The INDISPUTABLE "Superhero to Manga" Character List

Goku= Superman: 'Nuff said

L Lawlet= Batman

L is the world's greatest detective, Batman is the world's greatest detective. L has a butler, Batman has a butler. Both live in secrecy. Both have apprentices, Mello and Near for L and four Robin's for Batman.

Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts= Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family:

If you think about it, this fits a LOT more than Wonder Woman for Sailor Moon. Especially if you take the magical aspect, transformation, and the fact there's a GROUP of them which fits with the Marvel Family and the Lieutenant Marvels from the Golden Age which gave the Marvel Family 6 members total.

Naruto Uzumaki= The Hulk:

Really when you boil things down this fits amazingly well, what with Naruto's rough childhood, the vast majority of the people around him thinking he's a monster, the fact he actually DOES Hulk-out, Yami Naruto is obviously Devil Hulk, and since Naruto now has control over Nine Tails makes the connection even better as he is now like Professor Hulk, and in fact Menma Namikaze from the Road to Ninja movie could be viewed as a version of Maestro.

Ichigo Kuroaki= Thor:

Both are considered powerhouses in their respective universes, both have signature weapons which most of their power comes from, both have a mortal form and constantly travel between fantastical realms and Earth, both are hybrids with Thor being part Elder God and Ichigo part Quincy, and both have been trapped on Earth for a time such as Thor in the form of Donald Blake and Ichigo after he lost his powers for the second time. Also Ichigo's Hollow Form basically serves the same function as Thor's Warrior's Madness

Inuyasha= Wolverine:

Do I REALLY need to explain this one?

Kotetsu T. Kaburagi AKA Wild Tiger= Iron Man

Wears armor, had a company, both are superheroes, neither pay MUCH attention to property damage which is what actually cost Wild Tiger his company due to having to PAY for all the damage he caused fighting crime, and both have beards,

Vash the Stampede= Spider-Man:

Again, do I REALLY need to explain this one? If you've EVER seen Trigun this makes so much sense it's scary!!

Manga *shiver* No no, no no.

@cr4psnip3r: Problem?

@smart_dork_dude: Ignore him, some people unjustly hate manga on this site.

No to all of them and I like manga a lot.

Care to explain? Keep in mind this is pretty much a superhero to manga/anime character equivalent list

@smart_dork_dude: Like the Vash, not sure about Wolverine. Interesting list.

@the_stegman: I wonder why... is there really any good reason

@smart_dork_dude: give me the trigun one I really cant tell how that fits

@lifeofvibe:

Vash displays throughout both the manga and the anime two very distinct personalities. Initially, Vash usually exaggerates foolish characteristics to make people feel unthreatened and to hide his identity, as well as using these outrageous actions and chronic kindness as a way to mask his own pain (as noticed by Millie). He exhibits an almost obsessive love of doughnuts, engages in lecherous behavior, plays games with the local children and aids and befriends the adults, as well as making the occasional bizarre joke or quip.For example, upon meeting Wolfwood, he introduced himself as "Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumbigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andres Charton-Haymoss Ivanovicci Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III". He frequently voices the catchphrase, "This world is made of love and peace," which is usually complemented by his flashing of the Peace sign, much to the confusion of friends and acquaintances and the chagrin of his enemies.

Vash's other side is an utterly tormented and lonely being, and is rarely shown when he is in the company of others. Due to his long life and legendary (and infamous) reputation, Vash has lost both a great many friends and his only family. In several instances people he trusted have either betrayed him or been killed for simply knowing him. For the 20 years between the loss of July and the revocation of his bounty he was a hunted man and frequently had to hide his identity and fend off waves of persistent bounty hunters. Thus, he is often prone to brooding and depression whilst alone or engaging in deep introspective thought.

In other words he's a hero everyone hates, a wise cracker, but a troubled character that's had a lot of pain in his life. Word's you could easily use to describe Spider-Man

Agreed on every choice here brah.

@smart_dork_dude: oh I see thanks

hmmm, I don't see Goku being like Superman.

Goku is about becoming stronger and never giving up. Superman is about being and staying a hero and setting a example of what people and heroes should be like.

Both save the day and are seen as the go to guy if something goes wrong in their own universes.

Some of these comparisons are horribly inaccurate. Inuyasha is nothing like Wolverine.

@blackwind:

Inuyasha has a lot in common with Logan in terms of history and power-set. Claws, healing factor, enhanced senses, is 200 years old whereas Logan is around 160 I think, tragic childhood, Kikyo is basically Mariko, both are grouches and loners who eventually warm up to the idea of teamwork, both have berserker rages, and let's not forget hanyou's basically serve as mutants in the Inuyasha world.

If that's not enough, let's compare the two shall we? Here's some of Inuyasha in action

And some of Logan in action

I defy you to tell me there aren't great similarities.

@smart_dork_dude: lol Gut = Wolverine

@smart_dork_dude: haha I like the Naruto and Ichigo one, Hulk and Thor. Like their counterpart, fanboys have going at this for YEARS, Naruto vs Ichigo and Thor vs Hulk. It's a classic

Ha! Lol.

@thereptile: Superman never gives up either.

@smart_dork_dude: I still say that they aren't that similar. You could make those very same connections with plenty of other characters

Claws? Any character in fiction can have claws. Wolverine's claws are artificially inhanced with a nigh unbreakable metal. Inuyasha's are not.

The healing factors are again, something anyone could have. Not to mention Wolverine's is far more.efficient. Inuyasha's actual age is debatable and the movies aren't even canon.

And no, half demons aren't anything like mutants. And don't even try to claim they are both lersecuted because again, that could happen to any minority. All those similarities are incredibly shallow.

Their motivations and lives aren't that similar aside from some nitpicks.
