First Avenger Captain America Easter Eggs Thread *Spoilers*

[Anubis]

I don't know, could all be one in the same. No need for a sterile environment during torture, or just trying to see if you could graft a cybernetic arm on a guy without immediately killing him.

 

[TheVileOne]

I can only assume the bit with Stark's introduction is a reference to the flying cars in the Marvel Universe that Fury and SHIELD agents frequently use.

 

[HighFivingMF]

The old woman with the gun in the shop is directly from the comics

Except wasn't she Peggy in the comics or something?

 

[The Caped Knight]

Except wasn't she Peggy in the comics or something?

Yeah.

 

[roach]

Yeah.

X-13 was what she was called in the original comics

 

[goh78]

I thought The way Cap found Bucky strapped to that table and the state he was in was major foreshadowing for the Winter Soldier.

Definitely, as well as him welding the shield for a brief bit; and being a soldier who "dies" in the snow i.e. Winter - could be some cool things afoot.

 

[BizarroAids]

X-13 was what she was called in the original comics

Wasn't she first introduced somewhere between issues 30-40?? I'm trying to think off the top of my head which exact issue, but I know it was in those early Stan Lee runs.

In the original comics(1942) they show the old lady with a gun who removes the mask and they say she is there best agent codenamed X-13.....i believe it wasnt until the revival in the Marvel Age where she was developed further

 

[DyeLorean]

Also the weapons used by Hydra have the same sound effect as Iron Man's repulsors. Considering Howard finds the tesserect, that must also somehow tie to the ARC reactor.

Yay, I thought I was the only one that noticed that!
Just came back from the cinema

 

[DyeLorean]

Probably not a direct easter egg, but Rogers jumping from taxi cab to taxi cab reminded me of The Phantom movie (with Billy Zane), which also happens to be set in the 1940s.

 

[Mysteryman]

Another foreshadowing bit for The Winter Soldier was Bucky using his sniper rifle to save Steves life .

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

I never noticed the original Human Torch scene. I'll have to go back to the cinema again...

 

[Dark Raven]

I saw the Torch scene but at the time couldn't quite place who he was. I would've liked to have seen Dr Phineas Horton mentioned or even appearing in person.

Another "Easter Egg" I would've liked would've been some actual Nazis with swastikas, and a swastika flag. That was sadly missing from the movie.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Lol, I think a lot of people msised the Torch scene or saw the suit, but forgot who it was. When I saw the suit, I kept thinknig "Who was that? It's on the tip of my toungue."

 

[Dark Raven]

^ He did look vaguely familiar but at that point I had a mental block while watching the movie, because I wasn't expecting to see him at all.

 

[ironmaidenrules]

i may be reaching here, but when steve says "maybe she has a sister" to bucky after peggy rejects him, that may be a nod to sharon.

it is my understanding that in the old comics sharon was peggy's kid sister and later on became her niece due to the sliding timeframe.

**PLEASE NOTE THIS THREAD CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**

Here are the ones I found. Let me know if I missed any. I divided them up by franchise to make it easier.

Iron Man
-Howard Stark helped created the tech to create him and was directly involved in much operational planning and even missions
-Stark Industries responsible for most of the tech in the film
-Rogers attends a Stark Expo
-Shield made of Vibranium- what Tony is able to reproduce with his fathers clues in IM2
-Howard Stark finds the lost Tesseract at the end

Thor
-Tesseract a weapon left on earth by Odin during his battle with the Frost Giants in 965 AD in Norway (as shown in Thor)
-Yggdrasil wall art hides the Tesseract
-Asgardians were the "Gods" referenced throughout the film
-When the Tesseract reveals its true powers to Red Skull (before consuming him) the heavens are shown much like in Thor

Hulk
-Red Skulls deformed appearance is explained by his body's rejection of the serum because he was not worthy. It also drives him even madder. This is exactly what happens to Blonsky/Abomination in The Incredible Hulk.
-Super Soldier Serum is administered in a very similar way as it is to Blonsky in Hulk.

SHIELD
-Set up elaborate attempt to confuse Steve Rogers that it's still the 1940s in order to ease him into the present.
-Nick Fury appears at the end to tell him the truth.

General
-Stan Lee cameoed as a military officer at a Medal of Valor presentation for Steve, that he decides not to attend in order to keep fighting.
-Arnim Zola is first introduced as a giant distorted face on a screen
-Red Skull mentions that "the Fuhrer is too busy digging for trinkets in the desert" to look for a much more powerful item like the Tesseract. A direct reference to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (which Johnston worked on- and borrowed from heavily in this film)
-Red Skull's death at the hands of the Tesseract was very similar to how the Lost Ark killed the Nazis in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

I dispute this, to me it look like he was transported like the effect was really close to the Bifröst effects in Thor

 

[herolee10]

During the scene where Dr. Erskine was telling Steve about the Red Skull's history, at the shot of seeing the Red Skull marching with the banner behind him, and several shots of him marching behind him as well...it reminded me of Hugo's Mr. Smith's days.lol

 

[Troy_Parker]

Red Skull didn't die... did he? I thought he got transported to another dimension. The effect they used was pretty much bang on like the transportation effect in Thor.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Another thing, anyone notice how the "charging" noise for the HYDRA guns and whatnot sounded exactly like Iron Man's repulsors?

 

[Ipodman]

Hugo Weaving gets killed by a cube in both Captain America and Transformers

 

[Mysteryman]

The insignia on caps shirt when he wakes up in the present is the same as the insignia for steves unform in The Super Soldier miniseries as well as the Secret Avengers .

 

[captainrogers]

Might be reading into it too much, but the surveillance camera in the Hydra POW factory looks a bit like RoboZola's head-gear.

 

[Master Caster]

People keep suggesting that Tony Stark developed 'vibranium' as the new element in IM2. I still argue that the new element was in fact the same power that the Tesseract (Cosmic Cube) generates. Vibranium is a mineral. How would it power Iron Man's armor? That never made sense to me. Now with Howard Stark finding the Cube in CA:TFA I am even more convinced that he spent time studying the power of the Cube but didn't have the knowledge and the tech to fully exploit it. So he films the message for his young son Tony to discover when he is older (as seen in IM2) and Tony figures out how to properly harness the same energy source that the Red Skull and Armin Zola used to power their weapons in CA:TFA.

I also think the Skull never really fully understood the capabitlies of the Cosmic Cube. He never actually held it in his hand until the showdown inside the cockpit of the Valkyrie bomber. Once he did he saw that the Cube was far more than a mere energy source. Heres hoping he returns in future movies in a major way.

Horton's name was right above the case with the Human Torch outfit.
