Excelsior!

Stan Lee - the man who taught many to dream and creator of many fantastic but flawed super-heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and more from the Marvel Cinematic Universe - passed-away at the age of 95.

Apart from his skills as a comic book creator and editor, Mr. Lee had graced many movies, comic books, video-games and sit-coms with his cameos, which were quite legendary. So much so that there have been times when the cameo is more memorable than the movie itself, but that’s Stan Lee for you.

Here is a quick look back at of all the times, Stan Lee won our hearts with his big, small but mostly hilarious cameos.
