LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 -- Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95.
Lee's representative, Dawn Miller, confirmed that Lee passed away Monday at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles from a medical emergency.
Creator and Co-creator of such iconic fare as Spider-Man, the Mighty Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, the X-Men, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil and Ant-Man, Lee's beloved characters and storylines have transformed the entertainment landscape of the world.
Stanley Martin Lieber was born on Dec. 28, 1922, in New York City, but took the name Stan Lee later in life, Lee began a career in comics at Timely Comics in 1939.
Later he frequently collaborated with writer-artists, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others, to catapult Marvel from a struggling publishing house to the world's number one publisher of comic books and eventually into the entertainment powerhouse that took Hollywood by storm.
"I used to think what I did was not very important," Lee told the Chicago Tribune previously. "People are building bridges and engaging in medical research, and here I was doing stories about fictional people who do extraordinary, crazy things and wear costumes. But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed."
"Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created," said Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger, who is himself a Hollywood icon. "A superhero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain and to connect. The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart."
