Question

One of the most famous men has left us. Stan Lee passed away on Nov. 12 at the age of 95.

Lee is best known for being the man behind Marvel Comics. He was the company’s editor (編輯). Lee started his work in 1939. He led Marvel as it rose from a small company into a very big and famous one.

Of course, the heroes that Lee created made Marvel famous. He worked with several artists, such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, to create some famous superheroes such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man and so on.

He was inspired (激勵) to create these heroes in a number of ways. For example, for Iron Man, he planned to create a hero that nobody would like —but finally, most people like him. And for The Incredible Hulk, Lee’s artist friend Kirby said he was inspired by watching a man lift up a car to save a woman.

Lee never stopped working, even after leaving from Marvel. He appeared in many Marvel films. He often got a small part. In fact, he had already filmed some acts for the next Avengers film, which came out in 2019.

Lee’s heroes touched people over many years. The stories he wrote encouraged many people to find their own hobbies and pride. He was, in many ways, a real-life superhero.
