Calling Stan Lee a legend is no exaggeration: it's hard to come up with someone who left an even remotely similar impact on the comics industry.

We won't start rambling about all his outstanding achievements — you definitely know exactly who this man was… Otherwise, you wouldn't have opened this article.

Honoring Stan Lee is somewhat of a custom for any self-respecting superhero movie or show director. The number of cameos involving Stan is crazy: only in films and TV shows, he did a few dozen cameos.

He positioned himself as an informant for the Watchers who kept track of important events happening on Earth, so he appeared in pretty much every Marvel installment starting from 2008.

Marvel fans have always been on the lookout for his friendly face in every new movie, and even Marvel's competitors, DC Comics, made humorous cameos with him a few times.

For example, in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, Stan Lee makes a brief appearance before a different character notifies him that it's a DC film.

But Marvel fans can't agree on one issue: what is Stan Lee's best cameo of all time?

Many claim that his best cameo is the one in Captain America: Civil War, where he plays a FedEx postman who delivers a package to Tony Stark at the end of the movie.

Lee the postman messes up the recipient's name and calls him "Tony Stank" instead, and a lot of fans consider this cameo the best and the funniest one.

However, others don't agree with them. In a recent discussion on Reddit, fans shared their favorite cameos with Stan Lee, and only two of them mentioned the "Tony Stank" delivery guy.

Others admitted that their favorite cameos are Willie Lumpkin in Fantastic Four, the Watchers' astronaut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Irving Forbush in Marvel's Netflix shows.

Stan Lee also had some favorite cameos of his, believe it or not. In 2008, he said that his favorite cameo was in Iron Man where Tony Stark mistakes him for Hugh Hefner.

Willie Lumpkin was also among his favorite ones.
