History:
(Deadpool II#17 - BTS) - When Blind Al warned her friend Deadpool of the dangers of time-traveling, Wade sarcastically called her Stephen Hawking.
(X-Men Unlimited I#36/3 - BTS) - Hawking had sent his latest opus to his good friend Henry McCoy for feedback. McCoy, better known as the X-Man Beast, promised to get back to Hawking, but a month after receiving the opus he was still making his way through it. During another night when McCoy could've potentially read Hawking's opus he made a house call to the Strom household to treat their son Dan Strom who'd broken his bat-like wings. The following Saturday McCoy took the time to read Hawking's opus but when the X-Man was on page 31 of his reply Cerebra notified the X-Man of a mutant life-form who was in danger which led the X-Man to encounter a mutant cat who'd taken a human-like form.
(Amazing Spider-Man I#683) - Hawking was invited to join an emergency G8 summit held at the Palazzo Senatorio in Rome with world leaders and the greatest mind on the planet. The group was gathered to discuss Doctor Octopus' announcement to offer the world a chance to stop global warming, unaware the mad scientist wanted to destroy the world with his Octavian Lens. During the G8 summit, Hawking advocated Ocavius' stance noting his plan would work and if the world leaders would help him launch more of his satellites into orbit his Octavian Shield could end the threat of global warming. Octavius' pawn Chameleon was also present during the summit, disguised as former Vice President "Al Gore" to help speed up the process when Spider-Man entered the building, accompanied by the Avengers Captain America and Thor. Recognizing Gore as a fake, Spider-Man punched the man in the face, revealing he was indeed the Chameleon.
(Deadpool V#30 - BTS) - On his way to loot the grave of Uatu the Watcher, Deadpool recalled Hawking talking about a solar sail.

Stephen Hawking (8 January 1942 - 14 March 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009.
The several political figures seen in Amazing Spider-Man I#683 are topical references. An online source claimed Hawking had another appearance in Amazing Spider-Man: Ends of the Earth, this however, is not the the case.
