Bendis' homages game! Can you find them?

These are just things I've noticed, but many of his minor (and sometimes not so minor) characters are named after real life actors/directors/artists/writers/etc...

Sgt DeFalco (USM) = Tom Defalco?
Agent Woo (USM) = John Woo?
Mr. Dini (USM) = Paul Dini?
Agent Del Toro (DD) = Benicio Del Toro?

And I can't think of any other's right now, but I know there are more.

Agent Brtick?
Agent Kraken?
Mr. Lannin?

I'm pretty sure there was an Agent Woo in the Steranko issues of Shield.

Johnny Stompando, Det. Mack, Ron Thibedau


Pretty much most of em are I think, which is always fun. Just a couple of issues ago in POWERS he used like six different creator names.

[Fizz]

Yeah, he's used a lot of comic writers names in recent issues of Powers.

In Powers v2 #7, a talk show host is interviewing Geoffrey Johns of the law firm Johns, Winnick, Brubaker, and Meltzer. Later in the issue we see two officers named Hine and Kirkman.

Agent Brtick?
Agent Kraken?

Gimme equivilants! Who are they irl?

[Angel of Distraction]

I remember being on the benbo shown in one of the comics. Maybe Wha-huh?

[AAlgar]

Yeah, Bendis is a phenomenal comic book writer, but he sucks bigtime at thinking up character names. Sometimes it actually takes me out of the story, it's so bad.

Has there ever been like an Agent Whedon or something like that? Just curious since I watched recently for the first time ever a few weeks back the first episode of Firefly where there was a Private Bendis who got killed in the opening scene/battle.

HA! That's right. In the first 5 minutes of the pilot.
