Type: Analog/Pastiche
Though Fry removed all of his "original" character's powers at Leela's behest, it's hard not to see how Superman was an inspiration. The cape, the original powers, and oh yeah, that cover!
Delivery-Boy Man's origin story also has something in common with Superman's:
...whose adopted parents were killed in a dark alley, leading him to become a scientist who exploded a Gamma bomb that mutated a spider that in turn stung him, causing him to grow metal claws he used to open a package with bracelets, a lasso and a tiara that had to be sent back to their rightful Amazon owners who baptized the delivery boy... wait for it... Delivery-Boy Man!
Close 'nuff!
