"He would talk about prejudice, racism," said Robert Scott, owner of the San Diego-based comic book store, Comickaze. "I mean the X-Men, here was a group of people who were only trying to do good things and only trying to help and they were constantly ostracized by being mutants."
"That was the revolution that Stan Lee did," says David Goyer to the press, screenwriter of Marvel's "Blade." "He was the first one to create, with Spider-Man, superheroes who doubted themselves, who were tormented, who were unhappy."
Marvel also paid tribute to Lee on its website by putting on one of Lee's famous quotes, together with his photo.
The quote goes, "I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people's lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you're able to entertain, you're doing a good thing."
A savvy businessman, Lee spearheaded Marvel from a tiny geek shop to the top of the Hollywood food chain. His characters are now responsible for the biggest box office smashes, revenues of billions worldwide, and employment for tens of thousands of around the globe.
Praise and accolades from his Hollywood peers and colleagues was unstinting.
President of Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige lauded Lee's unparalleled impact on the industry. "No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee," Feige said. "Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with his daughter, his family and the millions of fans who have been forever touched by Stan's genius, charisma and heart. Excelsior!"
