Part of the fun of watching the show is catching all of the references! Midoriya gets a powered suit of armor at one point that malfunctions and nearly cripples him in the same way that Tony Stark's did in Iron Man 2. There are many more besides these, too. Both characters have the ability to manipulate fire, both characters start off as antagonists to the hero but later come to work with them, and both are scarred around the left eye.
In fact, the villain All for One is clearly modeled visually off of Darth Vader. There are also references to many other movies and shows. Shoto Todoroki is based on Prince Zuko, from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The city the show is set in is named Musutafu, a reference to planet Mustafar, where Darth Vader came to be.
Midoriya is trained by his teacher at Dagobah Municipal Beach Park, just as Luke Skywalker was trained by his teacher on planet Dagobah.
My Hero Academia is full of references to other popular works of heroic fantasy? Most famous, perhaps, are the many Star Wars references.
