URL copied to clipboard.

The late and legendary Stan Lee, who passed away this morning at the age of 95, left behind an outsized legacy worthy of his accomplishments as a writer and mythmaker. One position that he always prided himself as well was Marvel’s unofficial mascot, a position that never illustrated itself better than his incredibly fun work making cameos for various Marvel properties — especially the movies.

One eager fan rounded up all of Stan Lee’s cameos — ending at Thor: Ragnarok, and put them together in one video. Many have posited that Stan Lee’s role in the Marvel movies was that of The Watcher, the figure co-created by Lee and Kirby that sees each and every tawdry going on in the Marvel Universe and gazes at them furiously. Maybe, but just for fun, let’s count what Stan Lee’s cameos actually were.
