They had a Marvel-ous idea.
City Council on Tuesday approved a proposal to name a Bronx street for late Marvel comics icon Stan Lee.
University Avenue between Brandt Place and West 176th Street will be co-named “Stan Lee Way” under a bill passed by lawmakers codifying the moniker and 85 other honorary street names.
Lee — who helped create beloved heroes such as Spiderman, the Fantastic Four, and The Hulk as he permanently etched Marvel comics into the popular consciousness — lived on the stretch of road at 1720 University Place andattended high school at DeWitt Clinton HS in The Bronx.
The proposal awaits the mayor’s signature.
