Stanley Martin Lieber, aka Stan Lee, died today at the age of 95. He was the driving force behind the Marvel universe. The Rock, Bret Hart and many other current and former WWE superstars took to social media to pay their respects:
So long Stan Lee, thank you for saving my childhood and filling my head with dreams and imagination.

What a man. What a life.
When I first broke into Hollywood, he welcomed me with open arms and some very sage advice I’ll forever take to heart.
A true icon who impacted generations around the world.
Rest in love, my friend. #imagination #stanlee 💫 pic.twitter.com/dw3FXMgyHp— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) November 12, 2018

"The world has always been like a comic book to me"
To say his characters, his stories and the Universe he created have had an influence on me would be the ultimate understatement..
Thank you for the joy, the escape and the continued inspiration.
RIP Stan Lee. pic.twitter.com/EE1gSjQ22b
