The co-creator of some of the worlds most famous comic books, Stan Lee, has had a street named after him in the Bronx area of New York.
Alongside Jack Kirby, Stan Lee created characters like the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, and Black Panther and many more.
Stan came from the Bronx, and the Council have agreed to honouring his memory by renaming a section of University Avenue, Stan Lee Way.
A street renaming event was held on 10 June 2021 between University Avenue between Brandt Place and 7 West 176 St, where Stan had grown up.
The councilman at the ceremony, Fernando Cabrera said: "Stan Lee was a creative genius who co-created iconic super heroes including Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Black Panther and more.
"Mr Lee's amazing talent brought joy and entertainment to countless children and adults and he deserves to be permanently memorialized in his home borough, the Bronx."
