Stan Lee started writing comics in 1939, and he was essential to turn a small editorial into one of the most recognized comic book companies in the world, Marvel Comics.
Stan Lee not only created at least 2186 characters, including the most iconic characters from Marvel, he also started writing complex storylines that were different from anything that came before in comics. Giving personal problems and complex psychological profiles to his characters he turned the industry into a more mature media.

Talking about his legacy, Stan Lee once said "Entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain, you’re doing a good thing."
