Marvel referencing Prince

Once again, the superheroes of Marvel Comics are referencing Prince, this time in new issues of Guardians Of The Galaxy & Spider-Man:

In Guardians, Star-Lord is fixing and unspooled cassette tape and is happy it wasn't a Prince tape that is damaged.

In Spider-Man, Spidey compares himself to Prince... in pockets only.

Awesome! The Guardians of the Galaxy movie also referenced Prince very slightly when John C Reilly called Chris Pratt star prince instead of Star-Lord. Even though her last name was Prince in the Wonder Woman TV show I feel like they also gave him a shout-out in the Wonder Woman movie as well.

There was another reference in a Spider-Man comic in the last few years that I posted as well. Can't find it with the custom search, too lazy to sift through all the threads about the movies...

Plus, about a decade back there was an issue of Spider-Man that was subtitled, "Sometimes It Snows In April", and, when the Black Panther married the X-Men's Storm, Prince was hired to play the wedding.

Yes, I just passed (or failed?) the comic-geek test. wink lol

DC likes to play, too. From the cover of Batman & Robin #6:

Thank you!! This is the same one I posted, guess it was more recent than I thought, don't know why I couldn't find it with the search function, but, thanks to you it doesn't matter.

As for the Black Panther comic, Prince isn't shown, he's mentioned. Another character (She-Hulk maybe?) comments on how cool it is that T'Challa & Storm got Prince to play for their wedding. IIRC, the issue was written by a bigwig at BET that happened to be a Prince fan.

Maybe the Wonder Woman reference is but the Guardians of the Galaxy one is pretty spelled out.
Stop crapping on the fun.
