A future easter egg reference to Marvel comic book X-Men may be present in 1988 Konami arcade video game Super Contra. In the level 2 top down stage inside the enemy base, when obtaining the spreadgun powerup the character appears to have a giant 3 bladed claw (similar to a ninja shuko or tekko kage). I thought this similar to X-Men hero Wolverine. Connections: <br />- Actress Olivia Munn played ninja warrior Psylocke in 2016 movie X-Men: Apocalypse. Hugh Jackman played Wolverine for close to 25 years makes an appearance in this. <br />- Olivia Munn was later in 2018's The Predator. <br />- The cover art for the NES version of Konami's Contra is apparently based on stills from 1987 sci-fi action adventure film Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.<br />- Konami developed an X-Men Arcade game in 1989.<br />#contra #oliviamunn #supercontra #wolverine #xmen #predator #aliens #arnoldschwarzenegger #shuko #tekko #ninja
