''Ultimate'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120615213437/http://fans.marvel.com/marvel_interactive/blog/2011/09/22/ultimate_marvel_vs._capcom_3_alternates:_iron_man_and_iron_fist color schemes] includes ''Evil Iron Man'' from the Capcom [[SNES]] game ''Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems'' (which, incidentally, also looks uncannily like Iron Man [[Legacy Character]] Mainframe from [[Marvel Comics 2]]) and his Gold Mk-II Armor.

* '''Nova''' screams "[[The Shining|Here's Richie!]]" when being called out.

** Nova's [http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/marvelcapcom-week8/image-feature/index.html alternate colors] are based off of two of his '90s ''[[New Warriors]]'' looks, one based off his look from ''Millennial Visions: Marvel Knights'', [[Quasar (comics)|Quasar]], and Nova 00.

** She has an alternate color scheme that makes her Lyra (the ''other'' She-Hulk) from the Frightful Four, a scheme that makes her Red She-Hulk, and a scheme based on her ''Ultimate'' appearance (Red and Ultimate She-Hulk are both different versions of Betty Ross, the former in Earth-616, the mainstream Marvel universe).

** ''Ultimate'' has Trish not only [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] [[Freud Was Right|her intention]] [[Identical Stranger|resemblance to Dante's mother Eva]] but mocking Dante's [[Memetic Mutation|infamous]] "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with '''''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ddOyvnh6o LIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!]''''' line from the first game.

** Her Lunch Rush hyper has a maximum of 41 hits (excluding the initial gunshot that sets up the move), the total number of known Servbots as of ''[[Mega Man Legends]] 2'' and ''The Misadventures of Tron Bonne''. It's also a reference to ''Mega Man Legends 2'', where {{spoiler|1=the Servbots repeatedly sent letters to MegaMan requesting that he join as Servbot #42 in order to cheer up Tron. This is referenced in her ending, where she reprograms a Sentinel to serve as Servbot #42.}}
