Why am I doing this?

Two very surprisingly similar series, but go about their series in very different ways.

Which one had the better story/Cast etc.?
 
Worm

... Okay so, to be less memetic, it's not really something to directly compare. They do their things significantly differently with presentation in the medium they take up, and what they're trying to achieve. InFAMOUS is just a dark superhero story, while MHA is a more optimistic world about how heroes have taken root in society
 
MHA is where Supers discriminate against the powerless. inFAMOUS is where the powerless discriminate against Supers.
 
This gives me a fanfic idea.

Cole as a teacher at UA.

I don't know how it'd happen but I'd pay to see it. Like, depending on the time frame, Cole either has to deal with Kessler, has to prepare for the Beast, or is dead. Maybe an AU where he went to Japan instead of New Marias during inFAMOUS 2 for some reason.

All Might or whoever is like "hey, you're that guy from Empire City. Wanna teaching degree? We could use Heroes like you at UA." And Cole's like. "I appreciate the offer, but I'm kinda busy. I have to gather these Blast Cores to prepare for when The Beast shows up."

"If you teach at UA, we'll help you find Blast Cores."

"Deal."

So Cole gets assigned to teach 1-A and finds himself struggling to reign in Japan's most chaotic group of teenagers while Zeke macks on Mount Lady or something.

Zeke teaching that sticky purple kid how to pick up chicks. Dear god what have I done.

Anyways, these two franchises are an interesting contrast. They both have protagonists who are shunned by society for pretty much the opposite reasons, but ine wants to be a Hero from the get go while the other was slowly forced into it. Both have to learn to use their powers more responsibly, but one case is "hey, don't get yourself killed" while the other is "hey, don't be a dick". The weights of one kid realizing his dream and a guy with pretty much no dream being given a grand destiney are equal in many ways and neither can really be declared superior. They both do different things with contrasting concepts with an equal level of skill. It's really a matter of what you're looking for in a Superhero story.

Zeke is a vastly superior character to that sticky Grape Kid though.
 
Zeke and Mineta would be a sight to behold

I do think Cole teaching at UA would be cool though. I imagine he'd start off like Aizawa, just constantly tired and nonchalant as long as nobody kills eachother

I wonder if Deku would nerd over Cole, at that
 
I assume you mean MHA, by which case yeah

Of course he fries his brain whenever he uses his max power
 
I can imagine Cole just pulling a Shazam and casually shooting him with a lightning bolt whenever he gets TKOd
 
He trained his powers by getting a battery and constantly charging and absorbing it, so presumably so
