據《好萊塢報道》消息，漫畫界的傳奇人物、編輯、出版人及漫威的聯合創始人斯坦·李剛剛過世，享年95歲。

李是一系列標志性角色的創造者或聯合創造者，比如神奇四俠、蜘蛛俠、黑豹、無敵浩克、X戰警、鋼鐵俠、夜魔俠、蟻人和雷神等。他擅長創造一些并非完美無缺的拯救者，同時賦予角色深度。1961年他與杰克·柯比共同創辦出版公司漫威漫畫，從此揚名立萬。

《好萊塢報道》稱，李于周一早晨在洛杉磯的希德斯-西奈醫療中心去世。

迪斯尼在2009年以40億美元的價格收購了他的出版公司，而李實際上一直活躍在電影界。雖然超級英雄的粉絲們并不是人人都讀他的漫畫原著，許多人卻知曉他在漫威系列電影中的友情客串。

1922年12月28日，李出生在一個羅馬尼亞移民家庭，成長于華盛頓高地，高中畢業后他加入了WPA聯邦戲劇項目。1939年獲得了及時漫畫公司（Timely Comics）的一個跑腿的工作，每周賺取8美元，而及時漫畫后來演變為漫威。

在過去幾年里，李上新聞頭條，往往不是因為其作品，而是因為各種爭議。他69歲的妻子于2017年過世，不到一年他對他自己在2001年聯合創立的POW! Entertainment公司提起了10億美元的訴訟，聲稱該公司盜用他創造的人物形象以牟利。不過在兩個月后，他放棄了訴訟。《好萊塢報道》提到，李還狀告了他的前任業務經理，并對處理他個人事務的男子提起了限制令。

盡管在人生末期有種種爭議，李將會因為他創造的漫畫形象而被人們記住。像蜘蛛俠這樣的漫畫形象告訴讀者，即使超級英雄也有焦慮，也不會處理與女孩的關系，以及有其他種種麻煩。他創造的品牌已經超越了創造者本人，如同他自己所說，“要超越！”（財富中文網）

Stan Lee, the legendary comic writer, editor, and publisher who co-created Marvel, has passed away at age 95, The Hollywood Reporter states.

Lee was the creator or co-creator of iconic characters like the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Black Panther, the Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Thor, and more. He excelled at creating not flawless saviors, but characters with depth. He’s known for co-founding the publishing company Marvel Comics with Jack Kirby in 1961.

According to THR, Lee died Monday morning at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

While Disney bought his publishing house for $4 billion in 2009, Lee stayed in the picture—literally. While not every superhero fan may read the comics, many still knew Lee for his cameos in the Marvel movies.

Lee was born on Dec. 28, 1922 to Romanian immigrants. He grew up in Washington Heights, and after graduating high school, Lee joined the WPA Federal Theatre Project. In 1939, he got a job as a gofer earning $8 a week at Timely Comics, the publisher that would eventually become Marvel.

In the past few years, Lee has made headlines not for his work, but for controversies. His wife of 69 years passed away in 2017. Not a year later, he filed a $1 billion lawsuit against POW! Entertainment, a company he co-founded in 2001, alleging it stole his likeness for financial gain. Within two months, however, Lee dropped the suit. THR reports Lee also sued his former business manager and filed a restraining order against a man who handled his affairs.

Despite the controversies of late, Lee will be remembered for the icons he created. Characters like Spider-Man taught young readers that even superheroes have anxieties, girl problems, and other relatable issues. He created a brand that has now outlasted its creators. As the man himself would say, “Excelsior!”
