A piece of fan art imagines a world where My Hero Academia's Izuku "Deku" Midoriya is bitten by the radioactive arachnid from Spider-Man.The sketch depicts Deku donning the signature super-suit of the Queens-born web-slinger. His mask has been removed to reveal a pair of glowing eyes, suggesting he still possesses One For All, despite his costume change. The row of piercings on his ear gives the impression of a more mature and confident hero that can match Peter Parker's witty remarks with his own.
This isn't the only My Hero Academia and Spider-Man crossover from the artist, as she also shared an accompanying illustration depicting Deku's classmate Katsuki Bakugo covered in the black symbiote from Venom.
If great power comes with great responsibility, none may be more deserving of taking up Spider-Man's mantle than Izuku "Deku" Midoriya. Deku is a boy who grows up wishing to become a hero, only to be disheartened when he realizes he was one of the few people in the world born without inherent superpowers. His dream seems impossible to reach until he meets his idol, All-Might, and is offered a chance to become his successor. Inheriting All-Might's quirk, One For All, Deku then steps foot into the world of heroes and villains.
My Hero Academia began as a manga series written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and an anime adaptation produced by studio Bones (The Case Study of Vanitas, Blood Blockade Battlefront) began airing in Japan in 2016. A trailer for the show's upcoming Season 6 gave a sneak peek into the "Paranormal Liberation War" arc, which will cover the showdown between Japan's heroes and the villain organization, Paranormal Liberation Front. My Hero Academia's previous seasons are available for streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll and Funimation. Its upcoming Season 6 is also scheduled to air in fall 2022.
Spider-Man's not resting on his laurels either. The wall-crawler made his latest appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Spider-Man: No Way Home, featuring Tom Holland reprising his role as the titular Spider-Man. Since its premiere, No Way Home has earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, cementing it as the first movie to cross the major milestone during the pandemic era.
