Marvel At The Construction Of Star Wars Land

Tut Tut Tut, looks like rain

This weekend, the weather app states that it should be raining throughout the weekend.

I took my chances on my usual Friday trip since the app mentioned it would only rain for a couple of hours in the morning.

Knowing that, I was in a race to beat any sort of rain. And so I was really just rushing through. Just snapping at what I thought would be important. And because I didn't want to get caught up in any down pour, I didn't venture through all the areas of the Resort.

Eventually, it did sprinkle here and there. No down pour or anything. Just enough to get the ground wet and slippery.

Could this be in reference to Hannibal King, a private investigator who was bitten by a Vampire.
Hannibal King (as a vampire) once teamed up with Spider Man when trying to obtain the Amulet of Damballah from Lilith Drake.

Nelson and Murdock is a law firm that was established from the money of Foggy Nelson's father after he and Matt Murdock (Daredevil) graduated.

OsCorp is a weapons manufacturer, much like Stark Enterprises
Founded by the Osborn family, Norman Osborn hired Spencer Smythe to build a giant robot to capture Spider Man in exchange for a hover chair for his crippled son,

Hammer Industires competed for the trust of the U.S. Government with Stark Enterprises.
Hammer industries attempted to replicate the Iron Man armor but failed in all areas. Hammer was jealous of Stark that he broke Ivan Vanko (who tried to kill Tartk at Circuit de Monaco) out of prison so that Vanko could improve on developing suits so that Hammer could upstage Stark at a Stark Expo.

Stark Industries, founded by Howard Star, began building planes to help the Allie Forces in World War II. Stark also assisted the Strategic Scientific Reserve fight against HYDRA. After Howard's death, ownership went to Tony. Once Tony was old enough to take over, Star Industries  became the world leader in development of manufacturing advanced weapons. Stark also branched out into other scientific fields such as aeronautic, robotics, micro-technology. After Tony returns home from being a captive, he stops making weapons and instead focuses on clean energy.

Johnny's Jazz Club references The Night Man
John Domingo, aka Johnny Domino was a successful saxophone player in the San Francisco Bay area.
One night, a freak accident involving a runaway cable car. The cable car was struck by the Jumpstart effect, an ultra creating burst of energy from the Entity on the Moon. As a result, Johnny and those aboard the cable car were transformed into Ultras

Johnny's ability is telepathy. Any kind of evil though, he can hear in his mind. A downside to that was that he couldn't hear any evil thought from sociopaths, mentally ill, or anyone who didn't feel shame or remorse on their evil thoughts.

A piece of shrapnel from the cable car accident lodged itself into Johnny's brain. The side effects were night vision, no sleep, and neural resistance. He became to be known as The Night Man.

The Night Man comics were originally published by Malibu Comics until it was purchased by Marvel Comics
