History ShoutOut / YoungAvengers

* Teddy's middle name is [[Film/BillAndTed Rufus]]. [[WordOfGod It is an intentional Shout Out]].

** Villains team beats in BatmanColdOpen of issue #11 are a reference to band Sisters Of Mercy.

A team of [[PopCulturedBadass Pop Cultured Badasses]] generates a lot of {{ShoutOut}}s.

* Later, when they [[spoiler: fight the giant Laufey in Asgard]], Billy comments that "It looks more fun in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Fellowship]]."

* Teddy compares Billy's having [[ComicBook/ScarletWitch Wanda]] as his "real" mother to being a magical elf child of [[LordOfTheRings Galadriel]].

* Loki sums up his [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder villainous reputation]] as "[[LordOfTheRings Sauron]] multiplied by that anti-[[Franchise/HarryPotter Dumbledore]] guy[[note]]That is to say, Voldermort.[[/note]] cubed!"

* This shortly after invoking NotEvilJustMisunderstood by comparing himself with [[ASongOfIceAndFire Tyrion]].

* The engine of Noh-Varr's ship is named ''[[JackKirby Kirby]]''. It's sparked with belief and runs on imagination.

* In a brief attempt to be less conspicuous, Billy transforms [[SuperheroesWearTights the flashy outfits]] of the team and {{Magneto}} into...a rough recreation of one set of [[Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic the von Trapp's]] outfits. (The Vision is a nun.)

* Noh-Varr's pose in issue 4 when he [[spoiler: breaks out of the club]] is a shout-out to {{Terminator}}

* One of the blogs in the final issue has the title "[[ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia GottaPayTheTrollToll]]".

** In issue 11 one of Loki's magical alarms is set off. When it alerts him, he says "Ow" and [[Theater/{{Macbeth}} a small wound on his left thumb starts bleeding.]] Leah finishes, "Something wicked this way comes," [[BrickJoke pages later]].

* Teddy compares Billy's having [[ScarletWitch Wanda]] as his "real" mother to being a magical elf child of [[LordOfTheRings Galadriel]].

** In the same group is alternate Kate in Nazi uniform, possible ShoutOut to Gillen's series at AvatarPress, ''Über''.

* In issue 3 Billy launches into a partial explanation contrasting NorseMythology with the [[TheMightyThor Marvel version]] before Miss America cuts him off.

** Said group also includes an [[TheInvisible Archon of the Outer Church]].

** It's also reminiscent of the modern incarnation of [[DoctorWho regeneration]].

* New story arc involves vengeful villain unleashing bunch of protagonists' evil alternate counterparts on Earth being opposed by massive team up of all available superheroes (in this case, teenage ones). Might be a WholePlotReference to ''[[{{Invincible}} Invincible War]]''.

* Issue #13 on "The Worst of All Possible Worlds' Invasion Of Earth":
-->'''Prognosis: [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour A knockoff Converse sneaker stomping on the human face, forever]].'''
