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

17. Cap Vs Hitler

In Captain America, as Cap engages in his morale boosting tour to entertain the troops, the audience are treated to a set-up of one of the most famous Captain America moments, when the hero took down Hitler with a well-placed punch to the chops. That in itself is of course an Easter Egg, as it pays homage to the cover of Captain America Comics #1 from 1941, but the Avengers takes the Easter Egg a little further. After Coulson's death, Nick Fury uses his collector cards to inspire the Avengers to action, and when he tosses the bloodied cards onto the desk we get a brief glimpses of one of the cards, which is a recreation of that same cover, featuring the same Fuhrer punch.
