My Hero Academia and Marvel shared cross-over illustrations earlier today, with the artist already responding to fan concerns over the portrayal of Mirko’s color. Humberto Ramos and Edgar Delgado created the illustration of the ladies of My Hero Academia together with Marvel’s Black Cat.
The Japanese heroines include Mt. Lady, Star and Stripe, Ochaco Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui, Momo Yaoyorozu, Setsuna Tokage, and Mirko. This is the version that was posted by Marvel:
Edgar Delgado was in charge of coloring the illustration. He uploaded the following version his personal X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky accounts.
While there were multiple corrections, Mirko’s is the most noticeable. Replying to a comment by a fan that there is a difference to the version posted by Marvel, Edgar Delgado explained that they were already working on it and that it was the result of a’very very tight deadline and no sleep.’ He also said that the references he had used had lighter skin and that he will adjust it for the final version.
Mirko is one of My Hero Academia’s fan-favorite characters, and you can see one of Kohei Horikoshi’s illustrations featuring the Rabbit Hero below.
Kohei Horikoshi drew the My Hero Academia manga for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from July 2014 until August of this year. The manga received its first anime adaptation by studio BONES in 2016. It received 6 more seasons in the following years, with Season 7 concluding on October 12, 2024.
My Hero Academia Season 8 was officially announced immediately after the last episode, and it was confirmed to be the final one. The franchise also got four movies, with the latest one being My Hero Academia: You’re Next. The movie will release on Blu-ray & DVD in Japan on February 19, 2025 and include a new anime with an original story by Kohei Horikoshi.
