The world lost an icon when Stan Lee took his leave from the living world in 2018. However, we will forever have him in our deepest memories each time we come across the term Marvel Cinematic Universe. On his 100th birthday anniversary, we remember him as the legend who spent all his life contributing to making MCU what it is now. Not only us, but the entire cinematic universe has come together on this day to commemorate the creator who made the unimaginable possible. 

The world witnessed Stan Lee incorporate these other-worldly characters into the lives of human beings. As he spent nearly 50 years of his life writing to kids about social justice and the betterment of the people, he did create a lot of superheroes but with a touch of humanity and real-life feelings that has bound us all together as one community. Reminiscing on his greatest works, stars like Ryan Reynolds, The Rock himself, and the co-chairman of DC studios, James Gunn took to their social media platforms to pay tribute to the legend.
