Disney CEO Bob Iger explained that Lee was as “extraordinary as the characters he created.”
“A superhero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain and to connect,” “Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created,” Iger said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter . “The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart.”
His contribution to Pop Culture was revolutionary & cannot be overstated. He was everything you hoped he would be & MORE. I loved this man & will never stop missing him. They say you should never meet a childhood idol. They are wrong. #RIPStanTheMan pic.twitter.com/6OKH07ahJg

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

Stan Lee created a universe where, if a character was beloved enough, they could never really die.
Now THAT’S thinking ahead.
Thanks for so much of my life. You’ll never not be in it.
