The Marvel Universe not only has an Infinity Gauntlet, it also has another cosmic piece of handwear called the Abundant Glove. Much like the Gauntlet, the Abundant Glove is composed of gems that attract one another. Unlike the Infinity Gems, the Abundant Gems are worthless individually. When they are assembled, they make the holder somewhat powerful. The gems are the embodiments or compassion, laughter, dance, respect, and dance. Yes, there are two Dance Gems.

Source: Wikipedia.

Satanus is a fictional Tyrannosaurus rex that appears as a recurring character in Judge Dredd and other series in 2000 AD.

He first appeared in The Cursed Earth epic set in the year 2100. After dying in the Cretaceous period his DNA had been found and he had been cloned for the Dinosaur National Park. Unfortunately the Atomic Wars set the creature loose.

A similar plot line to Dinosaur National Park was used 12 years later by Michael Chrichton on his novel Jurassic Park (1990).

Dick Grayson was once a male model who modeled the Nightwing costume. During this brief period he jumped off the catwalk to beat up a heckler up. That heckler was none other than Jason Todd. That's right, Dick Grayson once jumped his own brother in public while in costume.

It's unproven..but probably. .Starfox was suspected of using his power to seduce women and was put on trial for it once. he was defended by Jennifer Walters who realized that he did it to her so she turned into She-Hulk and kicked his ass. Then his father teleported him away

A guy dug up the Punishers family and pissed on them which honestly just seems like a bad idea on every conceivable level.

About the only idea I can think of being worse is to desecrate the bodies of Thomas & Martha Wayne, and that still might not be as dumb as intentionally antagonizing Frank Castle.

I know that Punisher story line and that guy deserved everything Frank did to him.

The same comic (New Guardians) introduced Extraño, one of the first openly gay superheroes, and essentially a more femme Dr. Strange. After a battle with Hemo-Goblin, an "AIDS vampire," Extraño is revealed to be HIV positive.

Batman watches Star Trek.

A man born with genetic disorder serious enough to essentially turn his arms into seal flippers went from a freak show start to the owner of the biggest, interdimensional, magic bar of the DC universe, and refused to give it back to a fairy tale knight who was a 70s rockstar wannabe earlier on his life.

The most dangerous head of the mafia on the Marvel universe became part of a suburban family of a single mother and his son and helped to raise the kid and save their finances, while moving using a plastic, electric toy car. I meant a literal head, btw.

In my Batman Begins Collectors Edition DVD there was a booklet with some older comic titles referring to plot points from the film (al Ghul, early training, etc).

One such story (The Man Who Falls) references by name the voice actor of Alfred from the 90s cartoon series.

Just like that, it's never mentioned and it always weirded me out. His name is spoken during an exchange between young Bruce and a recruiter from the FBI.

Trust me, young me sees the name Efrem Zimbalist Jr in a supposedly classic Batman title and it sits with me still to this day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite
Pink kryptoniteDebuted in Supergirl vol. 4 #79 (April 2003). Pink kryptonite seemingly turns Kryptonians gay. This type of kryptonite was mentioned in a single panel in a story that was a satire of the plots of many Silver Age comic stories (such as those listed above) which featured some strange new variety of kryptonite. In the Justice League Action short "True Colours" it switches a Kryptonian's gender.
