Geeks of all stripes are mourning the passing of Stan Lee today, perhaps none of them more than gamers who live and breathe superhero MMOs every day.
Over on the DC Universe Online forums, there’s been an outpouring of love for the iconic Marvel superstar.
Champions Online thanked Lee for his influence, as did players on the forums:
Rest in Peace, Stan Lee. You created worlds that continue to inspire us, day after day, and the world of Champions would never be the same without your influence. Thank you for everything. pic.twitter.com/AlqQJR7kBr

The Titan Network – those are the folks who maintained City of Heroes’ community programs, run Paragon Chat, and sprouted multiple spinoffs, including City of Titans, posted a beautiful note to Twitter too:
We knew this day had to come at some point, but it doesn't make it any less sad when it happens. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends, and the millions of fans who have admired and respected his work over the decades.

The SEGS team sends their deepest condolences to the family and fans. He will always be “The Man” that made Superheroes and comic books what they are today, and fueled the games like #CityOfHeroes https://t.co/iSdui1FXMb
