LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Comic
book superhero creator Stan Lee, who died on Monday, got a superstar send off
from Hollywood, where he was celebrated for creations like Spider-Man, Black
Panther and the Hulk that made the careers of actors and directors alike.
Following is a list of reactions on social media and by statement:
"I owe it all to you,"
"Iron Man" actor Robert Downey Jr.
"No one has had more of an
impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan
leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all," Kevin Feige,
President of Marvel Studios.
"Damn... RIP Stan. Thanks
for everything," "Deadpool" actor Ryan Reynolds.
"For decades he provided
both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration,
strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an
indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!," "Captain
America" actor Chris Evans.
"I'm proud to have been a
small part of his legacy and .... to have helped bring one of his characters to
life," "Wolverine" actor Hugh Jackman.
"Thank you for making my
childhood, teen years and adulthood so fun, especially during darker
days," singer Josh Groban.
"Thank you Stan Lee for
making people who feel different realize they are special," actor Seth
Rogen.
"Rest In Peace, Mr. Lee.
Thanks for everything," "Supergirl" actress Nicole Maines.
"Stan Lee was as
extraordinary as the characters he created. A superhero in his own right to
Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain, and
to connect. The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his
heart," Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company.
"Original and genius are two
very overused words in the world today, but Stan was both. Add irrepressible
and irreplaceable, and you begin to describe the man. We have all lost a true
superhero," Tim Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures.
"The legacy of Stan Lee, through his creative genius
and his universes of characters, will continue to reach the world of true
believers for generations to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family
and the fans of not only his work, but of him, as a friend who made the world a
better place," Shane Duffy, chief executive of Lee's POW! Entertainment.
