- Stan Lee is known to millions as the man whose superheroes propelled Marvel to its preeminent position in the comic book industry. His co-creations include some of the most well-known and beloved superheroes of all time including, Spider-Man™, The Avengers ™, X-Men™, Iron Man™, The Incredible Hulk™, The Fantastic Four™, as well as hundreds of others.
He was inducted into the comic book industry's The Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995. And now Stan is all set to launch his first original superhero for India, 'Chakra The Invincible,' on Cartoon Network.
Anyone else returning to this video years later and crying? November 12th 2018. A date to never forget. Many people had their greatest hero of all time pass today. RIP Stan Lee.
He will always be a inspiration to everyone
he inspired me to be myself. Thank you stan lee
He died on my cousins birthday, definitely not going to forget.
We miss you Stan Lee. Thank you for everything
He's out there somewhere true believers!
As a writer myself, I couldn't help but smile when Stan got to the part about writing for yourself instead of others. It just makes so much sense, and to hear it coming from him is the most validating feeling in the world.
R.I.P. You will be remembered, and your legacy carried on
I'm a writer too, and this was so inspirational for me to create new superheroes for my books! Have you published any books yet?
I hope to be a writer one day
I'm also a writer and listening to this really helped me to do better with writing
“As a writer myself” you don’t write bruh
Me and my cousins are inspired by Stan lee and marvel we are even starting our own universe!
This was inspiring..
Rest in Paradise Mr.Stan Lee
Bndit Just keep practicing & the more you practice, the more you will improve with each drawing! I say this because I was told by cyber bullies years ago I wasn’t smart enough to draw my own cartoon characters or write my own stories. I ignore them & dive into drawing. Now I am working on my own stories, Just draw every day! You will get better.
Mischief MakerStudios that was inspirational to me even!
he's dead 🧍🏽♀️
@@mischiefmakerstudios9900 nice
Lovely video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Fiyameronal Dumbfounded Framework (Have a quick look on google can't remember the place now)? It is a great one off product for learning how to design your own Iron Man suit without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work colleague finally got cool success with it.
"That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero."
-Stan Lee.
If there's one person who knows about super heroes it's this guy. As an adult I still love superhero stories especially, as Stan Lee says, when they're written well.
eesh, he didn't even create Captain America, Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Spider-Man, although being Stan Lee's most famous creation was not his first, his first was The Mighty Destroyer aka Kevin "Keen" Marlow, so there
One thing superhero stories tell us, that it's ok to admire, to idolize these cartoon characters no matter what your age is.
R.I.P Mr.Stan Lee.
*He's the true hero for making us happy*
thank you stan
your the true hero
*you’re
E Collects you're the true hero

No. I am.
You’re*

90% of comments - R.I.P Stan Lee
Rest In Peace Stan Lee, you are a true hero!
A superhero doesn't need any superpowers to become a superhero.
Just needs to be so heroic until achieves the "super" adjective.
Niv 'Mohnd Usually super stands for something not many can do. In case of Batman who doesn't have super powers, but has an intellect superior to most and an ability to deduce a lot of events. It's one perk that is different from others or most people and can use them to become super heroes. Heroic actions plus something not many people can do and you get a superhero.
An example is stan lee
Komon Kazuki is also a good example
I wise man once said with great power comes great responsibility- Stan Lee
Yes sir this man really got the point of that across that's what dc never did
He didn't invemt it🤦🏽♂️
This guy's a legend...
R.I.P Stan Lee, you will be missed...
YOU ARE MY SUPERHERO STAN. I love you and you are one of my heroes, I mean I take an example by you (sorry for my English if I've got a mistake). You changed my life and a billion people's lifes.
❤
Literally perfect English.
How do you know he changed the lives of a 7th of the world's population??
@@justsaiyan0567 Because he did.
Can Onur Oz great english!
He's like an eccentric grandfather giving me the secret on how he comes up with his bedtime stories.
you're a life saver Stan lee thank you.
R.I.P. StanLee 1922-2018
I'm nine years old. I have made superheroes myself. You were my inspiration Stan Lee.
Hey. I saw your comment three years later. What are you doing now?
Is it me or do you just love the sound of Stan’s voices.
Rest and piece the stand sleep well sleep well.
I'm almost glad that Stan isn't here to see what they've done to the MCU. But, missed? Oh, yeah, Stan the Man is very, very missed. There was never anyone like him before, and there will never be anyone like him in the future. RIP, sir.
Man this guy is a legend he needs to me remembered for eternity and he is so wise.
RIP STAN LEE
I love all characters Stan Lee made , he made the X- Men the first comic I read .
timothy fugatt
He also helped edit all of Marvel's greatest comics.
Don't forget Jack Kirby
watching this in 2019 and ready to cry my eyes out
Fairy Tales for grown ups
That hit the nail
The man know his craft
And Stan is the MAN.
Thank you for your words and for bringing your creations to live Stan lee May you rest in piece Hero.
Stan taught me much of what I know about writing as no doubt many others. I would not be the writer I am today if not for him. Thank you, Stan, for everything :)
The reason why I will always love this man is the passion he has for his superheroes. Just listen to him talk and you can see blatantly that he absolutely loves and put his heart into his work...you were the closest thing we had to an actual super hero sir RIP STAN LEE
This was so insparational, i felt like he was actually talking to me
Rest in Peace Mr. Stan Lee
I am Indian, and I LOVE Marvel, Superheros. It is my passion to direct films one day. This video is not only relatable, but it is also inspiring. I look up to Stan Lee alot to this day. The saying is right, Legends never actually die. Thanks TEDx, this video has really inspired me.
Legends live forever, as long as they are remembered. Stan Lee will live forever. In our memories, and in our hearts.
It's so good to have Stan's creativity for our beautiful country India 😌❤️🇮🇳
Not all heros wear capes. Rest in peace, stan. Exelsior.
U r an Idol for us Stand Lee.
Rest in peace in u r paradise.
Love from India 🇮🇳
Rip Stan Lee :( I will miss you and I will always remember you so sweet man!
I’m inspired of Stan Lee and I would like to make my own superhero, something different, a message. Rest In Peace Stan.
I want go read it
I use this as inspiration to hopefully one day get my own comic book stories published and start my own comic book company
I'm writing a book right now in 2018, and this is what I needed to hear...I thought of sending him a chapter, but I remembered that he became one of the brightest stars 😭😭 excelsior
When stan said - I loved talking to you . In the end
Tears started filling in my eyes
*"You know, i guess one person can make a difference"*
It’s so painful but important for me to keep coming back to the things he said. Stan Lee brings out my only super power, furiously taking notes and profusely crying at the same time
Whenever I see an awful comic or a creator beating a concept over someone's head or creating a comic for the wrong reasons I watch this video to remind myself that I am right, they are doing it wrong. Thank you Stan. Thank you.
thank you stan. thank you so much. rest in peace hero
Seeing tge late Stan Lee is bittersweet. His friendliness, humility and love for what he did and taking his time to share what he knows and then THANKING TEDEx for giving him the opportunity to speak is reminder of whom we lost.
Then when you see what MARVEL has become after his passing is just sad.
Stan lee will be remembered and never once forgotten R.I.P
R.I.P STAN
you will never be forgotten we love you❤💕
Stan lee had a mind of a hero he’s made peoples lives more energetic more enjoyable
I’d like to see the 26 people who disliked this video
Who else saluted Stan Lee at the end? Rest in peace, Stan, you have inspired multiple generations and will continue to for perhaps forever. Thank you.
RIP Stan Lee and thank you for your advice and teaching
Jerry694111 he didn't ask for those cameos and the movie adaptations were based on his and the awesome artists he worked with created. He's in his 90's so he got that "air" around him, most men after 75 yrs of age become one. Stan got all those knowledge because he's been working on something he cares about for decades so obviously he would teach you a thing or two, without him there won't be any x-men or spiderman and I won't be commenting here I would be a boring man working my ass off. I read those books out loud as a kid that's how I learned my English. And as an adult I learned from him and countless many writers the beauty of storytelling. Without him and the many artists he worked with I wouldn't know about bigotry (x-men) and power & responsibility (spiderman). So please don't hate on a master storyteller.
I’m not sure who will see this since the original post was years ago, but I wanted to pass this story along. Often, when we have a chance to finally meet our hero’s are let down or shocked to see them and not just their illusions of them. This was not the case of someone I know who was able to meet Stan Lee. He has been a comic book fan all of his life and went to a comicon where Stan Lee was going to be speaking. By great fortune, he got onto an elevator at the convention and Stan Lee happened to be on the same elevator. He said that Lee was gracious and happy to meet a fan, he answered questions and open and kind. The experience left a great impressions and meeting Lee was everything he had hoped it would be ever since he was a kid.
"Anyone can be a hero"
-Stan Lee, Spiderman Into the Spider-verse end credits
His enthusiasm shines through every second of this video! ^_^
May his memory be a blessing.
Listening to his voice just makes my day R.I.P Mr.Lee
It's now 2022 and he died in 2018 R.I.P Stan Lee the Great creator of Marvel 1922 - 2018 i am crying for years. I will always miss you and remember you stan Lee. My only wish is that he can come back alive again this year...
I miss him. He was everyone’s beloved grandpa who told us some of the best fairy tales we ever heard.
Whenever I have a good idea for a comic book, I think of it and then listen to Stan lee and he always inspires me.
What a treasure he is, Stan will be missed.
Excelsior!
I hope you're in heaven hanging out with all of your creations
Rest In Peace Stan. :,(
R.I.P to this legend. You shall forever be remembered in our hearts for giving us such iconic and legendary superhero’s. ❤️
The smile on my face when he mentioned Spider-Man's origin😁
R.I.P Stan
Spider-Man is my favorite superhero.
arsenalgaming your right on my parts

Me too bro
Same here
Spider-man is the best superhero ever
Rest In Peace ✌️

Stan lee is a real life super hero
He's the real hero he knows he is aswell
Thank you very much Stan Lee sir this was very inspiring for me.., But we really miss you 😔
R.I.P Stan "the man" Lee
You'll always be remembered.
I came up with a group of six superheroes. All I need is a universe and story
R.I.P Stan Lee, another bright soul gone. We'll miss you.
I told myself not to cry, then Stan hit me with the Excelsior. I want to be writer that is proud of his work and stan has given me that pride
RIP STAN LEE😖😭
He is gone, yet he has inspired me so much that I feel a sudden drive to write again. I never had the chance to meet him.
Simplicity and humbleness are a few words I can use to describe him. He had a talent to just push you forward having thst great essence of a man with a soul of child. By far, one of the greatest humans ever born, thank you Mr. Stan Lee.
Rip stan lee you touched many's heart and will always be remembered.
I just adore how Stan Lee smiles.
From 2019:
Even in death you still make me smile even in death you inspire me I wish I could have meet you Stan you truly are a hero..... We love you man rest in peace
rest in peace Stan Lee, we all love you and we hope your in a better place if there is a better place. Your legend will live forever...
Huh. Deadpool is a "grown-up" fairy tale. I've never heard that one before. He says things are based off of age, but like a pokemon player once said, you don't stop playing because you get old...
you get old because you stop playing
Deadpool is just a ripoff of slade Wilson( deathstroke)
At least they gave enough character to make Deadpool stand-out.
Be a geek, be proud, palm in your face.
Slade Wilson-wade wilson
Same thing
abomince I thought he was more of a parody, but I could be wrong. I don’t know too much about Deathstroke
A person who helps others because is the right thing to do is.. Without a dought a hero.
- Stan Lee
You Stan are definitely a hero because you help others.
I Always Think Of Stan Lee When I’m Thinking Of Superhero Stories To Create. R.I.P Stan Lee 1922-2018. You’ll Always Be In Our Hearts.
Stan Lee.. Truly a great, and noble man! Much love, Stan! RIP..
The man was and always will be a legend. Rest in peace, good sir.
Rip Stan Lee you'll always be my superhero
Yo I watched this video so many times and I swear it inspires me to create my own superhero and I will. RIP Legend you’re missed!
Thank you so much
RIP Stan Lee
I will miss your cameos 😭🙌🏾
This is why your awesome!! Love you 3000 r.i.p. And thank you.
This is my first time seeing this. I'm moved and inspired. Thank you Stan Lee.
This was vary Helpful and Inspiring ❤️RIP Stan Lee
Stan dedicated his life to creating stories about superheros and supervillains but in the end he was the real hero
Stanlee sir AAP chinta na kare
India me apka chakra superhero ayega....
Aapka Sapna me pura karunga 🙂
Love you Stan Lee
I came up with a Super hero but I am still try to find out a universe
It's stressful I know. Don't give up!
I've actually got one. If you have a kik we can share ideas and give ideas. I can see if your character fits my universe and credit you for it.
I would love to do that, are you up?
don't give up. try to make a series like 10 issues than great another and another with a different super hero. then see if some of these hero interacted with each other or villains on on story jump to another expanding your universe
create
stan is the best
Some people say Superman or Ironman are superhero’s but true superhero’s are rare and one of those was Stan Lee.
Rest in peace.
We all stan for Mr. Stan. Rest In Peace.
This is absolutely fantastic
R.I.P -
Rest In Peredies
Stan The Man ❤
I'm watching this video on the 9 of August 2021 5 years later and I'm literally crying
When I was a little kid, my Dad would turn on super hero shows and movies for us to watch. Marvel jumped out to me the most, and as I developed in art and storytelling, it became my dream to one day meet Stan Lee. I wanted to tell him what an inspiration he was, how his characters had shaped and motivated me. When I heard that he had died, I was crushed. My dream was now impossible. I would never get the opportunity to meet one of my heroes and pour my heart out about how much I loved his work to him. I remember having a dream sometime after hearing the news, a dream where I got to give him a hug before he dusted. Thank you, Stan Lee. Thank you for creating such amazing, lovable, relatable characters. God bless, all.
I think it would be really awesome to see several different writers with their own characters join up and write a cool crossover with their characters. Characters that arent part of an established universe that end up crossing paths and creating a shared literary universe like a written MCU or DCEU(except its actually good). Stan Lee honestly inspired me to write my own super being book thats actually being published. Thank You Stan 😊 for inspiring me.
Thank you Stan for everything. I'm a true believer
Thanks so much, Stan!
We'll miss ya!
We love and miss stanlee so much
Stan lee sir is legend forever..He will be remembered till the world ends
RIP Stan
“Excelsior”
