The Marvel comic Fantastic Four is referenced a few times in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. In 1.03 The Witch, Xander says about Amber’s burning hands:
“Like the Human Torch, only it hurts.”
This is a reference to Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, a character in the Fantastic Four.
In the Angel episode 1.03 In The Dark, Cordelia says:
“It’s daylight, you’re ringless, and unless you changing the act to Human Torch, I don’t think so”.
In 7.01 Lessons, Willow’s Wicca teacher is named Miss Harkness. There was a witch named Miss Harkness in the Fantastic Four.
In 7.10 Bring On The Night, Andrew mentions the supervillain Dr. Doom from the comic.

I have the unaired pilot for both Buffy and Angel on my PC, but they are too big to send by e-mail.
If you have MSN messenger, I can send it that way - just let me know.
