RIP Stan Lee

(Source - http://hollywoodreporter.com)
Stanley Martin Lieber,  the world's Truest Believer, has passed away at the age of 95.

Co-creator of so many Marvel characters along with Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby; without any of the three, we would not have the MCU we know and love today.

But one of the true brilliance in the decades worth of Marvel movies was to have Stan Lee appear as a cameo; even in the Deadpool movies which Lee did not create. Hence, he has become the face and the brand alongside Marvel.

Always reported as one of the most genuine and friendly people to meet, fans ranging from world's famous actors and stars to anyone in the streets always have fond memories of encountering him.

As his health deteriorated in the last one year, Marvel Studios have filmed as many as six different cameos in advance for all the upcoming Marvel titles, from Dark Phoenix to the next Avengers movie and Spider-Man: Far From Home. These next few cameos will be seen as a celebration of the man, and the nerd, that was Stan Lee.

"Face Front, True Believers", we have a legacy to uphold.
