    Default Marvel stories that would make good Japanese mangas?

    Have enjoyed the manga versions of deadpool, justice league and joker adopting baby batman.
    Howabout..
    Golgo 13 type punisher stories. They could remix those late eighties ones about the yakuza infiltrating crime and big biz.

    MHA version of avengers academy

    BL stories about iceman, northstar, Billy and teddy etc

    Others?

    Moondragon x Phylia-Vell stories would make a good manga.

    Kaiju of fing fang foom and other monsters

    Less stereotypical versions of silver samurai, sun fire etc...

    Hopefully this counts, but I've always enjoyed a good homage of legendary classics such like Lone Wolf & Cub

    Iron Fist feels tailor made for a shonen anime.

    Wolverine, but I think that's been done a few times.


    In addition to the really cool Japanese opening for it, the X-men animated series were adapted into manga as well (not to be confused with X-men Adventures, which did a similar thing), which I think was later translated into English by Marvel.

    The Runaways would make a good shounen book.
    Or maybe the Power Pack but with a Japanese family.

    There was of course the Marvel mangaverse event in 2002 which featured some interesting manga-style variations on the characters, done mainly by "Amerimanga" writers and artists like Adam Warren, Ben Dunn, UDON etc. (Although Peter David, Chuck Austen, and others were given one-shots that were mixed...)

    Naturally, they made Iron Man a mecha and the Hulk a Kaiju.

    Japan did animes of future avengers, blade, wolverine, x-men and iron man and anime movies for tomb of Dracula and Frankenstein's momster manga for spider-man, hulk, big hero 6 and squirrel girl. Japan did live action spider-man and miss america shows.

    Would love a trade of the hulk manga from the 70s.

    Should mention that Adam Warren's take on Fantastic Four is clearly an Evangelion parody. Adam actually wrote a few filler issues on the main title as well before the Waid relaunch. In both cases they were not drawn by Warren but by Kieron Grant, who also did a few issues of Iron Man and the New Mutants relaunch (Which became the post-Morrison new X-men) around the same time.

    Reed is a mix of Gendou and Kaji.

    Johnny is a woman, Johanna,meant to be Asuka.

    Sue, or "Sioux" is Rei.

    Ben is nervous and withdrawn Shinji, his Thing form is a mech of sorts.

    Annihilus is the "Angel".

    I know, right?! If it counts, I also remember Phoenix: Legacy of Fire from Ryan Kinnaird

    I completely forgot about this book. I can't believe Marvel published this!

    What about Venom? At this point he's been in enough crazy storylines and movies he might qualify for a zany manga/anime main character like Chainsaw Man, whether it includes ultra-violence or not. Given stuff like Parasyte as well.
