Stan Lee is the legendary comic book writer and editor that in collaboration with several artists, including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, co-create many of the most memorable superheroes over the past 50+ years for Marvel Comics. Lee’s creations include Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Doctor Strange and many others that lived in a shared universe. Lee and Kirby also resurrected older characters including Captain America and the Sub-Mariner as well as assembling the Avengers team of superheroes.

Spider-Man
Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee had two cameos in SPIDERMAN (2002), but one was cut. In the deleted one, he asks Peter, "Hey kid, would you like a pair of these glasses? They're the kind they wore in X-Men." Lee only briefly appears in the film to grab a young girl from falling debris during the battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin in Times Square.
