Allusions

 * The Sandman's real name is William Baker, but he has also gone by the alias Flint Marko. The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko and first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man, Volume 1 #4, cover-dated September, 1963.


 * Iceman paraphrases the popular expression, "Revenge is a dish best served cold". The expression suggests that revenge is more satisfying if enacted when unexpected or long feared, inverting traditional civilized revulsion toward "cold-blooded" violence.


 * Many of the costumes featured at the costume party are those of known Marvel Comics characters. These include The Thing, Captain America, Black Panther (Stan's costume shop store-front), Iron Man, Elektra, Doctor Doom, Firebird, Daredevil, Dazzler, Doctor Strange (Inside the costume store), and Thor (at the party).
