Stan Lee Dead: Marvel Comics’ Real-Life Legend dies at 95

Nov 12, 2018

Stan Lee, the feisty writer, editor and publisher, who was responsible for such iconic characters as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther and the Fantastic Four, has reportedly died. He was 95.

Lee was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he later died, according to TMZ.

It is understood that he had suffered several illnesses over the last year or so including a bout of pneumonia and vision issues.

We lost a hero. He may not have worn a cape or a cowl, or wielded a hammer or shield, but with a pen he had a power that would make Thor shudder. The work of Stan Lee will inspire people for generations to come. Rest in peace to a man who means more to me than he could ever know. pic.twitter.com/TiHXwx2zor

The family attorney also confirmed his death to the Associated Press.

“An ambulance was rushed to his home Monday morning and he was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.”

Other multiple sources say Lee, who began in the business in 1939 and created or co-created Black Panther, Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Mighty Thor, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil and Ant-Man, among countless other characters, died early Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

On his own and through his work with frequent artist-writer collaborators Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko (who died in July) and others, Lee catapulted Marvel from a tiny venture into the world’s No. 1 publisher of comic books and, later, a multimedia giant.
