* In ''ComicBook/Marvel1602: [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Fantastick Four]]'', the counterpart of Namor/the ComicBook/SubMariner is named [[Literature/TheSilmarillion Numenor]], and his (unsunken) country is called Bensaylum, after Bensalem in Francis Bacon's ''The New Atlantis''.
* In ''ComicBook/MarvelUniverse'' #8, and subsequent stories, Mole Man is given the real name Harvey Elder. This is a reference to Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder, creators of the criminal "Melvin Mole" in ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' #2. (This then gets referenced slightly differently in the ''ComicStrip/SpiderMan'' newspaper strip, where his name's Melvin Kurtzman.)
* In the 90's ComicBook/{{Morbius}} comic, a nurse asks "Who's Film/{{Darkman}}?" when she sees Morbius covered by bandages when he's escorted to a hospital while trying to keep his identity a secret.
* ''ComicBook/MsMarvel2014'':

** Bruno's co-worker at the convenience store is named "[[Film/{{Clerks}} Chatty Bob]]."
** There is a brand of hot sauce in Bruno's convenience store called "[[Series/ChappellesShow Dylan's Hot Fiyah]]."
** ''Magical Pony Adventures'' is Earth-616's counterpart of our ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4'', complete with names such as "Rainbow Toots".
** When trying to research her new powers, Kamala kept finding web-pages dedicated to ''[[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft World of Battlecraft]]'' instead of anything helpful when searching for "''Polymorph''"[[note]]there is a spell by that name in 'World of Warcraft''[[/note]].
** Bruno, at seeing "Captain Marvel" in his store: [[Film/BillAndTed "Strange things are afoot at the Circle Q."]]
** Bruno's [[Film/BackToTheFuture 1.21 Gigawatts t-shirt]] in #5.
** Kamala goes into Doge speak when she first meets ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}:

** Assorted uses of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "embiggen" and "cromulant"]]
** Kamala after hacking an Inventor robot in #11: [[VideoGame/ZeroWing All Your Bots Are Belong To Us]]
** Bruno called Loki's improvised LoveLetter ''Series/DowntonAbbey weirdo crap''.
** During Kamala's rant to Kaboom about how her people (Muslims) suffered for the actions of a dangerous few and how Inhumans will suffer for her's, she yells "Not again! NEVER again!". This references the well-known rallying cry for victims of the Holocaust and other ethnically-motivated genocides, which would later be appropriated as a slogan for the Jewish Defense League.
* The Snarks, enemies to Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/PowerPack'', were a Shout Out to [[Literature/AliceInWonderland Lewis Carroll]]; in-story, they were so nicknamed by another alien with a fondness for Earth literature.
* ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' had several:
** The team's short-lived codenames include Film/ArsenicAndOldLace, [[Music/TheBeatles Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds]]... and [[Franchise/TheMatrix Neo]].
** Molly Hayes has a [[ComicBook/XStatix Doop]] doll (and sometimes also a Doop T-shirt.)
** In the "Victorious" future briefly glimpsed in the second issue of the second series, it's mentioned that [[ComicBook/AstonishingXmen Armor]] leads the Franchise/XMen.
** Excelsior is made up of former teen heroes [[ComicBook/{{Slingers}} Ricochet]], [[ComicBook/PowerPack Lightspeed]], [[ComicBook/NewWarriors Turbine, Darkhawk]], former Green Goblin Phil Ulrich, and [[ComicBook/GenerationX Chamber]].
** In perhaps the most esoteric reference, during the "Dead End Kids" arc, the team walks past a woman who looks a hell of a lot like the early feminist Emma Goldman.
** One of the Street Arabs is ComicBook/YellowKid.
** In the first issue of the third series, Xavin impersonates Creator/KevinSmith.
** Molly tells Klara that Victor is a [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Cylon]].
* "[[Series/DoctorWho Bad]] [[ArcWords Wolf]]" appears as graffiti in an issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''.
** During the first Morlun arc (by Creator/JMichaelStraczynski), a couple of workers at a nuclear plant are [[strike: giving JMS free publicity]] discussing ''Series/BabylonFive''.
** In 1998, Tom [=DeFalco=] penned "There Once Was a Spider..!" (Amazing Spider-Man #439), wherein a pair of archaeologists of a FutureImperfect find a webshooter and spend much of the issue explaining how their futuristic society thinks Spider-Man's life was like. Some of the many inaccuracies they believe in are that Spidey had a [[Franchise/{{Batman}} high-tech hideout with numerous trophies and spider-themed vehicles]]. Nearly 9 years later, a story of similar premise was used in Season 4, Episode 7 of ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' called "Artifacts".
* ''[[ComicBook/Thor2014 Mighty Thor]]'' #9 has a scene where the Silver Samurai sarcastically calls the title heroine "Franchise/SailorMoon."
* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel: Has its [[ShoutOut/UltimateMarvel own page]].
* The conclusion to the ''Secret Warps'' event had the Warped universe folding in on itself, several more times. During the first, where all characters were {{composite|Character}}s of four Marvel characters, we saw a fusion of all members of the ComicBook/FantasticFour at once. But he was not called the 'Fantastic One', as you would expect - instead, he was [[VideoGame/TheWonderful101 The Wonderful One]].
* ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'' is a pastiche of the ComicBook/JusticeLeague, and Marvel absolutely ''loves'' rubbing it in DC's lawyers' faces, ranging from Zarda calling Hyperion a "super-man" while [[AsYouKnow explaining his origins to him]], to Skymax telling the ComicBook/{{Exiles}} that "our ''league'' exists to serve ''justice''" (emphasis theirs). When a version of the team becomes the US Government superheroes, not only do they add "of America" to their name, but because they're based in the capitol, they're called "D.C.'s greatest heroes".
* ''Franchise/XMen'':
** The start of the crossover with the ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' in ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'' has Iceman rapping along to the Music/RunDMC song "It's Tricky."
** Creator/ChrisClaremont was a big fan of this. One of the alternate Earths the heroes visited during the "Cross-Time Caper" arc of ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'' featured {{Lawyer Friendly Cameo}}s from anime characters like the LightNovel/DirtyPair (referred to as "A Lovely Pair"), while the M-Squad were very blatantly modeled after the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}.
** Destiny's real name is Irene Adler, a nod to the [[ClassyCatBurglar female thief]] of the same name from the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' stories.
** The Hellfire Club segment of ''ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga'' is a WholePlotReference to ''Series/TheAvengers1960s'' episode "A Touch of Brimstone". Because of this Jason Wyndgarde's name is a ShoutOut to Peter Wyndgarde (who played both the equivalent character in the original and ''Series/JasonKing'') and ComicBook/EmmaFrost's is a ShoutOut to Emma Peel. Later comics established the Black Queen of the London club as Emma Steed (a reference to Mrs Peel again and her partner John Steed) and a 17th century Black Queen was Diana Knight (Mrs Peel's maiden name was Knight and her actress was Diana Rigg) and her consort is Patrick Clemens (Patrick [=McNee=] played Steed and Brian Clemens wrote "A Touch of Brimstone".) The ''Steed and Mrs Peel'' comic [[http://doubleosection.blogspot.com/2012/06/boom-reveals-avengers-comic-covers.html returned the homage]] by having two variant covers which showed Mrs Peel, in her Queen of Sin outfit, in the place of Frost from the cover of an issue of ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' and ComicBook/JeanGrey from the cover of one of the ''Dark Phoenix'' issues of ''ComicBook/XMen''.
** ''ComicBook/NewXMen'' has the telepathic character [[Characters/DeadpoolSupportingCharacters Negasonic Teenage Warhead]], named after a Music/MonsterMagnet song.
** An issue of the second volume of ''[[ComicBook/NewMutants New X-Men]]'' has Surge listening to "Sing for the Moment" by Music/{{Eminem}}.
** Polaris' civilian name, Lorna Dane, was taken from the novel ''Literature/LornaDoone'' by R. D. Blackmore.
** Sauron is named after Creator/JRRTolkien's ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]]'' villain of the same name. Sauron's origin flashback in ''X-Men'' #60 even has him explicitly mention the Tolkien connection while coming up with his villainous moniker.
** The bridge of the Shi'ar ship that chases Lilandra to Earth looks... [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries familiar]]. They even have similar uniforms, and a PrimeDirective. A few pages later, Lilandra teleports to Earth, and [[ComicBook/DaughtersOfTheDragon Misty Knight]] comments that it even looks like the transporter effects.
** The members of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard were famously modeled after various members of DC's ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes: Gladiator for [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superboy]], Mentor for Brainiac 5, Oracle for Saturn Girl, Fang for Timber Wolf, Smasher for Ultra Boy, Titan for Colossal Boy, ect.
** ''Uncanny X-Men'' #153 has two shout-outs to ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'': ComicBook/KittyPryde wears an ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' teeshirt, and in the made-up story she tells there's a sprite named Pini who calls humans "bigthings", like Preservers in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest''.
*** Spanning rather more than one issue is the first name of Rahne Sinclair, who can shapechange into a wolf, apparently a shout out to Rahnee the She-Wolf, the second chief of the Wolfriders. (Rahnee was first mentioned in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' #4, published in 1979, Rahne's first published appearance was in 1982.)
*** A novel and live-action movie (early 1980's), ''Literature/{{Wolfen}}'', has perhaps influenced Wolfsbane of the ComicBook/NewMutants. The emphasis on both the sensory details of her wolf-form, and the link with Native Americans.
* In the ComicBook/{{X 23}} series ''Target X'', Laura begins attending high school with her cousin Megan. Due to her, shall we say, '''abnormal''' upbringing, Laura thinks nothing of demonstrating her language skills to her French teacher by reciting a litany of ways to bribe and torture government officials, and later lists the exact amount of blood in the average human body and ways to kill someone in another class. The shout out comes from the depictions of the teachers: Jamie and Adam from ''Series/MythBusters''.
* ''ComicBook/WhatIf'':
** In the very first issue, Uatu says it's still uncertain if ComicBook/SpiderMan's tussle with [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} a certain alien in primary colors]] took place in this reality, or another.
** What If? #36 shows what would have happened had the ComicBook/FantasticFour not gained their powers: Reed and Ben complete their space flight, and the foursome [[InSpiteOfANail become well-known celebrities and do-gooders]] who are then tasked by the government to help solve a crisis caused by the Mole Man. As they enter an underground transport to the Mole Man's lair, Johnny asks Reed what he thinks they'll find on the other side.
--> '''Reed:''' The unknown, Johnny. But whatever it may be... We'll meet its {{ComicBook/Challenge|rsOfTheUnknown}}.
* Writer Fred Van Lente likes to do this in his comics, having characters quote or paraphrase classic movies or books. Few examples:
-->'''[[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]''': Latest news from [[ComicBook/DarkReign H.A.M.M.E.R.]] - ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour We have always been at war with Eastasia]]''\\
'''Machine Man''': Greetings, [[ComicBook/MarvelZombies rotting fleshy ones]]. I have been programmed to eviscerate you repulsive squishy organic bit and chew gum. [[Film/TheyLive And I hate gum]].\\
'''Machine Man''': God help me! [[Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream I have no stomach and I must barf]]!
* Abnett and Lanning again; once they ended up basically in charge of Marvel's cosmic characters, they seemed to love playing with the {{Alternate Company Equivalent}}s they acquired, whether it was teasing the idea of Ego the Living Planet joining the Nova Corps (in reference to Mogo, the living Franchise/GreenLantern planet), or Rocket Raccoon using "Brainiac" as a sarcastic term of abuse (like "Einstein" or "Sherlock") to Mentor, the Imperial Guard's Brainiac 5 {{Expy}}.
** And while the Imperial Guard's influence is obvious, there's also smaller references in them. The symbiotic duo Warstar, the Guard's Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel counterpart, are named B'nee and C'cil after Cecil the Sea Serpent and Benny.
* ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms'':
** In the ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' tie-in, one of the Skrull deserters turns into Fezzik from ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
** In the ''War Scrolls'' tie-in, Wiccan sarcastically says "[[Franchise/SailorMoon Moon Prism Power]]" while changing into a new outfit.
!!!The following have their own pages:

----
* When Araña was first being fitted for costumes in ''Amazing Fantasy'', several of her potential outfits resembled those of ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, Franchise/SailorMoon, [[Franchise/TheMatrix Trinity]], and [[Film/KillBill The Bride]].
* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'':
** The scene where [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11/113509/6935340-mvc%20reference.jpg the Avengers face down the Winter Guard]] in issue #10 of the Jason Aaron ''Avengers'' run is a direct [[HomageShot homage]] to the cover of the first ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' game.
** In ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers'', Hank Pym has almost become a walking shout-out to the ''Series/DoctorWho'' fandom. Multiple identities, personalities, and costumes over the years? Check. Female sidekick? Yep, Jocasta fits that right there. Heck he even has a do anything tool, i.e. Sonic Screwdriver, thanks to the use of a smart chip and Pym Particles to store multiple tools in one tiny thing. His base is even so similar to a TARDIS that Amadeus Cho calls him on it.
** ''Avengers Assemble'' introduces the football-based British superheroine Magic Boots Mel, who is basically [[Film/BendItLikeBeckham Jess Bharma]] with "Billy's Boots" from the ''Roy of the Rovers'' strip of the same name.
** ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers'' (vol. 3):
*** During the ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'' tie-in, ComicBook/MonicaRambeau introduces herself as "It's Monica. [[Music/JanetJackson Or Spectrum. If you're nasty]]."
*** Doctor Positron [[Film/AustinPowers welcomes the heroes to his underground lair]], which isn't actually underground. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when he admits that the ''Film/AustinPowers'' movies are a favorite of his.
* ''ComicBook/TheAwesomeSlapstick'' features several of these, to [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Marvel]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} DC]], [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes WB]] characters, and basically anything that the creators thought funny, especially in the second issue which took place in a mall.
* In the Marvel comic ''Blaze of Glory: The Last Ride'' (essentially a "whatever happened to...?" focusing on Marvel's Wild West characters, specifically Two-Gun Kid, ComicBook/RawhideKid, Kid Colt, Outlaw Kid, Gunhawk, and others) a young boy excitedly rattling off the names of his dime-novel heroes mentions the name "Jeb Kent" - a character from the '''DC''' series ''The Kents'' (written by the same author).
** Oh, and the large number of characters with "Kid" in their nickname is humorously {{lampshade|Hanging}}d within that issue; someone runs into the bar where they are drinking and calls out "Hey, Kid!" and they all turn and say, "Yeah?"
* In ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica/Thor - The Mighty, Fighting Avengers'', both Thor and Cap wind up in Camelot to discover Loki pretending to be Merlin. How does Loki explain away the change in appearance and demeanor to King Arthur?
-->'''Arthur:''' And you, Merlin... You seem now to have completely recovered from your... What did you call it...?
-->'''Loki:''' My [[Series/DoctorWho Regeneration]], sire.
** Made funnier by a comment in the new series that River Song hates wizards in stories because they always turn out to be him. (And indeed, the old series confirmed that he was indeed Merlin.)
* In ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' v3 #10, Daredevil demands to know what The Moleman plans to do with a body he has stolen - asking if he has discovered a "Resurrection Bath" in his underground kingdom, a rather obvious nod to the Lazarus Pits of Franchise/{{Batman}} fame.
** [[http://source.superherostuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Born-Again-Final-Page.gif The final page]] from ''ComicBook/DaredevilBornAgain'' bears more than a passing resemblance to the cover of the Music/BobDylan album [[http://i58.fastpic.ru/big/2013/1124/dd/8f865b991f487688da3f2da99ef780dd.jpg "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan"]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'':
** In issue #27 of his first ongoing series, Deadpool address Kitty Pryde, "You smug little-- Speaking of games. You ever play [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Deadpool_shoruken_singlepanel.JPG Street Fighter?]]" This is later referenced in an actual ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' comic, where Ryu says "Speaking of comics, you ever read Deadpool?" before hitting Sagat with the very {{Shoryuken}} that gave him the scar on his chest.
** Another issue opens with a bunch of Nazis pointing at a map and reporting to Hitler, when one of them gives the unwelcome news that ComicBook/NickFury cannot be found. We then get [[{{Film/Downfall}} Hitler removing his glasses over several panels (due to his hand shaking)]] [[WebVideo/HitlerRants before he starts yelling]].
---> '''Hitler:''' Here is where the Fourth Army should crush Sergeant Fury and his Howling Commandos from the flank. They have been a constant thorn in my side, but ''no longer!''\\
'''General:''' My Fuhrer...\\
'''Another general:''' My Fuhrer... Sergeant Fury and his Howling Commandos have ''smashed'' your Fourth Army and continued their march towards Berlin.\\
'''A third general:''' We don't know their current location.\\
'''Hitler:''' ''[after shakily removing his glasses]'' Son of a bitch! What are they, like-- '''Six men?''' I have millions of soldiers out looking for a bunch of drunken braggarts! How hard is it to kill Nick Fury? He '''wears an eyepatch!!!''' Just sneak up on him in his ''huge freaking blind spot!!!'' Then stab away! Ach. If these are my last days, don't tell anybody about them. I don't want any books or films to be made portraying me as the lunatic captain of a sinking ship.
* In ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange: The Oath'', Strange travels to another dimension to face "[[SignificantAnagram Otkid]] the Omnipotent" and retrieve an elixir which he hopes can cure his servant Wong's inoperable cancer. The CorruptCorporateExecutive trying to destroy this medicine (he runs a pharmaceutical company) has a copy of ''Literature/TheFountainhead'' on his desk. Both are references to Doctor Strange's creator, Steve Ditko.
* In the ComicBook/Marvel2099 series ''Doom 2099'', the British hacker Communion Jack uses the phrase "[[Series/RedDwarf Smoke me a kipper]]."
* ''[[ComicBook/SpiderVerse Edge of Spider-Verse]]'' #5 features the story of Peni Parker, a Japanese girl with a MiniMecha who acts as her reality's version of Franchise/SpiderMan. The {{anime}} nods are numerous, such as Peni's classmates being [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Kaworu]], and [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]], or [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell the Major, Batou]] and [[Manga/{{Akira}} Kaneda]] appearing as gangsters and she and ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} beat up.
* In one ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' issue there is an extremely obvious shout out to ''Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''.
** In ''Marvel Comics 1998 Annual'', he [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/12/124715/2587803-x_man_psi_armor_1.jpg closely resembles]] [[http://www.animetsu.com/published/publicdata/ANIMETSUDB/attachments/SC/products_pictures/FIG-IPN-0682.jpg The World]] from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
* ''ComicBook/{{The Invaders|MarvelComics}}'': In ''Giant-Size Invaders'' #1, which details the teams's formation, a weakened Master Man is forced to flee from the heroes, resulting in a few shout-outs to Franchise/{{Superman}}: The narration states how, now that his strength is leaving him, Master Man has no hope leaping through even a short building in any number of bounds, and ComicBook/{{Bucky|Barnes}} states that he's still "faster than a speeding bull-dozer".
* In Creator/KieronGillen's run on ''ComicBook/IronMan'', a former mentor of Tony's named Eli Warren is introduced. In case the name is too subtle, he also looks and talks just like Creator/WarrenEllis.
* Edwin Jarvis, butler to ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/TheAvengers, is named after Alfred Pennyworth's father Jarvis, mentioned when Alfred first appears in ''ComicBook/{{Batman}} #16'' (1943).
* ''ComicBook/LaffALympics'':
** The title "The Discount of Monty Cristo" is an allusion to ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo''.
** When a guy at a comic book convention says [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy]]'s regular outfit is the worst outer space alien costume he's ever seen, Shaggy tells him to [[Franchise/{{Superman}} "leap over a tall building in a single bound"]].
* ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' has the mysterious arc words "That which is called ego-death is coming for you," which is a quote from, of all things, Timothy Leary's ''The Psychedelic Experience.''
* As seen up top, ComicBook/MarvelAdventures had an issue where Giant Girl went berserk; as well as the cover, she went on to [[Film/KingKong1933 climb a tall building while carrying a hairy mutant]].
* In ''ComicBook/Marvel1602: [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Fantastick Four]]'', the counterpart of Namor/the ComicBook/SubMariner is named [[Literature/TheSilmarillion Numenor]], and his (unsunken) country is called Bensaylum, after Bensalem in Francis Bacon's ''The New Atlantis''.
* In ''ComicBook/MarvelUniverse'' #8, and subsequent stories, Mole Man is given the real name Harvey Elder. This is a reference to Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder, creators of the criminal "Melvin Mole" in ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'' #2.

** The members of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard were famously modeled after various members of DC's ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes: Gladiator for [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superboy]], Mentor for Brainiac 5, Oracle for Saturn Girl, Fang for Timber Wolf, Smasher for Ultra Boy, Titan for Colossal Boy, ect.
** ''Uncanny X-Men'' #153 has two shout-outs to ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'': ComicBook/KittyPryde wears an ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' teeshirt, and in the made-up story she tells there's a sprite named Pini who calls humans "bigthings", like Preservers in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest''.
*** Spanning rather more than one issue is the first name of Rahne Sinclair, who can shapechange into a wolf, apparently a shout out to Rahnee the She-Wolf, the second chief of the Wolfriders. (Rahnee was first mentioned in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' #4, published in 1979, Rahne's first published appearance was in 1982.)
*** A novel and live-action movie (early 1980's), ''Literature/{{Wolfen}}'', has perhaps influenced Wolfsbane of the ComicBook/NewMutants. The emphasis on both the sensory details of her wolf-form, and the link with Native Americans.
* In the ComicBook/{{X 23}} series ''Target X'', Laura begins attending high school with her cousin Megan. Due to her, shall we say, '''abnormal''' upbringing, Laura thinks nothing of demonstrating her language skills to her French teacher by reciting a litany of ways to bribe and torture government officials, and later lists the exact amount of blood in the average human body and ways to kill someone in another class. The shout out comes from the depictions of the teachers: Jamie and Adam from ''Series/MythBusters''.
* ''ComicBook/WhatIf'':
** In the very first issue, Uatu says it's still uncertain if ComicBook/SpiderMan's tussle with [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} a certain alien in primary colors]] took place in this reality, or another.
** What If? #36 shows what would have happened had the ComicBook/FantasticFour not gained their powers: Reed and Ben complete their space flight, and the foursome [[InSpiteOfANail become well-known celebrities and do-gooders]] who are then tasked by the government to help solve a crisis caused by the Mole Man. As they enter an underground transport to the Mole Man's lair, Johnny asks Reed what he thinks they'll find on the other side.
--> '''Reed:''' The unknown, Johnny. But whatever it may be... We'll meet its {{ComicBook/Challenge|rsOfTheUnknown}}.
* Writer Fred Van Lente likes to do this in his comics, having characters quote or paraphrase classic movies or books. Few examples:
-->'''[[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]''': Latest news from [[ComicBook/DarkReign H.A.M.M.E.R.]] - ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour We have always been at war with Eastasia]]''\\
'''Machine Man''': Greetings, [[ComicBook/MarvelZombies rotting fleshy ones]]. I have been programmed to eviscerate you repulsive squishy organic bit and chew gum. [[Film/TheyLive And I hate gum]].\\
'''Machine Man''': God help me! [[Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream I have no stomach and I must barf]]!
* Abnett and Lanning again; once they ended up basically in charge of Marvel's cosmic characters, they seemed to love playing with the {{Alternate Company Equivalent}}s they acquired, whether it was teasing the idea of Ego the Living Planet joining the Nova Corps (in reference to Mogo, the living Franchise/GreenLantern planet), or Rocket Raccoon using "Brainiac" as a sarcastic term of abuse (like "Einstein" or "Sherlock") to Mentor, the Imperial Guard's Brainiac 5 {{Expy}}.
** And while the Imperial Guard's influence is obvious, there's also smaller references in them. The symbiotic duo Warstar, the Guard's Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel counterpart, are named B'nee and C'cil after Cecil the Sea Serpent and Benny.
* ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms'':
** In the ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' tie-in, one of the Skrull deserters turns into Fezzik from ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
** In the ''War Scrolls'' tie-in, Wiccan sarcastically says "[[Franchise/SailorMoon Moon Prism Power]]" while changing into a new outfit.
