Highlights
An unexpected Skyrim cameo in the animated show My Adventures With Superman reveals a reference to the Wabbajack.
The Wabbajack, a potent and capricious Daedric Artifact from the Elder Scrolls franchise, made its debut in 1996.
Including the Wabbajack in My Adventures With Superman serves as a clever Easter Egg for observant enthusiasts, highlighting the widespread recognition of Skyrim in popular culture.
In a recent episode of the animated show My Adventures With Superman, a keen-eyed viewer noticed a surprising cameo. The viewer spotted a hidden reference to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Wabbajack among a collection of formidable weapons. While it's not uncommon to discover Skyrim references in other video games, it's quite rare to come across nods to Bethesda’s acclaimed open-world RPG in a television show.
Skyrim’s Wabbajack stands out as one of the most extraordinary weapons within a game already teeming with powerful magical artifacts. It represents the latest version of this recurring item in The Elder Scrolls franchise. The Wabbajack made its debut in 1996’s The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall and remains a potent yet unpredictable Daedric Artifact. When directed at enemies, it unleashes random magical abilities, leaving players unaware of what to expect from the staff's infernal magic.
In a recent post on the r/skyrim subreddit, a user shared an intriguing screencap that showcased the widespread popularity of the Wabbajack. This powerful weapon from the realm of Tamriel has ventured into the realm of pop culture, as evidenced by its appearance in the animated show My Adventures With Superman. The image accompanying the post revealed the Wabbajack resting on the second shelf of a vast collection of weapons, blending in with its formidable counterparts. The unsuspected cameo of the Wabbajack in this superhero series brought amusement and surprise to the Redditors who engaged with the post.
Among the responses to the post, several Redditors swiftly pointed out an error in its title. The post had misidentified the Wabbajack as Skyrim's Staff of Sheogorath, a powerful Daedric Artifact. Once this case of mistaken identity was corrected, gamers eagerly took the opportunity to highlight the multitude of gaming and pop culture references present in the image. Besides Skyrim's Wabbajack, sharp-eyed viewers could identify the Sky Hook from BioShock Infinite positioned to the left, while the Dragonslayer blade from the manga Berserk hung just above it. The display also featured other notable weapons, such as the Scissorman's signature weapon from Clock Tower and Hellraiser's Lament Configuration.
The prominence of this subtle Skyrim reference showcases how the game has permeated popular culture beyond just the gaming community. Although it's improbable that viewers of My Adventures With Superman will witness the Last Son of Krypton engaging in combat with Skyrim's Daedric Prince of Madness in the near future, the incorporation of the Wabbajack in the superhero series serves as a delightful hidden gem for keen fans of the game.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is currently available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
