Following is a list of reactions on social media and by statement:

“I owe it all to you,” “Iron Man” actor Robert Downey Jr.

“No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all,” Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios.

“Damn... RIP Stan. Thanks for everything,” “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds.

“For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!,” “Captain America” actor Chris Evans.

“I’m proud to have been a small part of his legacy and .... to have helped bring one of his characters to life,” “Wolverine” actor Hugh Jackman.

“Thank you for making my childhood, teen years and adulthood so fun, especially during darker days,” singer Josh Groban.

“Thank you Stan Lee for making people who feel different realize they are special,” actor Seth Rogen.

“Rest In Peace, Mr. Lee. Thanks for everything,” “Supergirl” actress Nicole Maines.

“Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created. A superhero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain, and to connect. The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart,” Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company.

“Original and genius are two very overused words in the world today, but Stan was both. Add irrepressible and irreplaceable, and you begin to describe the man. We have all lost a true superhero,” Tim Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures.

“The legacy of Stan Lee, through his creative genius and his universes of characters, will continue to reach the world of true believers for generations to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the fans of not only his work, but of him, as a friend who made the world a better place,” Shane Duffy, chief executive of Lee’s POW! Entertainment.
