Stan Lee
I shouldn't have to link anything to him, or introduce you to him, reader. In many ways, he is the face of comics. The reason for this is because of the many successful characters he created or co-created. During the Silver Age, Stan Lee co-created:
 |
| Spider-Man's first appearance, Amazing Fantasy #15. Recently sold for $1.1 Million |
- Spider-Man
- Iron Man
- Hulk
- Thor
- Hawkeye
- Nice Fury
- The Avengers
- The Fantastic Four
- The Silver Surfer
- The X-Men
- Daredevil
- Doctor Strange
The list truly goes on and on. In fact, Wikipedia shows approximately 340 characters that Stan Lee co-created, including villains (like Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, Electro, Galactus) and side characters (like Mary Jane Watson and Flash Thompson).
He has made dozens of cameos in TV shows and movies, many times playing himself, including favourites Mallrats, The Big Bang Theory, and a special cameo appearance on The Simpsons.
Still don't recognize him? Have you seen almost any Marvel superhero movie in the last 12 years??

Besides being a mega-star in the comic book industry, Stan has overseen, in some aspect, almost all of the Marvel TV and movie projects. And after years of writing, editing, and publishing comic books, in 2010 Stan Lee set up the Stan Lee Foundation to promote literacy, arts and education.
'Nuff Said!
Excelsior!
