4	''Sunfire and Big Hero 6'' was a Creator/MarvelComics series released in 1998. A second ''Big Hero 6'' miniseries (without Sunfire) was released in 2008.

6	Big Hero 6 is Japan's state-sponsored superhero team, protecting the islands from things that conventional police or military can't handle. The original lineup included former [[ComicBook/XMen X-Man]] Sunfire, former criminal Silver Samurai, the nanotech-wielding Honey Lemon, ex-con [=GoGo=] Tomago, boy genius Hiro Takachiho, and robot Baymax.
7
8	The 2008 version replaced Sunfire and Silver Samurai with sushi chef Wasabi No-Ginger and Fred (or "Fredzilla"), who can turn into a kaiju.
9
10	The series later loosely inspired the 2014 animated film ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6''. Following that film's success, [[ExiledFromContinuity Marvel has stopped using the property within the Marvel Universe entirely]], in favor of letting Disney run their own version of the franchise.
11	----
12	!!This series contains examples of:
13	* AllThereInTheManual: Ebon Samurai and Sunpyre only ever made one appearance and had one line of dialogue each; their backstories were instead described in an ''ComicBook/OfficialHandbookOfTheMarvelUniverse''.
14	* BagOfHolding: Honey Lemon has a high-tech "power purse" that she can pull ''anything'' from.
15	* BoxedCrook: [=GoGo=] Tomago was released from prison on condition that she serve in Big Hero 6.
16	* CaptainEthnic: Every member of the team is inspired by Japanese culture, or at least what Westerners think of as Japanese culture.
17	* ChefOfIron: Wasabi No-Ginger is an expert chef, able to prepare many local and international dishes simply for the joy of cooking. He's also a deadly knife slinger and doesn't appreciate his cooking being interuppted by villain attacks.
18	* EdibleThemeNaming: Three members of the Big Hero 6 have this: Wasabi No-Ginger, [=GoGo=] Tomago (of Japanese tamago), and Honey Lemon.
19	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Silver Samurai is a dude in silver armor modeled after samurai armor.
20	* {{Expy}}: The team is monitored by a Japanese Homeland Security agent named Furi Wamu. Furi wears an eyepatch. [[ComicBook/NickFury We see what you did there, Marvel.]]
21	* LighterAndSofter: The 2008 series is radically retooled from the [[Creator/ManOfActionStudios Man of Action]] series--under the guidance of Creator/ChrisClaremont--with a lighter tone, [[YoungerAndHipper younger main cast,]] and more {{Animesque}} aesthetic. This series more closely resembles the adaptation that Disney would produce later.
22	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Hiro speculates that the nature of Honey Lemon's Power Purse might be this in the 2008 series.
23	* PretendToBeBrainwashed: Furi pretends to be brainwashed by Bad Gal to get the drop on her. Apparently she has the CharlesAtlasSuperpower of being immune to brainwashing.
24	* RecruitingTheCriminal: [=GoGo=] Tomago is recruited out of prison.
25	* ReplacementGoldfish: Hiro created Baymax based on his deceased father.
26	* ShoutOut: Fred, introduced in the second run of the series, can summon forth a spectral avatar that extends outward from him, being able to control it as if it were his own body. It's pretty much a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stand]], with the way he uses it being reminiscent of Jotaro's usage of [[FightingSpirit Star Platinum]] in particular (being able to selectively summon specific body parts and limited range).
27	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: After Silver Samurai and Sunfire became unavailable, they were replaced by Ebon Samurai and Sun''pyre'', the former a resurrected samurai who looked almost exactly like Silver Samurai, and the latter a woman from the Microverse wearing the costume of the younger sister of Sunfire.
