20 Brilliantly Obscure Marvel Movie Easter Eggs You Didn't Notice

13. The Human Torch

A few actors have now appeared in more than one comic book movie, and while we're all sort of encouraged not to think about Ben Affleck playing Daredevil and Batman, or James Marsden appearing on both sides of the Marvel/DC divide, Marvel are more open about Chris Evans' association with two of their movies. In a nod both to a famous Marvel character and to Evans' association with former Marvel films, Captain America features a clever reference to the original Human Torch (the first Marvel superhero, officially.) The original Human Torch wasn't the flaming, strutting youngster of the Fantastic Four, but an android, who was housed in a glass case, just as he was in his Easter Egg appearance in Captain America, that only the most committed of comic fans would have noticed in the World's Fair sequence.
