* Skye tells Mike that "[[Franchise/SpiderMan with great power comes]]... a ton of weird crap that you're not ready for!"
* Simmons asks Ward if he is excited to join them on their "journey into mystery." ''[[ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery Journey into Mystery]]'' is a former Creator/MarvelComics anthology title. It was also the comic that debuted ComicBook/TheMightyThor, and in recent years has been brought back as a secondary ''Thor'' title.
* At the end of the pilot, Coulson quips that they have yet to "cut the head off the Centipede", which might be a reference to HYDRA's (S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rival organization) motto "Cut off one head, two more will take its place." [[spoiler:The connection is later confirmed as it's revealed that Centipede is part of HYDRA.]]
* Coulson mentions cleaning up a fragment of Anti-Matter that crashed down near Miami - the Anti-Matter Universe being a sizable part of the ComicBook/FantasticFour's mythos.
* Coulson's mobile command is designated S.H.I.E.L.D. 616. The primary Marvel comics universe is designated in-universe as Universe 616.
** The mobile command is also [[spoiler: destroyed in "The Dirty Half Dozen"]], only two weeks before [[spoiler: ''Earth''-616 is destroyed]] in ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015''.
* Supervillain Graviton was created in the Marvel universe in a complex called Research City, in the Rocky Mountains. The truck at the start of the episode that provides his origin story is emblazoned "Rocky Mountain Office Supplies."
* The equation that Ward is sent to photograph in "Eye-Spy" had some sections written in Skrull.
* Akela mentions that she was held prisoner in the small village of Shang-Chi, which is named for a longtime Marvel character.
* The climax of "Girl in the Flower Dress" has Coulson confronting Chan, just to distract him as May puts two syringes into him to mess up his powers, mimicking the climax of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* According to Simmons, there is a S.H.I.E.L.D. base called the Triskelion that is even bigger than the Hub. Not only is the Triskelion taken from the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, but in a rare case of preemptive ContinuityNod it is ''also'' the base seen in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
* A FreezeFrameBonus example in "The Hub," as when the Team is walking through the Hub itself there are numerous signs pointing out other divisions of S.H.I.E.L.D., such as [=PsyOps=] and H.A.M.M.E.R.
* The gas station in the beginning of "Repairs" is called "Roxxon", an energy corporation in the Marvel Comics.
* In "Seeds", it is mentioned that a "[[ComicBook/{{Quasar}} Professor Vaughn]]" is a member of the faculty at the S.H.I.E.L.D. academy.
* In "Yes Men", Lady Sif rattles off a list of blue-skinned alien races from the MarvelUniverse, including the [[ComicBook/CaptainMarVell Kree]] and [[Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Centaurians]].
* In hindsight, the fact that Mike Peterson's first name is "Mike", much like [[spoiler:Michael Collins, one Deathlok in the comics]].
* When Skye [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/f/fe/Deathlok_x-ray.png/revision/latest?cb=20140403014814 uses an X-Ray on Deathlok]] in ''End of the Beginning'', it makes him look a lot more like his [[http://whatculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/astonishing_tales_25-e1338326312145.jpg comic counterpart]] (half the head is metal, the skin looks more grey, etc.)
* In "End of the Beginning", there is a reference to Department H, the Canadian governmental organization responsible for the creation of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/AlphaFlight.
* In "Turn, Turn, Turn", there's a brief disagreement between Garrett and Coulson as to what HYDRA's motto talks about getting cut off, a "limb" or a "head". Their original appearance had it as the former, and it was changed to the latter by the time the MCU got started.
* In "Turn, Turn, Turn", In response to Coulson asking whether The Clairvoyant really believes in [[spoiler:the HYDRA goals of spreading death and destruction]], he answers "I wouldn't Say I'm a True Believer". This is in reference to Stan Lee's famous quote from the comics editorial pages.
* "Providence":
** Garret mentions putting away a guy named Johnny Horton, who had replaced his hands with lion paws. Johnny Horton was a C-list marvel villain named "the Griffin".
** The [[spoiler:HYDRA]] base in the same episode is accessed via a barbershop chair, just like the old S.H.I.E.L.D. barbershop locations in the comics.
** Skye says they're now "Agents of nothing". ''Nick Fury: Agent of Nothing'' was the title of the oneshot comic that led into ''ComicBook/SecretWarriors'', also a story about [[spoiler:an unofficial team after S.H.I.E.L.D. gets disbanded, and revelations that S.H.I.E.L.D. were controlled by HYDRA the whole time]].
** Skye mentions that the Cube has been retaken. The Cube was a prison in the comic books which Marvel Boy (Noh-Varr) briefly took over.
* "The Only Light in Darkness":
** It is stated that Blackout got his powers from the Darkforce - a two-fer, since in this continuity it's a form of [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Cosmic Radiation]].
** In the scene where Koenig questions the team, it's revealed that Triplett's grandfather was a Howling Commando. Upon hearing this, Koenig says that he would be "thrilled to have a grandfather that was a Howling Commando" - a reference to the fact that in the comics, Koenig ''was'' one of the Howling Commandos.
* In "Nothing Personal," Maria Hill is questioned about a "ComicBook/ManThing".
* The X-Men are ExiledFromContinuity, but they still had a man in a chair with psychic powers. A quadriplegic man with his whole body immobilized, not just his legs. Still, they found later that things were more complicated than that.[[invoked]]
* When the Absorbing Man tries to kidnap Talbot in the Season 2 premiere, he ends up with an ImprovisedWeapon that looks a lot like a ball and chain.
* He doesn't go by a [[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames code name]] like he does in the comics, but Agent Hartley does refer to him as "an absorbing man" at one point.
* Triplett's undercover identity in the Season 2 premiere as "General Jones" is likely a reference to the Howling Commandos character Gabe Jones - who, as the only African-American member of the company, is popularly believed to be Triplett's as-yet unnamed grandfather.
* While he himself is never referred to by that name, HYDRA's operations to recover Donnie Gill are referred to as "Project Blizzard" - a reference to his supervillain moniker in the comics
* HYDRA's brainwashing method is referred to as "The Faustus technique"-likely a reference to [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Captain America's]] foe [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Johann_Fennhoff_(Earth-616) Dr. Faustus]].
* One of the names listed in May's cellphone is "Woo", likely in reference to Jimmy Woo, a prominent S.H.I.E.L.D. agent from the comics.
* "The Hen in the Wolfhouse":
** Bobbi Morse takes down a hallway of mooks reminiscent of Black Widow in Film/IronMan2. Having a past with a fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agent (who even brings up her blonde hair) alludes to her relationship with Hawkeye.
** Melinda May remarks that Lance Hunter calls her ex-wife She-Devil, who ends up being Barbara Morse. In the comics, She-Devil is the moniker of Shanna, wife of Ka-Zar. It's also from a Ka-Zar story where Bobbi Morse debuted.
* Marcus Scarlotti ("[[ComicbookMoviesDontUseCodenames Whiplash" in the comics]]) wields a chain weapon with a blade at the end, acting as a nod to the whip he used in the comics.
* While speculating about the hidden city in "Ye Who Enter Here", one of the guesses Trip has is "[[ComicBook/SubMariner Atlantis]]?"
* The garrison used to access the hidden Kree[[spoiler: /Inhuman]] city is called "The Devil's Sentry". In the comics, Kree Sentries are [[HumongousMecha giant robots]] designed to protect assets to the empire.
* Those who are able to touch a Diviner are called "Worthy", which is the moniker for the 8 lieutenants of the "Old Serpent" Cul Borson.
** The Diviner contains a Terrigen Crystal which emits a shockwave of [[ComicBook/TheInhumans Terrigen Mist]]: this mist is known to be lethal to normal humans. [[spoiler: When Trip destroyed the crystal, shards were embedded into his chest which turns him into stone. However, the mist triggered the latent powers of Skye and Raina.]]
* "Aftershock"
** [[spoiler: Raina's new appearance since her exposure to the Terrigen Mists kinda resembles the Ultimate Universe version of Gorgon.]]
* It's mentioned in "Who You Really Are" that Heimdall from the ''Thor'' movies was responsible for seeing a Kree on Earth. Sif's attraction to Thor is once again alluded to.
** The Kree warrior Vin-Tak wields a specialized mallet that is capable of erasing people's memories. This is similar to the Universal Weapon, the special hammer wielded by Ronan the Accuser.
* In "Melinda", Gordon suggests taking [[spoiler:Raina]] to an island untouched by man. This is a possible reference to Savage Land, [[spoiler:which is also where Raina's comic counterpart resided.]]
* It is revealed in "Many Heads, One Tale" that [[spoiler: HYDRA is much older]], which is true in the comics.
* "The Singularity": Coulson is revealed to have the HardLight version of Cap's shield from the comics installed in his robotic arm.
* The scene in "The Ghost" where the Hell Charger flips through the air after being blasted by a rocket launcher is taken directly from ''Comicbook/AllNewGhostRider''.
* A reporter in "Lockup" refers to Jeffery Mace as a patriot, which is his superhero identity in the comics.
