It is with a heavy heart that we talk about the passing of one of the greatest creative minds of all time: Stan Lee. From iconic characters like the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-Men it's hard to imagine video games without the Marvel universe. Comic books have had a huge impact on video games, from early arcades and Atari to the current generation of hardware. Without visionarys like Stan Lee the world would be a much more boring and less colorful place. Thank you Sir. For everything you gave us. Twitter: @IFlippaDaSwitch
