home are all pretty much wrapped up or already in post production so he will have cameos in those movies, but I am wondering how many more cameos they have already recorded after that already?

Rest in peace. His best cameo was in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.

Indeed...

Oh boy, that had the same energy as that one Cartoon Network commercial on Nickelodeon



"This is a DC movie?!"


Well, it's a shame it's happened now. I was quietly hoping he'd make it to 100.

Or at least long enough to see Avengers 4... :cry:

I found out about his passing at my job I got a notification from The Washington Post on my phone.

It felt surreal to read the WP post at first, but as the other stories were blogged regarding his life, I felt somewhat better about getting to know some things about him.

I just found out the sad news. All I have to say is thank you, Stan Lee, for creating your great characters. You made my childhood happy. Rest in peace. My deep condolences to the Lee family.

Confirmed: cameos in A4 and Captain Marvel were both completed. Also "a good surprise" is alluded to (i.e., a nod to the rumors he shot a bunch of random cameo stuff that could slide into any future movies for decades):

If he spent a day or two in front of a greenscreen just doing random bits... who knows?

I think it would be cool to see Stan brought into the Marvel universe, whether that is the comics or the movies.

Even if it's only alluded to, in some higher-dimension-Grant Morrison-type way, I think it'd be cool to have Stan be the in-universe creator of the Marvel universe.

Welll he lived a long life and stayed healthy and fit through it all. I hope I'm that fortunate if I reach 95. R.I.P. Stan Lee.

What if Marvel Studios were to continue doing Stan Lee cameos. But it would be a CGI Stan Lee. Would that be going to far?

Everyone and their mother would be blogging/tweeting about it for cheap clicks about how immoral Marvel/Disney are even though Stan Lee would love to continue appearing in cameos.

I'm pretty sure he's been a character that lives in the Marvel Universe for decades now. I don't think anyone would want him as anything more than that

Well I don’t know. I’m at least one, and I want it. Far be it for me to think I’m the only one who ever dreamt it up.
