Lantz's fics / Re: Swords and sorcery primer.

Lantz is probably confused by Mirror Moon's translation of seigi no mikata as superhero. He takes the translation at face value and does not bother to take into consideration how Japanese think.
Anyway, lumping Shirou with American comic heroes is a cultural imperialism. Japanese concept of a hero is different from American one. Heck, look at Franco-Belgian comics and see how their heroes are different from capes. The cape is something American only.
Magos is right that of all American comic stuff, Silver Age is most glaringly incompatible with Nasuverse.
See, fanfiction are stories set in established setting. If you go against the core principles of the setting, you are better off to create your own setting unrelated to Nasuverse and write setting. Personally, I want to separate my Nasuverse RPG project and my own homebrew even if some concepts overlap.
