BLEEPING AWESOME!!11!ELEVENTY

Man, the references in this one. As much as I regret Our Glorious Host's decision to have, well, a life and not create detailed synopses I am not sure where to begin with all of the references.

And, sadly, I'm certain I noticed less then 10% of them. Can the good people here start a list of some references made in the show?

Where to start . . . I noticed the voice of The Whale's butler sounded just like Pete Postlewaith's "Mr. Kobayashi." There is an obscure one.

I loved that. SWING HEIL: Cubs blitz Mets in 7-0 holocaust.

According to one of the S4 commentaries they've been trying to get that in the show for a while but with Dean in tears, ala Freakin' Swing Kids style; SWING HEIL, HANK??

Ok, here's what I can remember off the top of my head-
Wide Whale is a reference to Tobias Whale, an enemy of the DC character Black Lightning
Warriana's armor only has a covering for 1 breast (which Brock alludes to under the influence of the truth lasso) and in myths, Amazons warriors would cut one breast off to improve fighting abilities (Warriana being based off of Wonder Woman)
Hank's outfit and moves when he ziplines to the aquatic girl are reminiscent of John McClane in Die Hard.

Plenty more but these are what come to mind right now.

Rusty's new jet is the Avenger's Quinjet. The J-bot lays down some Bot-Fu moves ala Sonny in "I, Robot". A bespoke suit recalls "Kingsmen" (although I'm not sure Rusty's bespoke speedsuit is bulletproof).

Oh, and Night Dick's fire-breathing motorcycle that can climb vertical walls is from Ghost Rider (another Marvel reference).

Hank's "used" jacket was worn by Steve McQueen in the movie "Le Mans" (but it appears Hank has had the Gulf Oil patch replaced by a Venture-Tech patch).
