Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee dies aged 95

American comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95, according to his daughter.

The legendary comic book writer and producer was the man behind Spiderman, Black Panther, X-Men and many more iconic creations.

Lee was fully on board with his material getting adapted into big-budget Hollywood films for the past two decades.

Even when it seemed as if the studio system wasn't doing his work justice (we're looking at you, X-Men 3. And Spider-Man 3. And Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), Lee was more than happy to show up for what has become trademark cameos.
