Chances are, if you're browsing a site called ComicBookMovie.com no introduction is needed for Stan Lee. As the man who brought Marvel to the forefront of the comic industry and made household names of characters such as Spider-Man, The Hulk, Fantastic Four, X-Men and The Avengers, Lee has always managed to stay near and dear to comic fans. His enthusiasm for anything comic related and life in general, coupled with his willingness to always make time for his fans has made him a favorite worldwide.

Although he remains forever young at heart, the man who has appeared (ever so briefly) in more superhero films than anybody else turns 89 today. HAPPY BIRTDAY Stan Lee born this day December 28, 1922.
