Everyone SciFiction proudly wishes Stan “The Man” Lee an HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY!!!


As many of you know Stan Lee is the creator of such fantastic comic book heroes such as, Iron Man, Spiderman, X-Men, The Hulk, and many more!!

Me being a huge comic book geek. I have enjoyed these characters since childhood, and even till this day! The heroes Stan has created tell a story about right, and wrong, and about the struggles that even we deal with time to time.

My personal favorite series of the Marvel Comics universe are the X-men, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and Hulk.

I have posted a tribute above I think is cool. In this tribute it has a brief introduction by Stan himself, and shows a great many of the cameos that he has been in from films based on his characters.

Enjoy!! :)
