'There will never be another Stan Lee', Chris Evans rightly said on Tuesday as the legend breathed his last. The man who began his stint as a trainee at the age of 19 in a newly opened Timely Comic division of a pulp magazine, eventually built an empire that now we know as Marvel. 

Marvel comics soared in the 1960s and eventually became a comic giant. Stan Lee along with frequent collaborators created some of the most iconic superheroes of all time. A lot have now been adapted on the big screen, some remain untouched. Here's a look at some of the superheroes that Lee, the legend, created.
