Question
Is there an official statement from Eric Kripke (showrunner) or The Boys comics creators (Garth Ennis or Darick Robertson) of at least one superhero parodying a Marvel superhero or made in the image of a Marvel superhero? My question is not limited to a superhero. It can also be any other noticeable parallel like if Vought Studios is a parody of Marvel Studios. I already know about Supes parodying DC.
In my opinion, the Supes who draw parallels with Marvel heroes:
Kimiko/Popclaw -> is parodying Sabertooth/Wolverine
Dopelganger -> Mystique
Stormfront -> Storm
Gecko -> Deadpool
and so on, so are these parallels/parodies confirmed officially?
