While it isn't much of a surprise, Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee died today at the ripe old age of 95. What a life!
According to TMZ, an ambulance was rushed to his home this morning and he died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Lee is famous for co-creating Spider-Man, The Hulk, Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Avengers. Many rock and metal personalities have already taken to social media to pay tribute.
Stan Lee was a visionary and a pioneer. I owe a lot to him for personally shaping my childhood fantasy worlds, my appreciation for art on all levels, & for teaching me humanness and humility through his wonderfully insightful stories. He will be missed. Long Live FOOM ! pic.twitter.com/coMUHWXGKV

Stan Lee was one of the architects of our childhoods. What he & his band of astounding co-creators did was incalculable. Peter Parker & Spider-Man were THERE for US. If you are a Comic Book Person – the passing of An Age Is Upon Us. It might not be Ragnarok… but it’s CLOSE! https://t.co/b8oZN4LDnI

I can’t even LOOK at my BOOKS NOW. Stan Lee lived long enough, to see his visions CHANGE THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD. That-By ITSELF-is AMAZING https://t.co/2EjjwsrJWP

Hey San Francisco, I’ll be at the Bindery in Haight tonight. Let’s do an individual toast to every character Stan Lee had a hand in creating and get blackout hammered. He will always be “the Man”, we love you, Stan Lee.
