What makes a superhero? | Stan Lee | TEDxGateway 2013

Stan Lee is known to millions as the man whose superheroes propelled Marvel to its preeminent position in the comic book industry. His co-creations include some of the most well-known and beloved superheroes of all time including, Spider-Man™, The Avengers ™, X-Men™, Iron Man™, The Incredible Hulk™, The Fantastic Four™, as well as hundreds of others.

He was inducted into the comic book industry's The Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995. And now Stan is all set to launch his first original superhero for India, 'Chakra The Invincible,' on Cartoon Network.

Anyone else returning to this video years later and crying? November 12th 2018. A date to never forget. Many people had their greatest hero of all time pass today. RIP Stan Lee.

[skirdus]

As a writer myself, I couldn't help but smile when Stan got to the part about writing for yourself instead of others. It just makes so much sense, and to hear it coming from him is the most validating feeling in the world.

R.I.P. You will be remembered, and your legacy carried on

"That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero."
-Stan Lee.

If there's one person who knows about super heroes it's this guy. As an adult I still love superhero stories especially, as Stan Lee says, when they're written well.

Rest In Peace Stan Lee, you are a true hero!

[steampunkastronaut]

A superhero doesn't need any superpowers to become a superhero.
Just needs to be so heroic until achieves the "super" adjective.

R.I.P Mr.Stan Lee.

[gamerguy]

This guy's a legend...
R.I.P Stan Lee, you will be missed...

[welatshaw]

I'm almost glad that Stan isn't here to see what they've done to the MCU. But, missed? Oh, yeah, Stan the Man is very, very missed. There was never anyone like him before, and there will never be anyone like him in the future. RIP, sir.

He's like an eccentric grandfather giving me the secret on how he comes up with his bedtime stories.

[KnightPrime]

I am Indian, and I LOVE Marvel, Superheros. It is my passion to direct films one day. This video is not only relatable, but it is also inspiring. I look up to Stan Lee alot to this day. The saying is right, Legends never actually die. Thanks TEDx, this video has really inspired me.

[dineshchandra]

Tears started filling in my eyes

[serynacottonball]

This was so insparational, i felt like he was actually talking to me
Rest in Peace Mr. Stan Lee

[jonruby]

The reason why I will always love this man is the passion he has for his superheroes. Just listen to him talk and you can see blatantly that he absolutely loves and put his heart into his work...you were the closest thing we had to an actual super hero sir RIP STAN LEE

[Stone-Boy]

you're a life saver Stan lee thank you.

[ArmyWolves]

Seeing tge late Stan Lee is bittersweet. His friendliness, humility and love for what he did and taking his time to share what he knows and then THANKING TEDEx for giving him the opportunity to speak is reminder of whom we lost.
Then when you see what MARVEL has become after his passing is just sad.
