LOS ANGELES: Stan Lee, marvel comic book legend and the creator of Spider-Man, the Avengers died on Monday at the age of  95.

As per details, Lee was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday after his health markedly deteriorated, and was declared dead shortly afterwards.

Lee   ushered in a comic book renaissance by co-creating the iconic superheroes Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men characters who made the leap to film with often-spectacular results.

The titles, Lee authored, included those featuring Spider-Man (with artist Steve Ditko), the Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, Daredevil, Captain America, and the Avengers, all of that have been turned into major features.

Lee also authored comic books under the pseudonym “Stan Lee,” he said in his autobiography, because he wanted to preserve his real name for more serious work, such as novels. (He later had his name legally changed.).  Lee  earned his first credit for a Captain America story in 1941.
