No, I don't think you get it. None of those gained their fame by comic books (I'm not counting manga here, though I don't know if Digimon ever had a manga).Transformers, Megaman, and Digimon were all comic series.
I think, for now anyway, their discussion is based around the classic DC and Marvel characters. They are what has been referenced so far and what has fit the mold of "jock" superhero and "nerd" supervillain. Perhaps the story will expand to other areas of comicdom later.
