Marvel Creator Stan Lee Has Died at 95

A hero has fallen.

Stan Lee, the man responsible for pretty much all of the Marvel Universe, has died at 95

According to TMZ, an ambulance rushed to Lee's Hollywood Hills home early Monday morning and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he apparently died.

Lee had pneumonia recently and suffered from several ailments within the past year.

Alongside Jack Kirby, Lee started Marvel in 1961 with the illustrious Fantastic Four. From there, Lee went on to create Spider-Man, X-Men, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers and Iron Man.

Celebrities, fans and NASA have turned to social media to express their condolences:

Thank you @TheRealStanLee for the escape from this world & great joy inhabiting the ones you created!! You made so many believe in the good, the heroic, the villainous, the exciting, most of all, you were giving & gracious to us all. RIP

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.

At age 7, I drew this weird portrait of Stan Lee and asked my Mom to send it to him. Thankfully she didn't because 30+ years later, I got to give it to the great one in person. Thanks for all the fun Stan #Excelsior pic.twitter.com/IpfYBSjWyf
