It’s a sad day for Marvel Comics' fans as Stan Lee, the legendary writer and publisher of Marvel Comics, died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Nov 12. He was 95.

The master created such classical characters as the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and the X-Men, among others, making himself a real-life superhero to comic book lovers everywhere, including China.

In shaping his superheroes, Lee did not intend to make them perfect. Instead, he gave them character flaws(瑕疵) behind their supernatural power. He once said in an interview that he wanted to make those superheroes enjoyed real flesh-and-blood characters with personality.

Also, it is worth noting that each time a new Marvel movie comes out, the one thing fans can count on is that Stan Lee will appear in some scenes, a hard proof to show his deepest love of his heroes. He had help in designing the superheroes but he took full ownership of promoting them.

"His greatest legacy(遗产) will be not only the co-creation of his characters but the way he helped to build the culture that comics have become, which is a pretty significant one," said Robert Thompson, a pop culture expert at Syracuse University..
