Anthology IV – Join the Team (easter eggs)
There are a few comic book easter eggs in this story. There are also some continuity references to other Anthology stories. I hope you enjoyed them.
Easter eggs:
The sub-titles all contain X-Men: Storm, Gambit, Rogue, Blink, Cyclops, Rogue, Angel, Bishop and (Kitty) Pryde.
Other X-Men referenced: Logan (Wolverine), Iceman, Havok, Jubilee, Beast, (Professor) Xavier and Mystique.
Matt names his fish after Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Other Marvel characters mentioned: (Steve) Roger(s), Tony (Stark) and (Will Striker) William Stryker.
“Look, it’s like this. Since 1963, we have had Seeker. That is someone who can sense and locate other enhanced people.”
In 1963 the X-Men first published.
Comic book exclamations: Crack! Drip! Gasp! Pow! Thwack! Smack! Poof! Squeak! Sploosh!
Continuity references: Anthology I (chronal cognition), Anthology II (Horace Hump) and Anthology III (mind controllers). Anthology V [to be written] (Betazoid and Apport).
Very cute! I liked the sub-titles and the exclamations a lot. I enjoyed the first part and am looking forward to the second :D
