Toriko, like Bobobo some years before, got a small push out of interest in its quirky twist on shonen some years back in the states. I didn't really keep up with it but really thought it was well done.
And the one shonen I've been behind on even starting is My Hero. But when I hear about All Might I automatically just think how he's not the main character at all. He's slipped every year in popularity polls, so I don't think he really stands up as an example of what Superman can be to Japanese audiences and general anime fans. One could see an American product like Adventure time having solid success with the viewer base if it doesn't already, and as crazy as it sounds I think Superman has the same potential. I guess it's hard to explain but I find a lot of old material so ahead of its time, if we're not talking about the conventional stuff that goes across both comics and anime these days. I like the idea of updating what works about it, and not in the "rotary vs cell phone" sense if you get me.
Kerry Callen strips are a good example of what I mean

The Sunday strips had the throwback, "far out by played straight" thing I like about very old sci-fi properties. Superman is a legitimately old character, not a character going retro, and has this dry absurdity others would kinda have to fake it to get.

I love how Cary Bates updated it. How (also thanks to Swan's very traditional and detail oriented skills, the character's world kept consistent) he was still old school but much more bizarre at the same time.

The other component, action... is easy enough to be an afterthought imo
