The Venture Bros.: Difference between revisions

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Many, MANY characters are thinly-veiled pastiches of both famous and obscure fictional characters, although it many cases this approaches subversion or deconstruction. The creators love to make 'realistic' interpretations of other characters and watch them fall apart.

** Less obviously than most, the Action News Team is based on the Freedom Fighters (including Firebrand), with Captain Sunshine being the Ray.

** Brown Widow, an actual [[Spider-Man]] living in New York, who shoots webbing out of the spinnerets located on his lower back.

*** His stopping the runaway cab in a wall of web is a direct [[Shout-Out]] to the 60's animated spiderman opening credits.
