He was 95.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div data-bind=\"foreach: articleBlocks\">\n<p data-bind=\"text: $data\">\u201cI hope your nephew enjoys the Avengers.\u201d That\u2019s how my one and only interview with comic book legend Stan Lee ended on a rainy afternoon in Boston. Lee, the dynamo who helped co-create Spider-Man, Black Panther, Daredevil, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, X-Men and The Incredible Hulk, among others, was rushed early Monday morning to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where he was declared dead, said Kirk Schenck, a lawyer for Lee\u2019s daughter, J.C. Lee. He was 95. In recent years he had been plagued by several health issues, including a battle with pneumonia, but he was still full of life. In this business, I\u2019ve had the chance to meet a lot of my idols, but sitting across from the man who was the architect of many of my childhood dreams and who helped me fall in love with comic books was a pinch-me moment. When we spoke in 2015, the Marvel Cinematic Universe \u2014 which has given big-screen life to many of his creations \u2014 was in full swing. But, as always, he was looking ahead. Lee, who rose to prominence in the 1960s, name-checked Black Panther, which was released earlier this year, as one of the titles he was most looking forward to seeing. In rat-a-tat-tat fashion, he listed off sequels to the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain America as other instalments he was anticipating. Then he got into Daredevil (telling me he envisioned it on the small screen long before Netflix acquired the property), the Inhumans and Ant-Man. He also raved about Spider-Man joining the MCU. \u201cI think it\u2019s one of the best things to happen,\u201d Lee said. \u201cNow he\u2019ll be able to appear in any of our other movies. It\u2019s going to be great.\u201d And just like the rest of us, he was on the edge of his seat wondering what characters might be coming soon to a theatre near you. \u201cI don\u2019t even know how (Marvel) decides what to do next, because every one of them is so exciting and the public is waiting for them &#8230; I don\u2019t think there has ever been anything like this in the movies before where you see one company turning out hit after hit. It\u2019s kind of nice.\u201d Asked to name a favourite film, he was coy. \u201cI don\u2019t have a favourite. Every single one of them I see I like better than the last one. I love them all.\u201d An elder statesman in the comic book world, Lee is credited with helping turn superheroes into a form of art. It\u2019s rumoured that he dreamed up a new story every day for a decade. Still, he could name his favourite Spider-Man cameo without hesitation. \u201cI did a story years ago where I teamed Spider-Man, briefly, with the Fantastic Four,\u201d he said. \u201cSpidey decided he didn\u2019t want to run around capturing bad guys for nothing; he wanted to get paid. So he thought he\u2019d join the Fantastic Four and make some money. He swung into their window and said, \u2018Hi, I want to join you. What do you pay?\u2019 And when he found out they don\u2019t get paid, he swung right out again.\u201d Lee created the Fantastic Four with artist Jack Kirby in 1961 and it almost didn\u2019t happen. He wanted to do character development at a time when no one else in comic books was interested in that. He almost quit. It was his wife \u2014 Joan, who died last year \u2014 who encouraged him to try one more comic book idea \u2014 the Fantastic Four. His success with that team helped him imagine the series of heroes we all know and love. But it was perhaps Spider-Man who resonated the most. \u201cFor some reason, young people seem to prefer Spider-Man. Everywhere I go I see Spider-Man costumes,\u201d he said. Lee was warm and effusive as I gushed over his creations. And when I asked him about DC\u2019s failure to connect with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he was diplomatic. \u201cMore power to them,\u201d he said. Lee, who was born Stanley Martin Lieber on Dec. 28, 1922, in New York, worked well into his 90s on films, TV and a slew of internet ventures. He made cameos in all the Marvel movies and when we spoke he declared his appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron his favourite. On top of that, up until recently, he was a regular on the convention circuit. And it turned out staying busy was his key to a long and fruitful life. \u201cJust keep busy,\u201d he told me, when I asked him his motto. \u201cI think the most important thing is to be busy, because if you have work occupying you, you don\u2019t have time to worry about the other serious problems in life.\u201d Rest well, Mr. Lee.
