History MythologyGag / AManOfIron

* Deadpool's first proper scene (as opposed to appearing in a vision) also features Ajax and Black Tom, who appeared in [[Film/{{Deadpool}} his]] [[Film/Deadpool2 movies]]. He mocks the former's true name of "Francis" and treats the latter's death as a hate crime (despite not actually being black), reflecting jokes from the films.

* Qyburn, who is combined with Mr. Sinister, refers to his minions as being little more than "marauders", the name of a villainous group that often works for Sinister in the comics.

* Our proper introduction to Spider-Man sees him interfering in a robbery carried out by criminals wearing masks styled on Targaryen kings whom he playfully pretends are the real thing, then pretends to just realize that they are imposters, just like the scene in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' where he confronts the bank robbers wearing Avengers masks.

* When the wildfire explosion at the Battle of the Blackwater unleashes power enough to start mutating people, one of the afflicted is [[ComicBook/MoonKnight Lord Marcos Specture]] who claims he can hear the moon speak to him. One of Marc Spector's major dilemmas was wondering if he ''truly'' was serving the moon god Khonsu or was just batshit insane.

* When the Guardians of the Galaxy show up, Rocket reveals that (with the exception of Star-Lord), they're spirits who have taken people's forms shortly before they died. Gamora actually did this in ''ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet'', along with Adam Warlock.

* In Tony's research on Vanko's whips he has found writings from [[ComicBook/DoctorStrange Maester Mordo]] and an etching of [[ComicBook/XMen Omega Red]] who is described as the North's whip wielding boogieman.

* Tony quotes a sellsword he met who had a flair for the dramatic and a very warped sense of humor, whose CatchPhrase was "Maximum effort". Clearly, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} has a Westeros counterpart. [[spoiler:He appears in a vision of Jorah Mormont's future.]]

* The man that meets Varys as Nikolos Fury is blonde and light-skinned, and Varys mentions the person under that name he met before was dark-skinned and bald. The mysterious Council that appears to be behind Varys and Fury suggested the latter to recruit Antony in on their group with the "[[Film/IronMan1 You just entered a bigger world]]" speech. Arguably a double one, since the first Fury claims that the other only wears an eyepatch to copy him, resembling the fact that he is based on the original version of Fury, while the other is based on the Ultimate Marvel[=/=]Marvel Cinematic Universe version.

* Fighting Euron, Shireen makes use of A Shadow Baby with Stannis's face. Though this time, the person it stabs DEFINITELY deserved it.

* Tony notes to himself that, while he'd prefer not to race in an outfit that looked like his Iron Man suit, red and gold are his colors, and he can't just go around wearing Westerlands colors. The colors of [[http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Westford House Westford]] are blue and black, the same colors as his racing outfit in ''Film/IronMan2''.

* Rickon is shown dancing on his own while listening to "Come and Get Your Love", like Peter Quill in the title sequence of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.

* While held captive by the Umbers, Robb and the Guardians rely on Baby Groot to retrieve a key to free them, just like Yondu and Rocket had him retrieve Yondu's arrow-controlling implant in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2''. And just like that movie, it takes a while for Groot to understand what they mean, which includes bringing back a random severed body part at one point.

As a FusionFic that mixes the worlds of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and the Franchise/MarvelUniverse together, ''A Man of Iron'' and its sequels contain numerous nods to the source material of both works.

* Hulk's first personal appearance in the story is as the Champion of Meereen, much like how he was the Champion of Sakaar in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. Wade also performs Thor's iconic BigYes from the movie.

* Hulk's first personal appearance in the story is as the Champion of Meereen, much like how he was the Champion of Sakaar in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''.

* During the second book, Oberyn suggests that Tony build a chariot race track at Iron Pointe. Wouldn't be the first time Tony dealt with a race track during [[Film/IronMan2 the second part of a series]]. And Vanko is in this one, too.

* When Meera is telling a story and mentions how a man had his hand cut off, Jaime winces as he imagines what it would be like, alluding to him losing his hand in canon.

* When Robb's marriage with Walder Frey's daughter is finalized, they plan to have the ceremony held in camp, rather than at the Twins. To which Robb comments that it feels like it would have been a bad idea to have had the wedding there, alluding to the infamous Red Wedding in canon.

* Our introduction to this universe's version of Sam Wilson (named Isamalwi Iso Malsosla here) has him approach Jon from behind while saying [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier "On your left"]].

* When Robb's marriage with Walder Frey's daughter is finalized, they plan to have the ceremony held in camp, rather than at the Twins. To which Robb comments that it feels like it would have been a bad idea to have had the wedding there.
* In MCU canon, Asgardians keep calling Phillip Coulson "Son of Coul" due to not understanding modern Earth naming conventions. When Coulson's counterpart in this story, Phylup, shows up, it's stated that his father actually was a man named Coul.

* During the second book, Oberyn suggests that Tony build a chariot race track at Iron Point. Wouldn't be the first time Tony dealt with a race track during [[Film/IronMan2 the second part of a series]]. And Vanko is in this one, too.

* During his duel with Yunkai's champion, Deadpool has several Second Sons sing "X Gonna Give It To Ya", which was used as theme music during the climax of his [[Film/Deadpool2016 first movie]].

* The Vulture King, the Dornish bandit warlord who plagued the early Targaryen regime, is mentioned to have had a wing harness, obviously making him a precursor for the Spider-Man villain Vulture.

* Apparently there was an incident in Vanaheim in the year 616 that Thor is embarrassed by. 616 is the designation of the prime Marvel Universe that the comics take place in.
