Some versions do try to tell a more complex story, like The Boys and Invincible. My Hero Academia is also there as an anime

Doesn't Invincible literally work with and for a secret government military organization?

Season 3 spoilers:

Tap for spoilerMark realizes Cecil is using them and nearly kills him, leaving Pentagon. There’s an epic episode showing Cecil’s past

Yeah I haven't actually seen season three yet, but I have read all the comics and I got to tell you he keeps working with them.

Only at first, when he was naive.

thenThe shadowy organization betrayed him because hes not fully has many, and invincible basically starts fighting them while still fighting the impotent bad guys.

I like One Punch Man. While he is a hero. The fact that he does it for fun and is frustrated at being so powerful makes it really stand out.

I love OPM, however I think it’s more about shonen anime stereotypes rather than western superhero stereotypes

Saitama is hilarious in the driest way possible, which is a humor that not everyone can appreciate

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The pilot episode where he meets a crazed villain who loses his shit when Saitama tells him 'I am a hero for fun', and goes on a rant on what a stupid backstory that is... before he gets blown to bits with one single punch.

The running joke of him always losing at video games because he just does the same move again and again.

His entire relationship with Genos
