While watching a Marvel property, comic fans are always on the lookout for the obligatory Stan Lee cameo. But viewers had no trouble spotting him in Into the Spider-Verse, since the Generalissimo got his own scene.

Because both of Spider-Man's creators, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, passed away the same year Into the Spider-Verse was released, this heartfelt scene felt like the perfect send-off.

However, this isn't the only time the self-proclaimed king of cameos shows his face. In fact, he appears dozens of times. Throughout the movie, the beloved Marvel founder pops up as a passenger in nearly every subway train. He also shows up as the man who walks past Peter B. Parker, after he says, "Thanks, New York." Stan Lee's mass-inclusion was incentivised, so every animator who worked on the film could pay tribute to him.
