For those of you wondering how many superhero references were in Special Guest Villains: Sang Réal, there were a lot. I do hate explaining a joke, but I used a lot of them and know some may not be that well known.
1. The title itself is a reference to Batman, the 1960's series. Each episode introduced the bad guy as Special Guest Villain: (Actor's name) as (villain's name)
2. The setting Murphy and Krown are in references Batman as well. Some of the hideouts used were really four walls in a dark soundstage or something.
3. Krown's rant about henchmen is also reference to Batman where villains like Riddler, Joker and Penguin showed up with random goons and one girl they always seemed to be a relationship with. Often this woman would fall in love with Batman, saying he is so handsome. Guess it's the jaw and that pure grade A Adam West physique. But rarely did the villain have the same goon squad or girl in his following appearance. Catwoman almost always had an entire crew of male henchmen.
4. Krown asking if Slingshot Red was on an island and learned to use a slingshot is a reference to Arrow, based on the Green Arrow, which used to air on the CW.
5. The alien giving her a slingshot is a reference to Green Lantern
6. The old man giving her a slingshot is a reference to Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir (one of my D&D players is into the show.)
7. "She is the terror that flaps in the night" and the rant about Avery having a jet that looks like Red's head is a reference to Darkwing Duck. For you Ducktales fans, I could not figure out how to work "Blathering Blatherskite" into this as Red's powers are not machine based.
8. The alien sent to Earth to pose as a hero and then conquer the world is a refence to both Blue Beetle and the Reach and Invincible.
9. Being bitten by a radioactive anything of course is a reference to Spider-Man.
10. The Russian spies references Black Widow, which was a pretty good movie.
11. Feeding someone hair to give them superpowers is a reference to the anime My Hero Academia.
12. Slingshot Red having a super energy pill in a ring and the description of Slingshot Red after were all references to Underdog.
13. Slingshot Red taking Avery Wright in and training her references Robin from Batman, Birdboy from Birdman and Jan and Jace from Space Ghost, Wendy and Marvin of Super Friends any series really where a hero basically has a child or teenager help them thwart crime, but they usually end up captured. Sometimes, it is never explained why the superhero has these teenagers with them, they are just there.
14. Saying Red took Avery in so she would not become all dark and brooding is a reference to Young Justice, where Batman says the reason he took Robin in and trained him at a young age is so he would not end up like him.
15. Accusing Avery of being the Make-A-Wish Foundation kid with a retarded dog was another reference to Wendy and Marvin and Wonder Dog from the original Superfriends series. There is literally no reason these two should have been at the Hall of Justice and why they were there was never officially explained.
