Every week we’re getting something fun and refreshing, and even as we’re on Episode 8, there’s still plenty of surprises and that includes all the Easter eggs and materials. reference throughout the volume.
In the episode titled “Ribbit and Rip It,” She-Hulk finds herself representing a new client who very casually becomes a vigilante in a superpower suit – kinda. However, this put her on the radar of costume designer Luke Jacobson. Also, She-Hulk crosses paths with Matt Murdock (Daredevil) for the first time.
The Disney+ series also offers many in-depth cuts from random Marvel Comics storybooks, including very specific references to many of the characters’ first appearances. Below you’ll find 12 Easter eggs and references from Episode 8 of She-Hulk.

Leap-Frog
This is Leap-Frog, a product of the 80s. He first appeared in Marvel Team-Up #121 as a villain who fought Daredevil in his first appearance as a villain. is the antagonist. The man inside – and inventor of the Leap-Frog suit – Vincent Patilio, spent the following years as a failed supervillain, often losing to Daredevil. When Leap-Frog first went to court, he asked Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson to act as his attorney, and Foggy ended up representing him. Throughout the years, Leap-Frog was a D-List villain who never really accomplished anything.
Leap-Frog was created by JM DeMatteis and Kerry Gammill.
A departure from the comic
In the comics, Leap-Frog’s suit gives him the ability to jump using springs – very basic and Silver Age technology for a villain, even though he was made in the 80s. She-Hulk, Leap-Frog’s ability comes from the rocket on his leg.
Luke Jacobson
While Luke Jacobson’s character can be fun, once toying with She-Hulk as she tries to find the right outfit for her, he’s actually based on an already existing character. In the comics, Jacobson is a famous fashion designer.
Created by Martha Thomases and Tony Salmons, Jacobson first appeared in the very short-lived Dakota North comic. Yes, Dakota North. It’s a real Marvel comic.
Famous Marvel Lawyers
Listen, if you’re reading this, chances are you’re a fan of the MCU. You’ve probably watched the majority of movies and TV shows, and you’ve probably watched all of those Marvel Marvel series as well. But, it’s still important to point out that this gentleman, right here, is Matt Murdock – the real Daredevil. Once again, Charlie Cox takes on the role of lawyer – and a vigilante.
Old clothes
The new Daredevil suit is actually a throwback to the old Daredevil suit from the comics. In his first appearance in 1964, Daredevil wore a red outfit with yellow arms and legs and a yellow helmet.
She-Hulk’s Outfit
We finally have She-Hulk in a costume, but no, it’s not her first appearance – it’s just a torn white cloth. This is new but also pays homage to the color scheme and design of the suit she occasionally wears in Dan Slott’s comics.
Battle corridor!
If there’s one thing that we’ve come to know and love about Daredevil, it’s that he loves a good fight in the hallways. This fight here really feels like it pays homage to the original Daredevil fight from Season 1, Episode 2, where he was fighting the Russian mob. The only difference is that this scene has more cuts than the original fight on the Netflix series – a one-shot battle.
Leap-Frog’s lair
He has his own Leap-Frog cues, minions, and a sign declaring a particular area “For Frog Parking Only.”
Video game Leap-Frog
We briefly see two arcade games. There is the famous Frogger game and the fictional Leapfrogger game. We’ll never know how it plays because She-Hulk threw it.
Ripped from the comic
Remember earlier when we talked about Leap-Frog’s first trial and Foggy was his attorney? Well, during that trial, he got his spring shoes back, jumped out the window to escape the trial, and broke his leg. The same thing happens here, except that he hasn’t been tried yet.
Another twist
Jen mentions the change she thinks is coming and mentions the “Red Hulk”. There’s absolutely a Red Hulk, and there’s been a huge mystery surrounding what he was like in human form when the comics came out in 2008. We know it’s been 14 since it came out, but we’ll don’t spoil that mystery just in case you want to read that series, simply called Hulk. That was a lot of fun.
“Caught Fridged”
Jen also mentioned that she was “Fridged”. In the comics, Woman in the Refrigerator (WiR) is a term coined by comic book writer Gail Simone in 1999. It refers to an issue of Green Lantern in 1994 where Kyle Rayner’s girlfriend killed and put in the refrigerator. WiR refers to a woman being killed, injured, or otherwise debilitated to promote a male character or advance his storyline – rather than butchering these female characters and making them official. in one world. Women in comics become tools or better children than characters.
