An inspiration to generations of writers, artists, actors and superhero fans, Stan Lee was remembered by the Hollywood superstars who have played the iconic characters of the Earth’s mightiest superheros — The Avengers. Fans, friends and colleagues paid tribute to Stan Lee with one word i.e “excelsior”.
It is to be noted that for Lee, “excelsior” wasn’t just a term to remember him by. It was his nature—creating, striving, ever upward. On 9 November 2010, in a tweet, he had said, “Finally, what does “Excelsior” mean? “Upward and onward to greater glory!” That’s what I wish you whenever I finish tweeting! Excelsior!”
