Not long after the news made headlines some of Hollywood's biggest names including the stars of his superhero movies Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr. posted touching tributes for the film producer.
Jackman, 50, known for playing X-Men's Wolverine in several Marvel flicks, said of Lee: 'We’ve lost a creative genius. Stan Lee was a pioneering force in the superhero universe.
'I’m proud to have been a small part of his legacy and .... to have helped bring one of his characters to life. #StanLee #wolverine.' he wrote next to an old selfie of the duo.

The co-founder of Marvel Comics had been in declining health for the past year, and there had been a number of battles regarding who would inherit his $70 million fortune.

An ambulance was called to Lee's home in the Hollywood Hills early Monday and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai, according to TMZ. He died shortly after arriving at the medical facility.
Lee is survived by his daughter and only child Joan Celia, known as 'J.C.'
His wife Joan died in July last year after suffering complications from a stroke. The pair had been married for 70 years at the time of her death.
Lee was also a veteran, and his final tweet was sent out by his team on Sunday and commemorated his time in the service with a photo of the beloved comic-book creator in his uniform during World War II.
Lee rose to fame in 1961 when he turned Timely Comics, where he started out in the industry as an assistant, into Marvel Comics.
'What a man': Dwayne Johnson shared a special moment caught on camera and called Lee 'warm and welcoming'
'Great joy': Samuel L. Jackson tweeted his thanks to the star
Hero: TV host Jimmy Kimmel dug out a photo of one of his doodles of the Marvel creator that he drew when he was just seven
'Thanks for everything Stan Lee! What a life, so well lived. I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have gotten to meet you and to have played in the world you created.' Chris Pratt captioned this snap
That change came about in the 1960s, and Lee then proceeded to oversee the creation of many of the iconic superheroes people around the world know and love to this day.
The Incredible Hulk, Thor, the X-Men, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Captain America were just a few of the many superhuman, and super flawed, characters crated by Lee and artist Jack Kirby.
The relationship between Lee and Marvel had grown contentious in his final months however, and in May he filed a billion-dollar lawsuit against the company.
The complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleged that POW! Entertainment CEO Shane Duffy and co-founder Gill Champion failed to fully disclose to Lee details of the firm's 2017 sale to Camsing International.
Lee said that the company took advantage of him at a time when he was despondent over the death of his wife Joan and suffering from macular degeneration, a condition affecting the eyes.

As a result, he was duped into signing an agreement giving away the rights to his image and likeness, states the complaint.
Lee also argued that he was unable to read the document due to his eye condition and suggested the signature on the paperwork was not his own.
The comic-book legend was still a big part of the Marvel universe until his death though, making a cameo in every Marvel Studios film since 1993, with his most recent appearance being in Venom, which has proven to be yet another blockbuster.
That film, released in early October, had grossed $674 million at the worldwide box office as of Sunday on a $100 million budget.
Lee also served as an executive producer on these titles, which helped boost his fortune in a very big way in recent years.
'Deeply affected': Josh Brolin, who played both Cable and Thanos in the Marvel universe, shared this sweet tribute to the producer
'Revolutionary': Many other Hollywood stars took to Twitter to share condolences
Sebastian Stan, who has appeared in several Avengers movies as Winter Soldier, wrote 'I wouldn't be here without you.'
In fact, in the past 10 years alone, Marvel Studios has released 20 films in the Marvel universe which have made over $17 billion at the box office.
This has easily earned it the title of the highest-grossing film franchise of all time.
There was a long time when Lee's comics were thought only good enough for the small screen, with CBS turning The Hulk into a successful television series in 1978 which lasted five season.
And on children's television a number of his comics were turned into cartoons.
Then, in 2000, X-Men became the first of Lee's comics to be turned into a feature-length studio film.
It was a roaring success and earned $130 million at the North America box office, a number that was besedt two years later when Spider-Man earned $400 million.
Four of Marvel Studio's pictures - Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers and Black Panther -are among the the top 10 grossing films of all time.
This success caused much fighting over Lee's wealth in his final days.

His legal woes began back in January, when DailyMail.com revealed that Lee had been accused of groping his nurses in a lawsuit, which was dismissed by his daughter as a shakedown of the old man.
Lee then sought a restraining orders against one manager and fired his road manager claiming he was victim of elder abuse.
At the same time, some are pointing a finger at his daughter J.C, with allegations her penchant for shopping and buying luxury goods was eating away at her father's fortune.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
