Marvel Comics' legend Stan Lee passed away today at the age of 95 in Los Angeles. In the 1960's, Lee collaborated with the late iconic artist Jack Kirby (and later, others as well) in co-creating many of Marvel's most famous superhero characters--the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, the Avengers, the X-Men, the Black Panther, and many more. Lee and Kirby's creations now rank among the most lucrative Intellectual Property in the "616 universe".
It's interesting to note the headlines that have been appearing today--some citing Lee as "creator", while others use "co-creator":
Comic Book Genius Stan Lee, Spider-Man Creator, Dies at 95; NBC San Diego 7
