The MCU has a very rich line in cameos, with some hugely talented actors - like Gary Sinise and Ving Rhames - dropping in for made-to-order small roles that give fans an immediate, short, sharp injection of fun. But there's also another type of cameo that runs throughout most comic book movies, including those under Kevin Feige's grand umbrella.

Those films tend to reserve space to pay homage to the creators of the comics they're based on, as well as actors who might have played their characters in earlier versions. They're never as easily spotted as the starrier cameo counterparts, but it's a great little trope.

And The Incredible Hulk has one of the most obscurely hidden. Right at the start of the movie, Ed Norton's Bruce Banner is flicking through TV channels, and stops briefly on a channel showing The Courtship Of Eddies Father, starring none other than TV's Incredible Hulk Bill Bixby.
