It is tradition in the games and movies released by Marvel to include a cameo appearance of the legendary Stan Lee. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is no exception to this rule, and many are wondering where they might be able to find Stan Lee's hidden personage in the new game. Whether he appears as a side character or as himself, fans of the Marvel Universe always look forward to spotting the beloved creator in the world he helped build. Players will want to keep an eye out as they dive into Spider-Man's sequel.

When the first Insomniac-developed Spider-Man game released in 2018, Stan Lee's cameo appearance would be one of his last while alive. The elderly creator appeared in Marvel's Spider-Man as a short-order cook, and speaks briefly with MJ before Peter comes tumbling in to save the day. Sadly, Lee would pass away just over a month after the game's release, marking an end of an era for the Marvel creative team. Fans around the globe grieved together, but despite Lee's passing, his appearances have continued as a memorial to his memory in recent media.

Players can find the cameo for Stan Lee in Spider-Man: Miles Morales in the center of the Upper West Side Map of New York City. Appearing to reprise his role from the first game as a Mick the diner cook, Lee has been properly immortalized in a beautiful bronze statue by the community, where he poses with hands on his hips like a superhero himself next door to Mick's Diner. This cameo appearance in Spider-Man captures the humor of his cameo roles as well as the tragedy of Stan Lee's passing and the impact it has had on fans, immortalizing him even after death as an influential force for Marvel and its stories.

When a player locates Stan Lee's statue on the map, an achievement for the game will be unlocked. This achievement is called "Best Fries In Town," a bitter-sweet reminder to fans of Spider-Man and the whole Marvel community of the role he played as Mick the diner owner in the first game. The memorial insinuates that the character of Mick passed on along with Lee, to be remembered by the community both in game and out that loved him and appreciated his impact as a character and a creator.

For fans of the Marvel universe, and players looking forward to the release of the new Spider-Man sequel, the inclusion of a cameo from Stan Lee in statue form is an icon worth finding. Players who find the tribute and unlock the Spider-Man achievement can appreciate the memorial in digital bronze, as they take a break from swinging between buildings in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and can rest assured that as more Marvel games continue to release and films expand on well-loved stories, cameos from Stan Lee will remain a fun Easter Egg and emotional inclusion of one of the most influential creators in comics.
