Captain America (vol. 1) #163 (July 1973): "Beware of Serpents!", page 4, panel 1:
Captain America (to Peggy Carter): "...it was hard in the early years. There were times I felt like a European of Columbus' time, suddenly discovering there was an entire other sie-- to a world I knew for certain was flat!"
Fantastic Four: What Lies Between (2007), page 10:
"...We don't want to be standing between individuals and their drive to discover, for whatever reason. The New World wasn't uncovered in a burst of scientific curiosity or in the spirit of adventure. They were looking for trade routes, for commercial benefit. Commerce and exploration have always gone hand in hand."
Note: Susan Storm references Columbus' discovery of the Americas.
