Stan Lee - Excelsior!

[Umbran]

I know this is mentioned in the Remembrances thread, but the man had such an impact on genre fiction, I think he deserves his own thread.

Mr. Stan Lee, one of the fathers of modern comic books and superheroes, has passed, at the age of 95.

The man, the myth, the moustache.

Truly a shame, what a legend. I'm happy he still made a cameo in the new PS4 Spiderman game though. Every time that man made a cameo, made me smile.

They should put a life-sized bronze statue on the sidewalk in front of the Marvel Comics offices, just off to one side, of him dressed as the postman from his Fantastic Four cameo (with a mail bag full of comic books) just walking along delivering the mail, without a plaque or anything, just his name on his uniform's name tag... I think he'd get a kick out of that.

The next Thor comic should show - from a distance - a Valkyrie getting an urgent summons and heading for Midgard in a hurry. The shadow of Odin One-Eyed looks on in grave acknowledgement of the significant event, but speaks not.
