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". Additionally, the title character, as depicted on the cover, bears a very strong resemblance to Iron Man. The cover of the adaptation of A Farewell to Arms shows the main character having lost his arms, which doesn't happen in the novel. CBG justifies the depiction as artistic license, and as a supporting example cites a storyline where Spider-Man fist bumps Barack Obama. In the review of Uncle Tom's Cabin in the Woods!, CBG cites "Simon Legree" as the worst villain name next to "Paste-Pot Pete", which was the original name of Trapster. Bartman: The Hero's Handbook There are many references to Marvel Comics and characters: In Designing the Right Costume for You! there is a character dressed like Batman with a Captain America-style shield and Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. In "Action Figure Fold-Ems", The Rock Collector is a parody of The Thing and American Pieman is a parody of Captain America. In "A Rogues' Gallery of Lesser-Known Villains": The Scorpion is based on Scorpion and The SuperintendANT's name and helmet are a reference to Ant-Man. In "Captain Fantastic's Incredible Superhero Supply Sanctuary": Kirby Krackle Cereal features Galactus on the box. The name is a reference to comic artist Jack Kirby. Liquid Adamantium and the Adamantium Blade Shaver use Adamantium. The Cosmic Cube Ice Tray is a reference to the Cosmic Cube. The Customizable Robot Double is a parody of a Life Model Decoy. "The 20 Types of Superheroes" has parodies of Wolverine, Captain America, Thor, Spider-Man, The Hulk, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange. In "Supervillain Mash-Ups I'd Like to See", characters include Galactus, Magneto, Doctor Doom, and Doctor Octopus. In "Marge Simpsons's Guide to the Superheroes We Need", The Handyman has Doctor Octopus arms.

Picture Game Reference The Simpsons: Tapped Out Chief Wiggum asks for something experimental like Tony Stark wishes he had. Comic Book Guy says: "This is infinitely worse than the Negative Zone Prison Alpha operated by S.H.I.E.L.D. I demand to see your Tony Stark!" Milhouse says "The kind of hate only found in Magnetos, Emperors Palpatine and little girls!" In Level 43, Comic Book Guy says: "It is not a plate. It is a replica Captain America shield." "I wish it was really made of Vibranium, since I doubt this cheap plastic will hold the massive portion I am about to load up." Akira says "Aw, it's like a bushy baby Groot. Baby Groot – heh heh – time for a branch cut." During Treehouse of Horror XXV, Dolph's Trick-Or-Treat costume is Venom. In the Superheroes update, Comic Book Guy, dressed as The Collector, mentions his Silver Surfer fanny pack. In the Wild West update Part 3, Homer goes to create an Iron Suit. Comic Book Guy says "Still others saw genius billionaire Tony Stark make his Iron Man suit and said: "That looks easy!" Fools.". In the Super Powers update, Kirk mentions a film Fallout Boy VII: Infinity Endings, which is a reference to the film Avengers: Infinity War.
