Heroman (Manga)	comment	Imagine if, instead of getting bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker acquired the controls for Giant Robo. note Other than Japanese Spider-Man, of course.Heroman is the result of Stan Lee working with Bones to create a manga and anime that can best be described as Giant Robo meets The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot IN AMERICA!. The manga was serialized in Monthly Shonen Gangan from 2009 to 2011 and compiled into five volumes, and the anime aired for 26 episodes from April to September 2010.The story is thus: generic American Joey Jones lives in Center City, West Coast USA. It's 20 Minutes into the Future, as humanoid robotics are the rage for those who have the money to buy them. Joey is not one of these people, and works as a part-order cook when not getting pushed around by The Bully. Joey is pretty much accepting the modern ennui of having no power in life; when a number of surprising things happen. The Bully's friend screws up his robot really badly, breaking it and throwing it away. Joey picks it up and tries to fix it; dubbing it "Heroman". Lina, sympathetic classmate of Joey's and Generic American Cheerleader (not to mention said bully's sister), becomes a Distressed Damsel. Joey and Heroman get struck by lightning, transforming Heroman into a Humongous Mecha and Joey into The Kid with the Remote Control. Joey via Heroman rescues his classmate, who isn't conscious to realize what is going on. While struggling to think about what to do with great power, aliens invade Earth.....Yeah, we've got the tropes coming rapid-fire.Now has a character sheet in need of tropes.You can read an entertaining recap blog here.

It might be the least violent show to be produced by Studio Bones, given it's Saturday-Morning Cartoon influences. In episode 18, a scientist collapses on the ground outside the summerhouse the gang is staying at, and you can see a trail of blood behind him.

He's a few yards away from finishing it when Heroman stops him.

To say that doesn't turn out well is something of an Understatement.

Not only does he not succeed, but he is caught, treated like a joke by Kogorr, has both his body and mind violated as he is assimilated/brainwashed by the Skrugg, is responsible for the corruption and (possible) death of said best friend, is freed from enslavement by the kid he used to bully, and has to deal with being obviously non-human and is cut off from his family and friends, and has to go into the wilderness to escape ostricization and hopefully get better. He...doesn't. And even after all of this, he owes his life to Joey again, and is still limited in the difference he can make. Kid really can't catch a break.

Each of whom are confronted by Will, who fails miserably at saving the day before Heroman and Joey get involved. Psy, Joey, and Heroman inspiring a wheelchair-bound boy who wanted to be able to skate like Psy. Psy gives him the special motorized skateboard he uses in the anime so he can follow his dreams. A Bring It On-esque mini-arc in which Lena gets Will and Joey to join the cheerleading squad so they can finally win against a rival cheerleading squad. Despite the rival team's sabotage, they win. Right before the Skrugg invade.

There's some stuff that seems minor, but could be bigger-for example, the giant spiked ball, the figure in the flames, Minami possibly being upgraded to a main antagonist rather than a recurring villain-since it shows him fighting with Psy and Heroman, Psy using his Musical Assassin skills in battle, Heroman getting a new ability, the government taking an offensive on the group, and the group shot at the end showing who MAY be important. Hell, we get a lot more of Stan Lee in this opening, and Joey's past as well. Of course, this could all just be Wild Mass Guessing, but it's hard to tell.

The first closing has a Shout-Out to Stan Lee era comics with a cover featuring classic hero poses, a stylized Bones logo that is an outright Expy of the Marvel Comics logo and is complete with The Comics Code Authority Seal of Approval. Psy's skate shop has a board the same color as a certain Vespa with the words 'Hybrid Rainbow' next to it. To top it off, Psy uses a guitar as a weapon. In the sewer, you can see a familiar Spider. In episode 10, a man can just barely be seen◊ wearing a jersey with "S.U.D.A. 51" on it. Also, in episode 13, when the NIA knock on the Jones's door, Joey's sister is wearing a tank top with The Punisher logo on it. Another one in episode 13, more to film-culture than a particular work. Denton refers to himself by the legendary pseudonym Alan Smithee whilst alerting Joey about the NIA raid. One of Dr. Minami's... many poses during his speech in Episode 15 is the same as Sailor Moon's. In episode 17, Heroman clinging to the side of the school building to avoid Ms. Collins, and his pose, is quite similar to Spider-Man. Didn't anyone else think Rorschach when Will wore that longcoat and intimidated those city thugs? In the episode twenty preview, Joey is dressed like Sherlock Holmes, and Psy looks like Michael Jackson in his Smooth Criminal outfit. "Okay, anyone else getting massive Teppelin and Lazengann vibes here?" Okay, a Body Horror transformation of kidnapped humans by evil aliens known as Skrugg ? Stroggs anyone ?? Quake IV ?? After Episode 19, Will's new look under the Badass Longcoat strongly resembles a Guyver unit.

Heroman (Manga) / int_cd83fa5b	comment	Spoiler Opening: C'mon, you know there has to be something, considering the shadows of Will and Nick, the other huge mecha, the NIA... Better yet, practically the first scene of the opening shows Joey and Heroman looking over a massive crater in the middle of the city. Guess what happens to the alien base when they win. Take a look at the ending of the first opening and then look at the preview for episode 25. The newest opening, while much, much more fast paced, you can still spot events that will be important, such as what look like slightly different Skrugg, the characters in New York, and the Statue of Liberty being covered in organic tech... That's not even all of it. There's some stuff that seems minor, but could be bigger-for example, the giant spiked ball, the figure in the flames, Minami possibly being upgraded to a main antagonist rather than a recurring villain-since it shows him fighting with Psy and Heroman, Psy using his Musical Assassin skills in battle, Heroman getting a new ability, the government taking an offensive on the group, and the group shot at the end showing who MAY be important. Hell, we get a lot more of Stan Lee in this opening, and Joey's past as well. Of course, this could all just be Wild Mass Guessing, but it's hard to tell. Alternately, in what may be a case of Spoiler ENDING, we see Joey, Heroman and Agent Hughes walking together. It may just be for the fun of it, but with the spoiler track record here...

Heroman (Manga) / int_e9604359	comment	The manga's much more merciful to him. While he does get his ass handed to him by three different Skrugg attackers, he finally learns his lesson during the manga's version of the invasion arc, without dragging his friend into the Skrugg base and getting the both of them turned into enemy soldiers.

Heroman (Manga) / int_ea9ecc06	comment	The Kid with the Remote Control: Heroman shows signs of both being a separate entity and being an extension of Joey's psyche. In Episode 9 Joey gets knocked out by the Skrugg leader. Heroman gets mad and unleashes a Superpowered Evil Side, even turning red for the occasion. Which then proceeds to independently curbstomp the Skrugg leader, even ripping the wings right off his body. When Joey wakes up, he makes Heroman better, just as Heroman is trying to rip the Skrugg leader's face off

Heroman (Manga) / int_eb2eb10f	type	Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Heroman (Manga) / int_eb2eb10f	comment	Istanbul (Not Constantinople): Center City is Los Angeles, pure and simple. Several maps seen in the news and military debriefings depict its exact location on a U.S. map. Another subtle nod happens when the Skrugg first arrive. Everyone thinks the big aliens are characters in a Hollywood movie shoot. I was actually told that this is supposed to take place in Buena Park (in Orange County, which is nearby Los Angeles). Wouldn't be that surprising, given it's Stan. This all gets pretty weird though when we see a newspaper that's written in ancient Latin. Seriously. The Latin text is lorem ipsum - filler text. It's gibberish in Latin, and serves to occupy space. In this case, to look like a LOT of words in English to a Japanese audience.

This gets hilariously subverted at the end of the episode, though, where Lina fantasizes about asking Joey out on a date aloud... just as Joey shows up to "kill" the moment by remembering to return her lost cell phone.
