Stan Lee, one of the masterminds of the Marvel comics universe, has died at 95.
Lee was the creator of dozens of now-iconic comic-book heroes, including Spider-Man, X-Men, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and Black Panther.
All of those characters have since been adapted into hugely popular budget-busting films, most of which were made after entertainment giant Disney bought Marvel for $4 billion in 2009.
Lee’s work creating characters for Marvel spanned the 1960s and into the early 1970s.
