Legendary comics creator and master of the Marvel cameo, Stan Lee passed away on Monday, his family attorney confirmed to ABC News.
His death at the age of 95 sent shock waves through the publishing and movie world, with Lee creating so many of the famed characters that you see today on the big screen in films like "Avengers" and "Black Panther."
Disney, who acquired Marvel almost a decade ago, released a statement from CEO Bob Iger that read, "Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created. A super hero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain, and to connect. The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart."
