STAN LEE, 95 YEARS OLD
Stan Lee was never the type of person who let things like age come in between him and success. Every generation knows him as the creator of our beloved characters and franchises! We are sure you have at least heard of Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, Captain America, and Spiderman. Without this icon, the Avenger movies would not have been made. He retired from Marvel in the 90’s, though he nonetheless remained the biggest public figure in the comic book industry afterward. Sadly, his recent death in November 2018 has put a stop to all of that. We will surely miss the cameos he makes in the installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Rest in peace, you legend.
