American comic book writer Stan Lee has died at the age of 95, according to his daughter.

The legendary comic book writer and producer was the man behind Spiderman, Black Panther, X-Men and many more iconic creations.

Lee was fully on board with his material getting adapted into big-budget Hollywood films for the past two decades.

Even when it seemed as if the studio system wasn't doing his work justice (we're looking at you, X-Men 3. And Spider-Man 3. And Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), Lee was more than happy to show up for what has become trademark cameos.

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) now thriving, Lee enjoyed more appearances than ever in recent years.

He are 25 of his greatest walk on appearances in one place for your viewing pleasure.
