MCU: Every Stan Lee Cameo Ranked From Worst To Best

The Cameo: After Captain America steals his old uniform from the Smithsonian Museum, Stan appears as a security guard, who dejectedly says, "I am so fired."

Once again, Stan's cameo in the brilliant Captain America: The Winter Soldier fits seamlessly into the narrative. Cap is on the run, and has had to abandon his SHIELD-approved modern costume. But you need a uniform if you're going to go to war, and he knows exactly where to find one.

Cut to the Smithsonian, featured earlier in the film, where the mannequin that once displayed Cap's World War II duds is now empty. Along comes Stan, with a brilliantly timed line that nicely breaks the tension of the encroaching battle.
