Fans are still mourning the loss of Stan "The Man" Lee, who co-created some of Marvel's most popular comic book characters that helped launch a successful comic and film universe that continues to bring in new fans every day.
Stan Lee was also a big fan of Hollywood films, and he would make a career out of his various cameos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and related film and TV properties. And while he starred or made appearances in a few series based on his own ideas and characters, he's also made a number of non-Marvel film and TV cameos that fans may have missed.
MALLRATS
Easily one of Kevin Smith, who had a long-standing friendship with the legendary comic creator.
Stan Lee played himself, who happened to be at the mall for an autograph g when he ran into super comic fan Brodie and was able to deliver some much needed, superhero-inspired advice at a much-needed time, thanks to the intervention of Brodie's best friend.
ENTOURAGE
HBO's Aquaman, and the success of the film in the series led him to look into other superhero roles.
This brought him to the offices of Marvel to meet with Stan Lee and other producers about the possibility of starring in an Air-Walker film adaptation (which seemed just as likely as Aquaman back in the day). Unfortunately, Vince self-sabotaged the meeting and fans didn't see much from Stan Lee in the cameo.
HEROES
While NBC's Heroes explored a world that had just begun to get superpowers, with the powered characters gathering to investigate their new abilities while also trying to save the world from a dark premonition.
Stan Lee appeared briefly as a bus driver with a small line, though as it was later revealed by Jeph Loeb, a simple line of "hi there" was expanded upon by the great expounder to become one of Loeb's favorite Stan Lee cameos.
CHUCK
Stan Lee's cameo on NBC's geek spy comedy Chuck revealed that he wasn't just a mild-mannered comic book writer or the face of one of the biggest comic companies on the plant, but that he was also a spy for the CIA.
As Chuck attended the Agency's Christmas party dressed as Santa, he encountered an amorous Stan Lee, who quickly departs the party after his advances on Chuck's supervisor are turned down, though his secret life as a CIA spy was finally out in the open.
THE SIMPSONS
Stan Lee has made a few cameos on Matt Groening's long-running animated sitcom The Simpsons, which should be no surprise considering the influence comics have on a number of characters in the show, including Comic Book Guy.
Some of Stan Lee's most X-Men spoof couch gag, claiming that "there's nothing too short that I can't cameo."
YOGA HOSERS
Kevin Smith's surprising spin-off appeared in 2014's Tusk as they battled Canadian Nazis and Hitler/bratwurst clones in one of Smith's craziest films.
When the clerks finally decided to call in the police, they managed to reach police dispatcher Stan Lee, who hilariously compared the "Bratzis" to comic book villains like Doctor Doom before hanging up on the "g*ddamn Yoga Hosers."
PIZZA MAN
Frankie Munoz starred in 2011's Pizza Man, which introduced a pizza delivery boy who gained his abilities after eating a genetically-engineered tomato that contained the secrets of a super-soldier formula.
As Pizza Man, he wore a costume and fought against the evil E.D.G.E. Corporation that wanted the formula, and when he needed a much-needed pep talk, Stan Lee was there to order a pizza, drop every one of his Marvel-ous catchphrases, and send Pizza Man away with the best tip of all -- life advice.
FRESH OFF THE BOAT
Randall Park and Constance Wu starred in Fresh off the Boat as the parents of a Taiwanese-American family who move from Washington to Florida, hoping to open a cowboy-themed restaurant while they attempt to assimilate into their new community.
Young Eddie and his brother Emery entered a comic book contest that was judged by Stan Lee, who appeared at the end of the episode with their comic, The Adventures of Persuader & Blazer Boy, and in true Marvel fashion, he revealed that it was exactly what he was looking for.
MADNESS IN THE METHOD
Jay and Silent Bob, who previously starred in Kevin Smith's Mallrats, which featured Stan Lee's cameo that would start a trend of appearances in Smith's films.
Mewes' directorial debut Madness in the Method explored a fictional series of events as Mewes, who played himself, hoped to give his career a boost with method acting. Stan Lee briefly appeared in the film trash-talking Mewes, which further showcased his unique comedy.
TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES
The popular animated series jumped to the big screen with Nicolas Cage, who finally got to portray Superman.
One of the best cameos in the film may have been unexpected but it worked perfectly for the film by showcasing Stan Lee's ion for cameos with a camera-hogging Stan Lee who didn't care that it was a DC film, he was still going to get his cameo. "Excelsior!"
