Rest in Peace

For one day, heroes and villains came together as one. No battles were fought, no hard words were spoken. Grudges were set aside, and all were silent.

It was a day to mourn.

The world (the universe, really) didn’t understand why the passing of one man was enough to cause such an unprecedented event. A man passing away at the age of 95 - sad, certainly, but who was he to the likes of the Avengers, the X-Men, Loki and Dr. Doom?

But heroes and villains alike came together, bowed their heads and paid their respects. They knew what this one man had been to them all. Without him, they would not have existed.

So together, the extraordinary of the universe stopped everything to say goodbye.

“Rest in peace, Stan,” they murmured.
