Stan Lee remains one of the most respected figure in comics today, having helped give life to some of the greatest comic superheroes of all time, including Spider-Man, the Fantatic Four, and the Hulk, among others. With the recent blockbuster success of superhero stories on the silver screen in the past 15 years, it seemed only natural for Lee to pop in for short cameo roles in Marvel films. These cameo roles have only continued to expand as the years go by, getting funnier every time. With all the movies that fans have been able to enjoy, there is one in particular that Lee loves the most. According to a Q&A on Lee's Facebook page, his all time favourite superhero film “was the first one that was such a hit, the first Spider-Man. After that [Spider-Man], everything else seemed easy.”
