Creature Commandos is an animated superhero series based on the monster team from DC Comics. It's the first show in the DC Universe. The series features Amanda Waller and General Rick Flag Sr., who lead a gigantic black ops force.
James Gunn directed all seven episodes of the show, which stars Indira Varma, Sean Gunn, Alan Tudyk, Zoë Chao, David Harbour, and Frank Grillo. It debuted on Max on December 5, 2024.
"A Very Funny Monster," episode 7 of Creature Commandos season 1, contains a lot of humorous references and cameos. In addition to learning more about Nina's origins, there is a reference to Marvel. The possibility of Eric Frankenstein returning in later episodes is even hinted at in a post-credits scene.
More about references and cameos in Creature Commandos season 1 episode 7
Creature Commandos season 1, episode 7, titled "A Very Funny Monster," is packed with fascinating Easter eggs, connections to the larger DC Universe, and even a tribute to Marvel. One amusing moment occurs when the Bride refers to Doctor Phosphorus as "Ghost Rider."
This is a subtle nod to Marvel's skeleton, fiery antihero, creating a fun crossover between the two comic realms. It's a humorous approach to acknowledge the larger comic universe while maintaining the show's playful tone.
Additionally, the episode provides additional context for Nina's backstory. Her father, Edward Mazursky, is still shown as a scientist attempting to treat her lung condition, despite the fact that her origin narrative deviates slightly from the comics. Nina is adopted by her father, Myron, who changes her into the amphibious figure in the original comics.
The show also pays homage to renowned DC locations such as Star City (home of Green Arrow), Blüdhaven (Nightwing's city), and Metropolis (home of Superman). These references assist to enhance the world of Creature Commandos and hint to the prospect of seeing these people or locales in future episodes, connecting the program to the greater DC Universe.
In the episode, Task Force M also gains new recruits. Nosferata, a vampire with a lengthy comic book history, is added, giving a supernatural element to the team.
King Shark also returns, cementing his status in the organization and establishing his ties to The Suicide Squad. The possibility of Eric Frankenstein returning in later seasons is left open when a post-credits sequence finally reveals that he survived his injuries.
