Comics[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and debuted in Amazing Fantasy #15, with Andy Yanchus colouring the comic. The quote about power and responsibility comes from this first story.

Spider-Man TV series[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The 1967 cartoon show can be recognised by the quoted line from its theme song. Technically, it isn't possible to tell in The Stockbridge Horror whether this is a cartoon with a song or if someone is warning him about the coming of the Spider-Man.
References to Doctor Who within Marvel[[edit] | [edit source]]
- A different Spider-Man, Miles Morales, referenced Doctor Who and used the phrase "timey-wimey stuff" to explain time travel to Thor in All-New, All-Different Avengers #6.
Films[[edit] | [edit source]]
- One idea for The Lazarus Experiment was a mad scientist working on developing invulnerable synthetic skin; it was dropped because Davies feared that this might be part of the plot of the movie Spider-Man 3, which was due for release around the same time that Greenhorn's episode would likely air.
