Stan "The Man" Lee consiguió dar una vuelta al concepto de "superhéroe". Si el Superman de Shuster y Siegel era la quintaesencia del superhéroe, valiente, fuerte, infalible, Lee dotó de humanidad al superhéroe.
Stan Lee dio voz a los marginados, a los raros, a los empollones, a los rechazados. Sus héroes (Spider-Man, The X-Men) no eran populares, no eran aclamados, no eran los mejores. Eran marginados, eran temidos y odiados por ser diferentes. Pero no por ello dejaron de luchar. Los superhéroes de Stan Lee eran poderosos, sí, pero conscientes de su poder. Conscientes de que un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad.
A continuación, hemos recopilado algunas de las reacciones que se han producido tras conocerse el fallecimiento del maestro:
Thanks for everything Stan Lee! What a life, so well lived. I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have gotten to meet you and to have played in the world you created.— chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) 12 de novembre de 2018

Sad, sad day. Rest In Power, Uncle Stan. You have made the world a better place through the power of modern mythology and your love of this messy business of being human... pic.twitter.com/x6yZ6ClNSX— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) 12 de novembre de 2018

We’ve lost a creative genius. Stan Lee was a pioneering force in the superhero universe. I’m proud to have been a small part of his legacy and .... to have helped bring one of his characters to life. #StanLee #Wolverine pic.twitter.com/iOdefi7iYz— Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) 12 de novembre de 2018
Thank you for filling our childhoods with such joy. You will be dearly, dearly missed... pic.twitter.com/Qt2sZqaNlc— Russo Brothers (@Russo_Brothers) 12 de novembre de 2018
His contribution to Pop Culture was revolutionary & cannot be overstated. He was everything you hoped he would be & MORE. I loved this man & will never stop missing him. They say you should never meet a childhood idol. They are wrong. #RIPStanTheMan pic.twitter.com/6OKH07ahJg— Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) 12 de novembre de 2018
There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) 12 de novembre de 2018
No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with his daughter, his family, and his millions of fans. #ThankYouStan #Excelsior!— Kevin Feige (@Kevfeige) 12 de novembre de 2018
