Hey guys, so I got all riled up and hyped by My Hero Academia and now I lust for more "Super Hero School" genre

I already rewatched Sky High (yes) and now I'm reading pic related but that's still now enough.

Is there more good /co/ material on that matter? I remember seeing something called Gotham Academy on here a while ago, is it good?

>inb4 X Men
Not really superheroes and they barely do any fun school shenanigans. Plus, I just don't really like X-Men's themes and ideas

But you like My Hero Academia? Gotham Academy is pretty good, but it's not as strictly "a school for superheroes" as the other things you've mentioned. There's a gag comic called Supermutant Magic Academy in a setting like that.

I meant the whole racism allegory, terrorism, "world fears them because it doesn't understands them" stuff.

Gotham Academy is more in the Harry Potter vein, but it's still a great series. Would recommend.

Not OP, but I've got to say MHA has a significantly different take on superhumans than X-men. It's honestly more like House of M where mutants are celebrities in society than regular X-men where all humans have some kind of bacteria in there brain that makes them want to kill all mutants.

Consider Sidekicks.
By sometimes-backup artist for Ms.Marvel, Takeshi Miyazawa (Spider-Man <3 Mary Jane)
and written by C.J. Cebulski.

Thanks, I'll defently check it out, it's surprising that there is apperantly not as much of this genre as I thought there is, strangely. I mean It seems like the most obvious and marketable thing ever.

Avengers Academy?

>>84375544
Avengers Academy, quit at arena and consider all things following noncanon.

Teen Titans is about teenage superheroes but the quality fluctuates wildly.

a JSA run by, Johns...I think? Anyways there's a JSA run about an older generation teaching a younger generation of superheroes.

Avengers Initiative was decent when it wasn't being dragged down by Civil War

That's more like a boot camp than a "school".

not that guy but Boku No Hero Academia doesn't overlap much with X-men. Quirk Users never pretend to be anything other than humans. Sometimes freakishly mutated humans, but humans. X-men pushes a bluntly dated notion of "homo superior" on top of that Academia takes place after a variety of crises have caused a significant drop in global population and political shifts. Thirdly and finally there's no clumsy attempt to present quirk users as an oppressed minority. Our Protagonist, Deku, is a quirkless freak. Part of why he's so depressed at the start is he doesn't even have a useless power like a lot of kids get. 90% of the global population have 'quirks' that is physical mutations or powers, often both.

very different world than the typical x-book.

you're confusing Academy with Initiative.
