Best Stan Lee Characters We’ll Never Forget

When you think of Marvel Comics, chances are you instantly think of Stan Lee and his characters. Sadly, as you might have heard, Lee passed away recently at the age of 95. His millions of fans will miss greatly him. For many, Lee will live on forever in the characters he created. What better way to honor him than by remembering the characters we’ll never forget?

While Lee is known for being the grandfather of superheroes, it wasn’t always that way. As a teenager, he started working for Timely Publications as a “gofer.” Eventually, he worked his way into writing for their comics. From those humble beginnings, he revolutionized the comic book industry in the 1960’s and created a foundation for other comic book writers and artists to build upon. Many of his characters have become pop-culture icons, branching out into toys, video games, cartoons, and live-action films.

Lee’s ability to create realistic, relatable characters with weaknesses and flaws proved his most powerful strength. Though they had extraordinary powers, they were people just like all of us, which made them even more real and beloved. Over the years, he’s created hundreds of superheroes and super-villains (Asbestos Man, anyone?), but of course, only a handful we’ll never forget.

We’ll miss you, Stan Lee; thank you for everything!
