Title Card Issue Homage: Iron Man #128.
The mayor says, "I seem to remember, there was a guy who got incredible powers from being bitten by a radioactive bug." Wolverine replies, "Oh, come on. You made that up." Actually he DID make it up. The mayor is voiced by comic book legend Stan Lee. One of Stan's many creations is Spider-Man, a character who got powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. The mayor's line, "With great responsibility comes great power, and vice versa." is a reference to Uncle Ben's line, "With great power comes great responsibility" from the Spider-Man series, which Stan Lee (the voice of the mayor) created.
