Kohei Horikoshi’s passion for Marvel Comics and DC Comics is hardly a secret, as is by daylight some of the protagonists of My hero academy are inspired by the infinite narrative universe of the House of Ideas.
Not long ago we revealed the Star Wars Easter Eggs in My Hero Academia. However, Horikoshi’s work is even more connected to the Marvel world. On the other hand, the secret of My Hero Academia’s success lies precisely in theCombine Japanese manga with US comics.
The most striking example is Twice, an obvious one Reference to the irreverent Deadpool. Horikoshi’s character is not only aesthetically similar to Marvel’s character, but he also shares a similar character in that they both suffer from personality disorders. By the way, did you know that Deadpool faced All Might in an official Marvel manga?
Instinct and animal aspect and superhuman intelligence. Let’s not talk about it Beast of the X-Men, but by Jurota Shishida of Class 1-B. Like the Marvel character, the Yuei’s apprentice is an individual who makes the best of both races.
Spiderman is one of the classic and beloved heroes of Marvel Comics. There is no spider hero in My Hero Academia, but Tsuyu Asui is similar to him in every way. Like Peter Parker possesses the power of a spider, Froppy possesses that of a frog. But that’s not the only aspect that connects the two characters. Tsuyu-chan’s signature pose, crouching with his arms between his legs, is a clear homage to Spider-Man.
David and Melissa Shield refer back tosecret service SHIELD, an organization that protects the Marvel world in the shadows. Among the members of this group are skilled spies and assassins, but also brilliant scientists, just like the two protagonists of the film My Hero Academia: Two Heroes.
Other characters reminiscent of Marvel are Excerpt from My Hero Academia: Heroes Risingwho is almost identical to Medusa, and Aoyama whose power is very similar to Cyclops.
Eventually we find others two obvious quotes about the House of Ideas. When Izuku turns to Mei, the genius of the support section, she presents him with power armor reminiscent of the original Iron Man.All Might isn’t Katsuki Bakugo’s only favorite hero. As you can see from the tweet below, Kacchan wears a t-shirt engraved with a logo very similar to The Punisher’s. And you’ve noticed a few others easter egg?
wait, is bakugo’s shirt supposed to be a play on the punisher design? pic.twitter.com/lQNJbnb0pN
