!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/StanLee
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Jesse Conde (Latin-American Spanish dub); Salvador Moreno [main films], Eduardo Muntada [''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''], Santiago Cortés [''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''], Fernando Hernández [''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'', ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''] (European Spanish dub)

* CatchPhrase: Stan Lee's real life catchphrase is "Excelsior!" He finally gets to use it in ''[[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Age of Ultron]]'' after he takes a shot of Asgardian alcohol, aged for a thousand years, getting him so drunk that he has to be assisted when walking.

A pioneer of the comic industry, and the creator or co-creator of most of the characters so far featured in not only the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also the ''X-Men'', ''Spider-Man'' and other non-Disney film and franchises. Much like Creator/AlfredHitchcock, it became a tradition for Stan Lee to make cameo appearances in most movies or TV series based on Marvel Comics, MCU and otherwise--up until his death.

** Given that ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' establishes all non-MCU Marvel movies are part of the same multiverse as the MCU, it's unknown if all of Stan's cameos in those films, whether his characters were named or not, are each an AlternateSelf or retroactively meant to be this same character.

'''Jennifer:''' Yeah. Why would I expect a giant AI brain and not a man?

** The criticism of MCU media as formulaic, which is voiced by Jen Walters disliking the cliche direction her series took, is reflected by the head of Marvel Studios being depicted as a literal robot generating its stories by algorithm.
** He makes Jennifer transform back into her normal form, since She-Hulk is too expensive to animate. But only offscreen, since the CGI artists are working on [[Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever something else]] now.
** He describes his creations as "near-perfect", and lets the internet decide which ones are less perfect than others.

* TheManBehindTheMan: As the creator of the MCU, he serves as this to every hero and villain that has appeared[[note]]Or going to appear[[/note]] in it.

'''Jen:''' Yeah. Why would I expect a giant AI brain and not a man?

[[folder:The Quantum Virus]]
!!''The Quantum Virus''
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]''

A virus contracted by a Variant of Janet van Dyne in the Quantum Realm, which quickly decimated her Earth.
----
* AdaptationalNonsapience: Played with. The ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' virus distinguished itself by creating fully sapient zombies whose villainy is driven by an uncontrollable HorrorHunger. Here, the zombies are your bog-standard mindless flesh-eaters, although they still know how to use their weapons, gear and powers, much like the zombies in the comic books did. There are however a few exceptions of some zombies still possibly possessing sentience.
** There's a brief moment where the zombified Scarlet Witch stops chasing the heroes to cradle Vision's corpse, implying that there may be ''something'' left of Wanda Maximoff.
** Zombie Happy still says "Blam!" when using his repulsor, showing they can at least speak simple phrases.
** Zombie Thanos is shown grinning after collecting six of the Infinity Stones, suggesting he still has enough sentience to complete the gauntlet and with every intention of using it.
** This is also a double example, in that the ''Marvel Zombies'' comics actually depicted ''the virus itself'' as sentient, which isn't alluded to here.
* ArcVillain: The zombies as a whole are the main antagonists of "[[Recap/WhatIfS1E5WhatIfZombies What If... Zombies?!]]"
* {{Expy}}: Of the Hunger Gospel from ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies''.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: As much as a virus can get. It seems untouchable in its debut episode. Fast-forward to "What If...The Watcher Broke His Oath?" and some of, if not ''all'' its infectees are wiped out by Infinity Ultron. If they truly are all gone, the virus may have very well ended with it.
* LogicalWeakness: As powerful as the virus is, it is still restricted to infect organic beings. Therefore, Vision, an android, and the Cloak of Levitation, a sentient piece of cloth, are immune to its influence.
* NoNameGiven: The virus is never given a proper name, save for Uatu identifying it as "a quantum virus" for having originated in the Quantum Realm.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Typical feral zombies, save for the inclusion of {{Elite Zombie}}s formed from fallen superheroes, who retain their unique powers and combat skills.
* OutsideContextProblem: It shows up shortly before its timeline's equivalent of ''Infinity War'' and promptly derails ''everything.''
* ZombieApocalypse: It quickly spreads to cover the entire world and turning the entire population into zombies.

* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: There is no way of telling what his actual job is. Himself on Larry King, varied retirees, a general, pageant judge, Smithsonian security guard, an NYPD officer, a bartender, delivery man, limo driver, hairstylist, bus driver, among others. [[spoiler: However, it appears that all his jobs are extensions of 'interstellar informant', and the various places he's employed as are covers to get information to the Watchers.]]

* AboveGoodAndEvil: As the creator of the MCU's stories whose entire purpose is for entertainment, the actions of heroes and villains alike are his doing.

* AuthorPowers: Jen convinces him to rewrite the big dumb finale that was planned for her show, removing Todd's dumb Hulk powers and letting her win in court instead.

** He makes Jennifer transform back into her normal form, since She-Hulk is too expensive. But only offscreen, since the CGI artists are working on [[Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever something else]] now.

* FunWithAcronyms: Any resemblance to Creator/KevinFeige is purely coincidental.

* TheManBehindTheMan: As the creator of the MCU, he serves as this to every hero and villain that has appeared[[note]]Or going to appear[[/note]] in it.

* TheManBehindTheMan: As the creator of the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', he serves as this to every villain that has appeared[[note]]Or going to appear[[/note]] in it.
