Today Stan Lee is gone , but never forget the legacy he’s left behind.

Spiderman taught me that even heroes have ordinary problems.  Hawkeye showed me that even regular people can accomplish great things by working at it hard enough.  The X-Men perhaps more than anything taught me that it was OK to be different in a time I really needed to know that.

The characters he created, and the stories he weaved have touched the hearts of millions, if not billions, and will continue to the end of time.  He forged from ink and paper, a modern pantheon to rival the likes of Hercules, and King Arthur.  He helped the souls of many people to soar with flights of imagination, while reminding us all that we can be better people.  I’ll never forget you Stan.  Excelsior!
