Very sad news today about the passing of Marvel founder Stan Lee.

So many of us spent our youth lost in his imaginary world of comic book adventure. 

We have Stan Lee to thank for creating or co-creating Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, the X-Men, Hulk and countless other heroes and villains - most of whom leaped from the pages of comic books into the silver screen. Lee's impact on pop culture is immense. 

Famously, the Ramones covered "Spider-Man" as a bonus track for their last album.

Tributes are flooding social media today by Stan Lee’s famous fans who have been impacted by his loss and want to share their appreciation for the world he created.

RIP Stan Lee. #kiss #marvel #comics #stanlee #vale #rip pic.twitter.com/AafSWGXJMB

We’ve lost a creative genius. Stan Lee was a pioneering force in the superhero universe. I’m proud to have been a small part of his legacy and .... to have helped bring one of his characters to life. #StanLee #Wolverine pic.twitter.com/iOdefi7iYz

What a man. What a life.
When I first broke into Hollywood, he welcomed me with open arms and some very sage advice I’ll forever take to heart.
A true icon who impacted generations around the world.
Rest in love, my friend. #imagination #stanlee pic.twitter.com/dw3FXMgyHp

I really don’t have words to describe what Stan meant to me. I don’t know how to quantify what his imagination meant/means to my life. Everything I have ever done creatively has been influenced by The Man, a constant in my life for 50 years. In The Man’s own words, “‘Nuff said.” #Excelsior #MMMS #FOOM #SOAPBOX #StanLee

For all the true believers...RIP Stan Lee. Edit: I had the pleasure of meeting Stan at his Comicazee show and we got a picture together. I was going to post that but it is hands down the creepiest picture ever taken of me. I look like a hunch backed serial killer. So enjoy this awesome photo of Stan instead. If anyone can get me the photographers name I’ll list a credit. Lots of love. #RIPStanLee
