You gave us a superhuman spider
and an insect of ant proportions.
You created the man of iron
and a man that can control it.
A pioneer of an epic approach,
you challenged a great authority.
By bringing forth enticing characters,
you lit a fire in those that followed them.
Everything about them is extraordinary,
and the passion radiated from the pages.
Thank you for all that you did, Mr. Lee,
you surely will be a man that we remember.

To honor the great legend, Stan Lee, I have made this poem.
In the words of the man himself: "I try not to do anything that's too close to what I've done before. And the nice thing is we have a big universe here. It's filled with new ideas. All you have to do is grab them." Basically, variety is the spice of life and with it, something miraculous could be made.
