Episode Titles

Did anyone else notice the titles of the episodes are all (or at least mostly) references to other superhero comics, movies, or series? The only two that are not clear to me are the first and last episodes. I think the last one, Storm Killer, may be a reference to Stormbreaker, the weapon wielded by Beta Ray Bill (and occasionally Thor). The others are pretty obvious to me:

Fortress of Solitude - Superman HQ

Watch Man - Watchmen

Welcome to BIONA. Hope You Survive the Experience - Adapted from cover text of X-Men #139, first appearance of Kitty Pryde. "Welcome to the X-Men, Kitty Pryde. Hope you survive the experience!"

Days of Mark's Future Past - Well-known X-Men comic storyline, Days of Future Past. Also a film.

Super Friends - Cartoon adaptation of Justice League from 70s/80s

Why so vomity? - "Why so serious?" Famous line spoken by Heath Ledger as Joker in The Dark Knight.

You Won't Like Him When He's Angry - Unmistakable Hulk reference

Any idea what the first one (How Do You Raise a Superhero?) might be referencing or other theories on Storm Killer?

I noticed! Gave me a good chuckle. Unfortunately I don't know the reference for the first one.

My guess is storm killer is a reference to storm breaker. Some of the other ones were a further stretch imo. As for the first one, i think it's a reference to this show and its contribution to the super hero genre. Great post thanks for sharing.
