''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2779874/Chuckman Chuckman]] Tropers/{{Chuckman}} is a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' SuperFic that has an interesting premise: What if Shinji Ikari was ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''? The answer is a story that seamlessly combines elements of the Superman mythos with the setting and story of Evangelion, eventually becoming a FusionFic of sorts, in which more characters and elements of the DC universe are integrated into the plot.

** When Asuka discovers Shinji plays cello, is an excellent cook and reads books in half a dozen of languages (including Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian and Latin), she is impressed.
** When Touji uses words as “waif” or “encircled” his classmates get shocked. He complains that everybody assume he is a dumb jock only because he works out.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first story scene, as soon as Shinji sees Sachiel he asks what that monster is and states firmly that it must be stopped. That moment shows this Shinji is not his timid, weak canon self even before being revealed he is Superman.

* ObliviousToHints: Despite having enhanced senses, Shinji is ''horrible'' at noticing hints. In chapter 2 Asuka met him for first time. She stiffened and stared at him for several seconds before quickly looking away lest he noticed she was staring. Shinji, despite of being able to sense the heat rising from her skin, missed this.
-->''The second thing that happened was that Asuka Langley Soryu laid eyes on Shinji Ikari for the first time, and stiffened oh so subtly, her air of casual indifference shifting to one of deliberately indifference, her eyes rapidly snapping off him to look anywhere else before he noticed her looking. Shinji, being Shinji, despite being able to see the heat rising from her skin, hear the quickening of her heartbeat, and practically feel the sounds of the afternoon breeze brushing through her hair, of course noticed none of this.''

** Gendo demanded Asuka got disciplined for “insubordination” when she fought Shamshel, despite of it being not her fault at all.
** While Rei was hospitalized Shinji brought her flowers. Gendo saw them, he told: “You do not need flowers” and dumped them in the trash.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In chapter 3 Asuka moved so fast that even Shinji was surprised. In chapter 12 she slapped Shinji and again he got stunned by her speed and surprised because her slap actually stung (even though he is nearly invulnerable). Then she ''tackled him'' before kissing him. A few chapters later [[spoiler:it was revealed her mother was an Amazon,]] so her greater-than-average strength and speed made sense.

When he is summoned to Tokyo-3, he is still shy and soft-spoken, but he is more emotionally stable and more compassionate than his canon counterpart, he is committed to help and protect others, and he is powerful enough to fight anything is thrown at him.
