2* A throwaway line in Creator/PaulCornell's ''[[ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} Captain Britain]]'' refers to Merlin as one of the Higher Evolutionaries, acknowledging the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic strip's presence in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse for the first time since Creator/AlanMoore was writing both characters.
3** In one issue of ''Excalibur'' Kitty and Rachel are being accosted by Daleks while queuing at a bureaucratic office
4** Plus, Merlin's appearance in Cornell's series looks to be a CallBack to the way he looked in the DWM strip.
5* ''ComicBook/BlazeOfGlory'': In Issue #2, Clay Harder mentions how he [[FakingTheDead buried Matt Hawk and the Two-Gun Kid]], and asks Marcel what became of the other Sunset Riders. Both of those are events that occurred in the series of the same name, though its canonicity to ''this'' one is [[LooseCanon debatable]].
6* In the prologue to the ''Assault On New Olympus'' arc of ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules'', Spider-Man got stuck under a bunch of cars [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he had brought down on]] [[LetsYouAndHimFight Hercules' head before]]. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Looking straight at the reader]], Spidey references [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko Amazing Spider-Man #33]] and goes:
7--> "You think ''this'' is a lot of wreckage? This is nothin'! This one time, Doc Ock dumped his entire underwater headquarters on me! Water was rushing in... [[RecycledScript But I never gave up! I never gave in! I have to be equal to my strength... or else I don't deserve it!]] ''Nnnnn!'' The strain! ''--Nnnnnn!'' It's ''unbearable'' -- but-- BUT-- Umm... yeah... actually, I ''can't'' lift this. Little help over here?"
8* A subtle one from ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' vol. 2 #55: Peter Parker, currently working as a teacher at his old high school, talking to the school secretary (or administrator?) who remembers him from when he was a student:
9-->'''Peter:''' Good afternoon, Maude. Looking beautiful as always.\
10'''Maude:''' Oh Peter, you lie beautifully darling, have ever since the ninth grade, so don't stop.\
11''Ninth grade was when Peter was about 15, i. e. when he became Spider-Man and had to lie to maintain his secret identity.''
12* In a scene in ''ComicBook/XMen'' #3, Professor Xavier privately refers to ComicBook/JeanGrey as "the woman I love." This plot point was [[AbortedArc quickly dropped]] until thirteen years later, in #101, when Professor Xavier talks to to Moira [=McTaggert=] and bemoans that his telepathic powers "cannot help this girl I once thought I loved as much as you.". After which it was dropped again until almost twenty years later, when [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Onslaught]] shows the original scene to Jean in an attempt to prove the hypocrisy of humanity.
13* ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'':
14** ''ComicBook/UltimateFF'': The history of Miles Morhames' home universe is a recap of the story of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, told with a bizarre AnthropomorphicAnimalAdaptation.
15** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates''
16*** Nick Fury and Bruce Banner discuss about his previous time as Hulk, and how he razed the port. The flashback featured Hulk fighting Spider-Man. The scene is a reference to ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvelTeamUp'' #3 and #4.
17*** The recent "mutant hysteria" that Pym mentions in passing was seen in the first arc of ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen2001''.
