On Monday night, the news broke that Stan Lee, a Marvel Comics legend, had passed away at the age of 95.
Later on that evening, Wolverine star Hugh Jackman appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and paid a tribute to the man who helped create X-Men.
"Let me just say to the family and to the legions of fans, that I remember Stan as a true gentleman who had this glint in his eye," says Jackman. "He's a creative genius, he thought outside the box -- he created a whole universe that changed the lives of many people, mine included."
Jackman goes on to remember an anecdote from Comic Con, where he was on the red carpet as Wolverine -- and nobody was taking his photo, because Stan Lee was at the other end.
"Stan, God bless you," he finishes. "You're one of the greats."
