The death of Stan Lee has been a tough one for fans, but Netflix has a neat way to honour the comic book genius.

If you search for "Excelsior!" on the streaming platform, you'll be presented with a list of Marvel titles that are available on Netflix.

Obviously what TV and movies are available to you depends on your location, but my results included the Daredevil series, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Jessica Jones, and The Defenders, among other titles in "Stan Lee's Universe."

Of course, "Excelsior!" -- which is Latin for "ever upward" -- is how Lee signed off from various escapades throughout the years, including his columns, his notorious cameos, interviews, and even tweets.

Netflix's easter egg is just one of a number of tributes to the late Marvel great, with actors like Hugh Jackman, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr. paying their respects, and studios like Disney, Sony and Fox taking out ads to remember Lee.
