James Gunn’s Superman (2025) has taken the fandom by storm, with many fans highlighting the standout introductions of Mister Terrific and Hawkgirl. Now, one insanely talented Manga artist has taken the celebration of these two heroes even further, giving the duo a jaw-dropping anime makeover that is nothing short of perfection.
Manabu Yashiro is best known as the artist of Natsu to Mikoshi to Kyoudai Kaijuu, as well as the author and artist of Tank Chair and Murahagane. Recently, this underrated talent took to X to share his stunning anime redesigns of Superman’s Mister Terrific and Hawkgirl.
While seeing these characters in such a style is already beyond epic, what truly elevates Yashiro’s work to the next level is the way he perfectly captures their individual personalities from the movie with exceptional accuracy.

Yashiro Captures Mister Terrific’s Iconic Emotionless Cool and Signature Tech in Stunning Fan Art
On July 13, 2025, just two days after the theater debut of James Gunn’s Superman, Yashiro shared his anime-inspired take on Mister Terrific on X. He captured the character’s no-nonsense, emotionally reserved expression that defined him in the movie, and which also complements his iconic line, “I don’t do feelings.”
In the artwork, Yashiro also portrays Mister Terrific performing his signature hand motions from the film, which allow him to control his T-Spheres (advanced, multifunctional gadgets that serve as his trademark tech in both the comics and the movie). The T-Spheres themselves are prominently featured in the background, adding depth to the piece.

A few days later, on July 15, Yashiro posted his take on Hawkgirl. Much like his Mister Terrific piece, Yashiro perfectly captures Hawkgirl’s personality by depicting her wide-mouthed and soaring through the sky while letting out one of her signature screeches. This exaggerated open-mouth portrayal is a perfect double homage: a staple of anime art and a nod to Hawkgirl’s fierce battle cry.
Yashiro’s portrayal of Hawkgirl is also gaining massive traction, with 62,000 likes, 8,700 reblogs, and over a hundred comments praising the artwork. It’s been truly epic to see both Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific get their moment in the spotlight in Superman and then be further celebrated through the incredible work of talented artists like Yashiro.
