The creator of Dandadan has compared one of the hit manga and anime's lead characters to a classic superhero. Speaking with Shueisha's MANGA Plus, creator Yukinobu Tatsu said that he can see a lot of similarities between psychic teenager Momo Ayase and the Man of Steel.
"Momo is like Superman. Superman helps people with his superhuman powers, but I don't think that's the core of who he is," the creator explained in the interview. "In the face of violence or injustice, ordinary people often look away. But Superman's presence inspires people, giving them the courage to stand up against such evil. In the same way, Momo's actions and words inspire those around her, motivating them to rise up, just like Superman."
