Stan Lee, the real superhero of the Marvel series and the co-creator of unforgettable Marvel characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men, passed away yesterday. As per reports, he was aged 95.

Except for Captain America, any classic Marvel character, listing, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, has been co-created by Lee, with the help of fellow Marvel legends like Jack Kirby, Bill Everett, and Steve Ditko.
