Michael Jackson once tried to buy Marvel Comics during the early 90s, just so he could play Spider-Man in a movie.

Deadpool once killed Peter Parker, not knowing he was Spider-Man.

There's a character called Squirrel Girl, who is so powerful she once defeated Thanos.

There was once a clone of Squirrel Girl and Deadpool combined. The pair stepped into a cloning machine believing it to be a teleporter, and it created a clone with Deadpool's healing factors and SG's incredible powers, who now thinks it's their daughter so they have to take turns babysitting it.

Wakanda's official language is a variant of Xhosa, which is spoken in Zimbabwe and South Africa, which are locations close to where Wakanda is situated in the comics.
