X-men, Blank Panther, hulk and Spider-man were some of the Stan Lee creations that went on to become blockbusters. Chairman of Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, called Lee “ a superhero in his own right” in a statement. “The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart” he said.
Over the years, Stan was widely recognized for his remarkable accomplishments, receiving the National Medal Arts and being inducted into the Will Esner Award Hall of Fame. Stan Lee leaves behind one of the most influential careers in pop culture history. Disney Marvel Studios, which created a cinematic universe based on Lee’s creations, has had 20 straight No. 1 openings at the box office.
