One of the chapters of My Hero Academia manga has showcased some of the most popular heroes from the DC and Marvel universe. While they are not called on their names, the silhouettes of heroes look exactly the same as Superman, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and More.

Apart from this, it seems that the spin of the series, My Hero Academia Vigilantes, seems to be referenced to Spider-Man. The main protagonist of the series in Boku no Hero Academia Vigilantes is Koichi Haimawari, which has a costume almost similar to Spider-Man.

My Hero Academia is part of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine by Shueisha. Right now, the manga is currently at Paranormal Liberation War Arc where the heroes are having a head-to-head match against the villains.
