* Deadpool wouldn't be Deadpool without making a couple of these, and manages to make a double-shout out to himself in one line, when he explains his [[FacialHorror appearance]] by saying that he's actually "a clone of Ryan Reynolds, until I got bitten by a radioactive Shar-Pei". This neatly references the [[ActorAllusion actor]], the [[{{Film/Deadpool}} films]] (quoting the first one almost exactly), ''ComicBook/CableAndDeadpool'', where Deadpool described himself as looking "like Ryan Reynolds crossed with a shar-pei", and Spider-Man's classic origin, given that Peter Parker is right next to him and gets bitten by spiders the next chapter. He also alludes to his Bea Arthur obsession.

Added DiffLines:

* Harry spends the entirety of chapter 13 quoting Obi-Wan at appropriate moments, both to fit the role and troll the hell out of everyone else involved. However, he briefly dips into ''Series/DoctorWho'', when he quips, "not impossible, just a little bit unlikely."
* In that same vein, Julie opens up the teleportation matrix with a TARDIS style throttle and a gleeful cry of "GERONIMO!"
