The movie has many parodies of classic Marvel and DC characters and hilariously pokes fun at several throughout.

Aside from the aforementionedGen V, the idea of a superhero university has remained mostly unexplored in superhero media.

Sky High is a 2005 comedy that follows the son of two famous superheroes as he attends a high school for student heroes. Michael Angarano stars alongside Danielle Panabaker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kurt Russell, and Kelly Preston, with appearances by Bruce Campbell and Lynda Carter.
