Marvel icon and perpetual film cameo fiend Stan Lee turned 95 on Thursday.

The co-creator of X-Men, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor and so many, many more heroes seen in comics, television, film and games is celebrating his birthday, with well-wishers posting messages on Twitter.

Chris "Captain America" Evans, Mark "Hulk" Ruffalo, Don "War Machine" Cheadle, and Chad "Black Panther" Boseman posted a hip-hooray for the Avengers creator. Lee wrote and edited The Avengers, which debuted in comic form in September 1963, with iconic Marvel artist Jack Kirby.
