MCU: Every Stan Lee Cameo Ranked From Worst To Best
10. Iron Man
The Cameo: As Tony Stark heads into a Stark Industries gala, he passes Stan on the red carpet, and mistakes him for Hugh Hefner.
Stan Lee's first cameo in the MCU was one of his briefest, a non-speaking appearance that nonetheless made a big impression.
The joke is the same as Iron Man 2, but it was original here, and much better executed. We see Stan from the back first, with Hefner-esque bathrobe and pipe.
When he turns around and you see that it's Stan Lee, it's hard not to feel a flush of giddy joy. A strong template for the cameos that would follow.
