Line 90:
** Lampshaded in [[The Avengers (film)|the movie]], where as {{spoiler|Agent Coulson}} lays dying, he says that he's okay with it, as the team "would never work without something to..." Later on, Iron Man states that if they can't save the world, they ''will'' avenge it.
** The animated series ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes]]'' has Iron Man talk about "avenging the wrongs caused by all these villains".
* The [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men's]] resident [[Death Dealer|card-obsessed Badass]] is named Gambit, even though "gambit" is actually a chess term. Perhaps young Remy LeBeau was a fan of the blackjack-themed game show ''[[Gambit]]''?
** It's made all the more ironic by the fact that the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'s [[Rogues Gallery]] actually ''does'' include a [[Chess Motif|chess-themed]] group of supervillains known as the Hellfire Club. Gambit, who's rather infamous for his checkered past, has fallen in with a few supervillain teams at various points,<ref>The Marauders and the Horsemen of Apocalypse to be exact</ref> but has never been a member of said group.
* ''[[DC Comics]]'':
** The Silver Sorceress, a character introduced in 1971 as a deliberate [[Captain Ersatz]] of Marvel's [[Scarlet Witch]], wore a costume that of course... consisted entirely of gold, brown, and red shades. When she became part of the [[Justice League of America|Justice League]] over a decade later, she did have silver ''hair'' at least, though it was completely covered by her elaborate headgear and a [[Retcon]] in any event—in her first appearance, she was depicted with brown hair.
