Skyrim Easter Egg Spotted in My Adventures With Superman

Highlights

  • An unexpected Skyrim cameo in the animated show My Adventures With Superman reveals a reference to the Wabbajack.
  • The Wabbajack is a powerful and unpredictable Daedric Artifact in the Elder Scrolls franchise, making its first appearance in 1996.
  • The inclusion of the Wabbajack in My Adventures With Superman is a great Easter Egg for keen-eyed fans, showcasing Skyrim’s popularity in pop culture.

One especially attentive viewer of the animated show My Adventures With Superman noticed an unexpected cameo in a recent episode, spying a reference to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Wabbajack hidden in among a collection of powerful weapons. While it’s not unusual to find references to Skyrim hidden in other video games, it’s decidedly less common to see nods to Bethesda’s acclaimed open-world RPG included in a television show.

Standing out as one of the most unusual weapons available in a game already filled to the brim with powerful magical artifacts, Skyrim’s Wabbajack is the latest iteration of what has become a series staple for The Elder Scrolls franchise. Making its first appearance in 1996’s The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, the Wabbajack is a powerful but unpredictable Daedric Artifact that unleashes random magical abilities on enemies. With no ability to control its effects, players never know what to expect when training the staff’s infernal magic on their foes.

In a new post on the r/skyrim subreddit, one user shared a screencap showing how the Wabbajack’s popularity has led to its reach extending beyond the land of Tamriel and into the world of pop culture. In the picture provided with the post, the three-faced Wabbajack can be seen sitting on the second shelf of a massive weapon case in a scene from the animated show My Adventures With Superman. Easy to overlook at first glance due to how many other powerful weapons share space with it in the display case, the Wabbajack’s appearance in the superhero show came as an unexpected but amusing surprise to Redditors responding to the post.

Multiple Redditors were quick to point out an inaccuracy in the title of the post, which misidentified the powerful Daedric Artifact as Skyrim’s Staff of Sheogorath rather than the three-faced Wabbajack. With that case of mistaken identity resolved, gamers responding to the post set about pointing out the litany of other gaming and pop culture references on display in the shot. Just to the left of Skyrim’s Wabbajack, it’s possible to spot the Sky Hook from BioShock Infinite, while the Dragonslayer blade from the manga Berserk hangs directly above it. Other weapons on display include the Scissorman’s signature weapon from Clock Tower and Hellraiser’s Lament Configuration.

This blink-and-you-miss-it Skyrim reference is a great example of how the title’s popularity has transcended gaming and become part of pop culture. And while it’s unlikely that viewers of My Adventures With Superman will see the Last Son of Krypton doing battle with Skyrim’s Daedric Prince of Madness any time soon, the inclusion of the Wabbajack in the superhero show is still a great Easter Egg for eagle-eyed fans of the game.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim – Anniversary Edition is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
