The Mumbai Police in a tweet shared a GIF from Spider-Man 3, in which Stan made one of his many cameos in films featuring Marvel characters. The scene shows Stan, playing a regular Joe, interacting with Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker. “You know, I guess one person can make a difference,” he says. “We believe so too, Stan!” Mumbai Police tweeted. “Let’s keep Stan Lee’s legacy alive and continue aspiring to be superheroes in our common ways. #BeASuperhero #StanLeeForever,” the tweet continued.

Amul, meanwhile, posted a solemn tribute on Twitter, with an image of Stan surrounded by some of his creations such as Spider-Man and Hulk. “RIP Stan Lee,” the picture read.

Both Mumbai Police and Amul had also tweeted about the success of Avengers: Infinity War, which featured one of Lee’s final cameos. He is confirmed to have shot his appearances in the upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Wreck It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet, Avengers 4 and Captain Marvel.

Lee has always been a huge advocate for the comics medium all his life, and is credited with bringing comics to the mainstream. In a little more than 20 years, Marvel went from being a company that declared bankruptcy (1996) as the comic book industry waned to a global empire generating billions of dollars a year.
