Trivia[]
- This episodes made a few references to the Marvel hero Spider-Man.
- This entire episode is what is called a grandfather paradox. When Andros killed Tony in this episode, it would make him never born. But since he would never be born, there would be no one to kill Tony in the past, so Andros would still be alive. These kinds of things go unexplained in television often to suit the needs of the writers.
- Originally Nicktoons stated "Iron Man 2099" will air before "Ctrl-Alt-Delete", but "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" aired first on March 28, 2012. "Iron Man 2099" did not broadcast until Summer 2012 after the Avengers live action movie was released in theaters.[37] Despite that, the episode was published on Nicktoons website instead of the next episode.
- Hawkeye and Black Widow team back up though on the hero side instead of as thieves as originally introduced.
- Spider-Man is specifically confirmed to exist in this reality by a Maggia soldier when Hawkeye uses a net arrow who mistakes Hawkeye's net for Spider-Man's webbing. Hawkeye introduces himself as the "Friendly Neighborhood Hawkeye" to them. Black Widow uses the famous Spider-Man line (usually to Doc Ock) "Spiders AREN'T insects". Spider-Man does not appear on-screen.
- Nicktoons officially stated "Iron Man 2099" would have its TV premiere broadcast on June 6, 2012.
