Stan Lee memes serve as a digital tribute to the legendary Marvel Comics writer, editor, and publisher. While he is most famous for his cameos in nearly every Marvel Cinematic Universe film, memes featuring him often focus on his 'Excelsior!' catchphrase, his pride in his creations, or his status as the grandfather of modern superhero culture. These memes are used to express joy during film releases, celebrate creative genius, or simply show appreciation for the man who co-created icons like Spider-Man and the X-Men. Since his passing in 2018, these memes have taken on a nostalgic tone, often appearing whenever a new Marvel project debuts without his signature cameo.
