Under 2002 Spider-Man händer följande utbyte:

J. Jonah Jameson: [describing a headline] "Spider-Man, Hero or Menace? Exclusive Daily Bugle Photos".

Peter Parker: Menace? He was protecting that armored truck...

J. Jonah Jameson: Tell you what Atticus, you take the pictures, I'll make up the headlines! Ok? Is that ok with you?

Peter Parker: Yes sir.

J. Jonah Jameson: Goody.

Han hänvisar till Atticus Finch från "To Kill a Mockingbird." I den historien var Atticus Finch en advokat som försiktigt försvarade en svart man som alla i staden trodde var skyldiga. Jameson kallar Peter det på grund av Peters brådska för att försvara Spider Man.

Det är en hänvisning till Romerska :

Quintus Caecilius Pomponianus (born Titus Pomponius; c. November 110 – 31 March 32 BC),1 better known by his cognomen Atticus, was a celebrated editor, banker, and patron of letters from an old but not strictly noble Roman family of the equestrian class and the gens Pomponia. He is best remembered as the closest friend of orator and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero as well as other leading contemporaries of upper class Roman society. Cicero's treatise on friendship, De Amicitia was dedicated to him. Their correspondence, often written in subtle code to disguise their political observations, is preserved in Epistulae ad Atticum compiled by Cicero's freedman and personal secretary, Marcus Tullius Tiro. Atticus was known for his elegant taste, sound judgment and financial acumen.

JJ säger Parker är en sycophant för Spider-Man. En fan pojke. En brunnoser. Som Atticus var till Cicero.
