Comics have always had a huge influence on normal life, even in the days before the MCU. And I’m not just talking about the tons of merchandising and the hero fantasy, but even in everyday life. In fact, many of the things even people that don’t care about comics use on a nearly daily basis has been inspired by comics at some point. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look!

Pizza

While you can’t get comic book-inspired pizza everywhere you go, you can get a whole bunch of comic book character-inspired pizza in Florida. There’s a place called Ormond Beach’s Gotham City Pizza that hosts no less than two dozen unique pizzas inspired by characters such as the Hulk, the Joker or Wolverine.

Flowers

Not talking about real flowers, of course. No, Paper Flowers by Nicki, which is an England-based flower shop, literally rips pages out of comic books and turns them into flower arrangements. I think a lot of us are just hoping the pages don’t get ripped out of any of the older, limited edition comics.

Sermons

That’s right, even the word of God has at one point been inspired by comic books. The parallel is pretty easy to make since the New Testament is basically a book about a guy with supernatural abilities fighting evil. There’s been ministers all over the US that have used comic book characters in their sermons to get their message across, like the obvious link between Superman and Jesus or how with great power comes great responsibility.
