Also, on the cover, one of the characters calls out, "Little women, assemble!", a take on the "Avengers, assemble!" battle cry of [[The Avengers]].<br><br>The title of the comic ''[[The Invincible Man in the Iron Mask]]'' is a wordplay on ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' and [[Iron Man]], who is sometimes referred to as "The Invincible Iron Man".
