Incluso si hay alguien a quien no le suene el nombre de Stan Lee, es seguro que ha visto alguna de sus creaciones, ya sea en un cómic, serie o producción cinematográfica. Así es la trascendencia de Stan "the Man".
Se trata de la mente detrás de íconos como Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Doctor Strange... Su intención con cada personaje era que el lector o espectador tuviera algo en qué seguir pensando, no contenido "sin sentido".
En otras palabras, se le reconoce por ponerle el lado "humano" a los superhéroes. Es por ello que grandes figuras del espectáculo le están rindiendo homenaje, luego de que se dio a conocer su muerte este 12 de noviembre, a los 95 años de edad.
He changed the way we look at heroes, and modern comics will always bear his indelible mark. His infectious enthusiasm reminded us why we all fell in love with these stories in the first place. Excelsior, Stan.

There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!
