EULOGY
“My friends. We have come together to remember a man who could easily be called the greatest of us all. I did not know him when I first took up this shield, he had no part in project rebirth although he served his country just the same, but he was instrumental in finding my frozen body and reviving me. Over the years we came to know each other very well even became friends and no matter how dark things became he was there for us all.
I would now like to ask some of his friends to share some of their memories of him. Dr. Richards.”
“Where do I start? He was there at the beginning with the space flight. He didn't shy away from us after the accident but rather saw the potential in us when Earth needed heroes. He treated us all fairly, this was why I turned to him to tell our story rather than any of the others. In time he introduced me to others who shared his integrity and although he took a back seat we knew that he was always there rejoicing in our victories and sharing in our failures. He was a part of our family and we mourn his loss.”
“When I was a young man I lost my father, now it feels like I have lost a father all over again. He saw me through the hard times, the depression, the drinking...but he still had faith in me and in the Avengers to be there when Earth needed us. And when he needed us? I'd give all my wealth, all my technology if it meant we could raise another glass together (water for me). But time is cruel and we wash only have so much of it and no amount of powers or armour or gadgets or even magic can postpone the inevitable”
“Hulk...sad.”
“I'm sorry that we could not be in New York to share in this occasion. He did more than perhaps any other man to promote the cause of Mutants. You can be sure that he and his loved ones are in our thoughts”
“Hello. Er I'm at a loss for words which is odd for me. Mr Stark said he was like a father. Well to me he was a surrogate uncle and above all a friend. He didn't have flashy powers but he gave hope to those who knew him, that things could be better.”
“ “
“Blackbolt expresses the grief of the entire Inhuman people.”
“The flags in my country fly at half mast. After all it was as much him as me that made Latervia what it is today.”
“In my country also. He helped us realise that The world had grown enough to welcome Wakanda as brothers.”
“I, am, Groot.”
“You said it big guy”
“If ever a mortal deserved to feast in the halls of Valhalla, it is he.”
“He was OK for a hairless ape.”
“I'd like to ask another captain to sum up, Lord Braddock.”
“Thank you. A wise man from my county wrote “No man is truly dead while his name is spoken.” So I would ask you to join me in a toast, to Stan Lee. Excelsior!”
Elsewhere.
“So when do I get to go back? There's so much more to tell.”
“Hush now and enjoy your rest. You of all people should know no story ever truly ends. But sometimes new characters need to come to the fore, but those who were there from the beginning are never forgotten.”
