History ShoutOut / SentinelsOfTheMultiverse

* In a more real world example, there are a number of Sentinels characters named after friends and family members of the Greater Than Games creators. They mostly don't share similarities to the characters named after them, with the notable exception of Argent Adept being named after one of the creators' brother who is a professional musician, and Setback's name and overall character being inspired by a friend with similar uncannily strange luck and upbeat attitude.

* The flavor text in one of the Magmaria environment's cards notes that while one particular creature is immune to fire, it [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda "dislikes smoke."]]

** Their nemesis messages yield even more references. XPW Argent Adept's generic message has the line "It's time to let freedom rock!", likely a reference to a classic 60s/70s rock music compilation album with a memorable quirky TV ad that advertised it. And his message with Akash'Bhuta has him going "[[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Alright band, time to]] crank it UpToEleven!"

** Speaking of Rook City, one of the cards is called [[Film/ANewHope Scum and Villainy]] and involves the heroes running into a BadGuyBar.
** And the name of that bar? The Wretched Hive.

* The Enclave of the Endlings is a reference to the works of 50's science fiction and comic legend [[Creator/JackKirby Jack Kirby]], including KirbyDots in the art. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeHr6HjhS2Y music]] for the videogame version takes it a step further, being based on the 60's cartoon adaptations of those comics.

* The [[http://sentinelsofthemultiverse.com/system/files/downloads/StoryChallenges.pdf Story Challenges]] feature even more in the names, such as "[[Film/ANewHope You're all clear, kid!]]," [[VideoGame/MortalKombat "Finish Him!" and "Flawless Victory,"]] "[[Film/JurassicPark Lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal]]," and "[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The Fires of Mt. Doom]]."

** Tempest's Reclaim From The Deep card shows him salvaging the Staff of Ra and Bunker's helmet from the bottom of the ocean, but also visible are [[ComicBook/WonderWoman a golden lasso and a pair of bracers]], and a [[ComicBook/Captain America suspiciously familiar shield with a red, white and blue design]].

* The flavor text for The Wraith's Razor Ordnance is, "[[Film/BatmanBegins Compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share.]]" Her Utility Belt card's is, "[[Series/{{Batman}} The true crimefighter always carries everything she needs in her utility belt, Tyler.]]" Her nemesis, appropriately enough, paraphrases ComicBook/TheJoker, with, "[[Film/TheDarkKnight I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of my time.]]"

** Mainstay as [[Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] and Idealist as [[Franchise/ChildsPlay Chucky]].

* Setback's Incapacitated side is a direct reference to [[SpiderMan Spider Man No More]].

** Stuntman as the lead zombie from ''{{Music/Thriller}}''.

* Void Guard The Idealist has a variant titled SuperSentai Idealist. Its base power? "[[Anime/{{Voltron}} Form the Head]]".

** Speaking of Rook City, one of the cards is called [[Film/StarWarsEpisodeIVANewHope Scum and Villainy]] and involves the heroes running into a BadGuyBar.

* During October of 2018 for Inktober, Adam (the artistic creator of the game) decided to [[https://sentinelswiki.com/index.php?title=Sentinels_of_the_Night draw the Sentinels characters as various horror tropes]]. Most of them were generic concepts, but a few were specific references:

** Medico as [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Dr. Jekyll]] and Writhe as Mr. Hyde.

** Unity as {{Literature/Herbert West|Reanimator}}.

** Guise as [[WesternAnimation/TheDavidSPumpkinsHalloweenSpecial David S. Pumpkins]].

* Omnitron-X's quote for his HeroicSacrifice on''' Self Sabotage''', ''"The survival of the living far outweighs the existence of one"'', references Spock's quote for his own sacrifice at the end of Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan.
