Losing the greatest mind in comic book - and indeed wider pop-culture's - history, is a terribly sad moment for lovers of entertainment the world over.

However, Stan Lee being the fantastic man that he was prepared for his legacy to live on, appearing in cameo forms throughout his works both on screen and off - with the latest Spider-Man game holding one of the most heartwarming. That this can be revisited time and time again is a bittersweet landmark in the game's canon, a reminder of all the little things Lee offered amongst the huge.

When Peter Parker meets up briefly with MJ, a conversation unfolds about their relationship, cut short by Parker's need to follow the police passing by the restaurant. As MJ collects herself to leave, the 'Short Order Cook' makes a passing comment of "Love seeing you two together again! You were always my favourites."

And, of course, it's revealed as the camera pans out that it's no other than Stan Lee himself. It's a pure reminder of the love he put into his ongoing works, and the kindness of his character.
