Stan Lee Celebrates 90th Birthday

Posted by timothy on from the let-us-now-praise-famous-men dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Congratulatory tweets and missives pour in to honor @theRealStanLee (nee Stanley Lieber), the Romanian immigrant who created or co-created most of Marvel Comics' memorable heroes. Lee celebrated his 90th birthday on Friday. Earlier this year, someone posted a collection of Lee's cameo appearances in Marvel Comics movies, often playing an older gentleman in the crowd ('Superheroes in New York? Give me a break!'), but watch for the time he plays himself, trying to get past a club bouncer ('I'm Stan Lee. I should be on that list!')."

    With great age comes great responsibility.

    Happy 90th birthday, Mr. Lee!

    "You boys may have gotten autographed comics from Stan Lee, but I saw the inside of his house and got an autographed application for a restraining order."
    " Plus, I get to hang out with him again at the hearing."

    he is definitely not an immigrant. He was born in 1922 on American soil, in New York City.

    Pshaw! I bet his long-form birth certificate is a forgery.
