8) The Human Torch
Yes, we know, The Human Torch has already been in several Marvel movies already, but hear us out.
This entry actually refers to the other Marvel character who goes by Johnny Storm’s superhero title. A property of Marvel’s precursor, Timely Comics, The Human Torch was a heroic android named Jim Hammond who could create fire. Stan Lee later used the character’s name and gave it to the Fantastic Four star.
In 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, the original Human Torch (sort of) made his way to the screen. In Howard Stark’s expo which Bucky and Steve visit at the start of the film, the character can be seen in a display case.
This is presumably a reference to how Captain America also derives from Timely Comics, but it also could be a nod to how Chris Evans played the other Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. Either way, it’s definitely a cool little Easter Egg.
