Stan Lee, the man who created Spiderman, The Avengers and The Fantastic Four has died.
Variety magazine is reporting that the 95-year-old was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday after suffering a medical emergency and was declared dead shortly afterwards. They had confirmed the information with Lee's daughter's lawyer.
A prolific writer, Lee transformed Marvel Comics in the 1960s into a cultural phenomenon, creating stories that were socially relevant.
Stan Lee in 1968: "Racism and bigotry are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today ... The only way to destroy them, is to expose them — to reveal from the insidious evil they really are."
