Reports are coming in from all across the web that Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee has died:
Stan Lee—the Marvel Comics legend responsible for cultural icons from Spider-Man and Iron Man to X-Men and Black Panther—has died according to multiple reports from places like TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter [(THR)].
THR spoke with a source that said Lee died early Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. TMZ spoke to Lee's daughter, J.C., who said an ambulance rushed to Lee's Hollywood Hills home early Monday morning to take him to Cedars-Sinai. That outlet noted Lee had suffered several illnesses over the last year or so, including dealing with pneumonia. Lee was 95 years old.
[...] Indisputably, Lee's decades-spanning career has spawned some of the most beloved pop culture characters and franchises of all time. He began working on comics as an assistant at Timely Comics in 1939; that entity would eventually morph into Marvel Comics in the 1960s. Alongside other eventual giants of the industry like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, Lee helped create seemingly every adored comic hero this side of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman: in addition to the credits above, Lee had a hand in the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and characters like Ant-Man and Thor.

Nothing wrong with wonder woman, in my opinion. If someone wants to make an interesting female/transexual/black/blacktransexual character then go for it. The problem comes in when you turn something like Thor into a girl. A long established and successful character rubber stamped into something "Diverse" gives a worthless result.

Ah, I see you're ok with non-white male superheros. Good for you! How progressive! ...as long as none of the wrong people take up the mantle of a hero in the white male club, amirite!

Ah, I see you'd support a white Black Panther.
