* In the flashback short showing Ms. Marvel's origin, she briefly considers "[[WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow Hero up!]]" as a potential CatchPhrase.

** Ms. Marvel sucker-punches the Hulk after [[ISurenderSuckers pretending to agree to talk things out]], which only causes him to [[TeethFlying spit out a dislodged tooth]] and continue attacking her. The same thing happened during the Hulk vs. Hulkbuster fight in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', when the Hulkbuster used an elevator as an improvised bludgeon.

* According to one of the shorts, Captain Marvel's plane is named "[[Creator/KellySueDeconnick Kelly Sue]]."

** Iron Man had to lift Black Widow up into the sky. He lets go, leading to her ask what he was up to. Suddenly she gets enveloped in an Iron Man armor! Widow's Ultimate Comics counterpart had a similar armor.

* The feud between Hawkeye and Ant-Man may be a nod to Chuck Austen's poorly-received ''Avengers'' run, where Hawkeye slept with TheWasp and ruined his friendship with the Hank Pym version of Ant-Man.

* In "Captain Marvel," the title character encourages Falcon by saying she knows a good pilot when she sees one. In the MarvelCinematicUniverse, Falcon, like Captain Marvel, is a former member of the U.S. Air Force. He was also a Navy pilot in the ''Comicbook/HeroesReborn'' continuity.

** Ms. Marvel punches the Hulk with all of her might, which only causes him to [[TeethFlying spit out a dislodged tooth]] and continue attacking her. The exact same thing happened during the Hulk vs. Hulkbuster fight in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.

** Howard Stark's abandoned lab contains his flying car prototype from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''.

** The fight between the two teams of Avengers ends [[spoiler: when the Vision accidentally injures Captain America. The same thing happened in [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar the movie adaptation]], but to Comicbook/WarMachine instead of Cap.]]

** [[spoiler: Later, after the Hulk absorbs the excess radiation from Red Hulk, he transforms into the Kluh from ''Comicbook/{{AXIS}}''.]]

** Cap takes a jetpack out of Hawkeye's hands, causing Hawkeye to say "Aww, jetpack." Hawkeye often goes "Aww, (noun)" in the recent Creator/MattFraction run of his comic book (And, of course, he's wearing the Fraction outfit with the purple arrow on the front).

* The concept of ComicBook/TheDefenders becoming the world's premier superhero team in a reality without the Avengers may be a WholePlotReference to ''Comicbook/AgeOfUltron''.

** [[spoiler: Ultron]] returns by inhabiting [[spoiler: the body of an android Avenger]], just like he did in [[spoiler: ''Comicbook/AgeOfUltron'']]. Though in that case the victim was [[spoiler: TheVision]] rather than [[spoiler: Arsenal]].

** The Falcon sports his [[UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] design (which incidentally, is also the basis for his [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier film]] look).

** This is itself a second MythologyGag, as this was the stance their respective counterparts took when discussing registration in the [[UltimateMarvel Ultimate Universe]].

** The movie theater in New Mexiso is playing a movie called "Where Monsters Dwell," a reference to the old Silver Age comic of the same name.
** [[spoiler: After receiving another dose of Gamma radiation, the Hulk transforms into a new, larger form that resembles his original Silver Age design by Creator/JackKirby. Even the haircut is the same.]]
** [[spoiler: Later, after the Hulk absorbs the excess radiation from Red Hulk, he transforms into the Kluh from ''Comicbook/{{AXIS}}'',]]
** [[spoiler: After

* After the Comicbook/RedHulk is [[spoiler: further mutated by an additional does of Gamma]] in "Building the Ultimate Weapon," he more closely resembles his comic appearance, complete with the flames and the bare torso.
