In the Loki pilot, the titular character is arrested by the Time Variance Authority and transported to a reality that exists outside time and space. The TVA explain to Loki that they arrested him after he inadvertently creating a time paradox.

While Tom Hiddelston's character is transported to the Time Court, there is a mural in the background depicting multiple TVA agents. If you're an eagle-eyed viewer, you would've noticed the man in the forefront of this picture is none other than Stan Lee. Being the co-creator of Marvel Comics, Stan the Man has popped up in some way or another in nearly every adaptation of his work. At a glance, casual viewers probably assumed this image was simply a nice way to commemorate the Generalissimo's work.

But as we know from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, all the characters that Lee has portrayed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are the same person. If that's the case, his visage on this mural isn't just a in-joke - it confirms Stan Lee was, and perhaps, still is an active member of the TVA.
