    The puns and wordplay on music and movies, they are rampant.
    Another one: Mustard Seed of Destruction - Symphony of Destruction

    We also changed the name for the Deadpool node from "Hold Me Closer Tiny Cancer". Changed it because it sounds really bad and possibly triggery for people that don't get the reference. And the people that *do* get the reference now have Elton John stuck in their heads. So you know... bad for everyone.

    My favorite was the Can't Won't Don't Stop Beastie boys reference in the Juggs heroic. Love finding these little easter eggs for the music fans.

    Yup. Definitely stuck in my head now. Thanks so much....

    There was a Sporcle quiz I did once that had you identify a song from the misheard lyrics. One of them -- for "Mysterious Ways" by U2 -- was "Shamu, the Mysterious Whale."

    I can neither unhear that now, nor fail to think of it when I fire off Deadpool's purpleflag.png. Except I'm usually too busy singing the name of that power to the tune of Motley Crue's "Girls Girls Girls".....

    "Crawling From the Wreckage" would make for an awesome ability name.

    There are dozens of Graham Parker (who wrote that) songs that would make awesome ability names... "They Murdered The Clown".... "Back Door Love"... "Heat Treatment".... "Soul On Ice".... "Big Man On Paper"....

    Enemy of the State is still my favorite event because of the Wu references.
