(#4) Stephen Strange Was Known As A Threat Years Before His Solo Film
This one's a bit puzzling, since at this point in the MCU Stephen Strange is just a stuck-up genius surgeon. However, he is an incredibly intelligent stick-up surgeon who still might be considered a government-level threat. From Redditor /u/JustSomeDude049:

In the Avengers (2012), Iron Man is sucked into the turbine rotors during repairs for the SHIELD helicarrier and his suit is damaged. Later, in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014), SHIELD helicarriers feature new rotor-less turbines designed by Stark so that this wouldn't happen again.

(#12) An Unusual Line From The EMT Is What Tips Cap Off

(#15) They Included A Shot Of Watergate For A Not-So-Obvious Implication
