UPDATE: 12:20 p.m.

Stan Lee, the creative dynamo who revolutionized the comic book and helped make billions for human frailties such as Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk, died Monday. He was 95.

Lee was declared dead at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to Kirk Schenck, an attorney for Lee's daughter, J.C. Lee.

As the top writer at Marvel Comics and later as its publisher, Lee was widely considered the architect of the contemporary comic book. He revived the industry in the 1960s by offering the costumes and action craved by younger readers while insisting on sophisticated plots, college-level dialogue, satire, science fiction, even the philosophy.

Millions responded to the unlikely mix of realistic fantasy, and many of his characters, including Spider-Man, the Hulk and X-Men went on to become stars of blockbuster films.

"Captain America" ​​star Chris Evans mourned the loss on Twitter: For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior !! "

Recent projects Lee helped make Avengers: Infinity War, "Black Panther" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" such TV series as "The Shield of Agents" and "Daredevil." Lee was recognized for his fans – he had cameos in Marvel films and TV projects – his hair gray and his glasses slightly tinted.

"I think everybody loves things that are bigger than life … I think of them as fairy tales for grown-ups," he told The Associated Press in a 2006 interview. "We all grew up with giants and ogres and witches. Well, you get a very old to read fairy tales but I do not think you ever outgrow your love for those kind of things, things that are bigger than life and magical and very imaginative. "

By some accounts, he came up with a new comic book every day for 10 years.

"I wrote so many I do not even know. I wrote either hundred or thousands of them," he told the AP in 2006.

He hit his stride in the 1960s when he brought the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man and many others to life.

"It was like there was something in the air. I could not do anything wrong," he recalled.

His heroes, meanwhile, were a far cry from virtuous do-gooders such as rival DC Comics' Superman.

The Fantastic Four fought with each other. Spider-Man was goaded into superhero work by his alter ego, Peter Parker, who suffered from unrequited crushes, money problems and dandruff. The Silver Surfer, an alien doomed to wander Earth's atmosphere, waxed about the woeful nature of man. The Hulk was marked by self-loathing. Daredevil was blind and Iron Man had a weak heart.

"The beauty of Stan Lee's characters is that they were characters first and superheroes next," Jeff Kline, executive producer of the "Men in Black" animated television series, told The Blade of Toledo, Ohio, in 1998.

Lee scripted most of Marvel's superhero comics himself during the '60s, including the Avengers and the X-Men, two of the most enduring. In 1972, he became Marvel's publisher and editorial director; Four years later, 72 million copies of Spider-Man were sold.

Lee is survived by his daughter, Joanie, and a younger brother who also worked in comics, Larry Lieber.

Speaking about the fires, Jamie told Entertainment Tonight: "We were all affected (in California) We were to evacuate, so they were safe but But at least 25 people lost their lives, a lot of people are hurting in my neighborhood, and of course, you know, the shootings.

Jamie stars alongside Taron Egerton and Jamie Dornan in Robin Hood, in which he takes on the role of Little John. While the film is set in Medieval England, Jamie's character has an American accent, and he looked to some unusual inspirations for the lilts in his tone.

"We tried to do this with a sort of suspension of reality, so we all sort of put our own spin on. So everybody had a different vernacular," he explained. "I basically patterned my voice pattern after Malcolm X, when Denzel (Washington) went to jail.Every time I would do a line I would go to think back (to that actor) … and a little bit of Anthony Hopkins .

Michael Buble and his wife Luisana Lopilato have fallen in love deeper since their son Noah battled cancer.

It was reported in November 2016 that Noah, who was then just three, had been diagnosed with liver cancer.

The youngster has since gone on to make a full recovery, and Michael says far from tearing his family apart, it has brought them closer together.

"I think Lu and I fell in love in a deeper way," he smiled to Hello! magazine. "When you hear all that horrible statistics, that 92 percent of parents get divorced and we did not love hearing that. "

As well as Noah, the couple has son Elias, two, and newborn daughter Vida, who they welcomed in July.

During Noah's cancer battle, Michael quit all work commitments to focus on his family, but he recently went back to music and will release new album Love later in November.

"It's a small way to reach out with my music and to maybe help some people get through their tribulations, the way they helped me get through mine," he said of the record. "And even though I will have no idea how much I can help them, they will have no idea how much they helped me.

"That outpouring of love, compassion, the prayers, the people in the street, the little bit would get through me and they would sometimes reinvigorate us on days that we did not know how to get through."
