If you have no issue with anime, you definitely should check out Super Crooks. The anime is based on a comic by Mark Millar, a veteran of the industry who has worked for DC and Marvel. He is the creator of cult comics like Old Man Logan or Kickass.
The series follows Johnny Bolt, a villain with electric powers who carries out smaller heists. To make a bigger name for himself and prove something to his great love, he plans to execute a major heist with a group of supervillains, but as often happens, things go awry.
The world of Super Crooks is similar to that of The Boys. Many people have abilities, and alongside the well-known, you also have absurd ones, like causing misfortune
. The series demonstrates that powers are not always heroic and can also lead to great losses unintentionally.
Beyond that, Super Crooks stands out for its style. It captures comic flair well, and the music and characters are simply cool. Together with great action scenes and good animation from Studio Bones (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood), Super Crooks is just a good overall package.
