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

19. Raza

In the first Iron Man, the leader of that terrorist group who take Tony Stark was played by Faran Tahir and called Raza, a name familiar with those comic book afficianados with good knowledge of Iron Man lore. The name is clearly a reference to the namesake cyborg from space pirate group the Starjammers, which is confirmed by the configuration of the movie Raza's facial scarring, which Stark inflicts during his escape. Those markings are very reminiscent of the metal plate on the side of the cyborg Raza's face, and you have to suspect the two are linked.
