I've been getting a lot of asks about the various futures of the characters in this setting, specifically Class 1-A. So I thought it'd be fun to mix them all up together and toss in some headcanons about the various students in the future. And yes, I will change some of the hero names and titles to what I believe are better versions. Because I like to think that someone from the Management Course got to these kids before they went public.

The Fresh-Picked Hero, Vineyard: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Defense Popular Product: Sticky purple orb toys that you can throw around.

Mineta eventually grew to a more decent of a hero. He learned to properly apply himself rather than coasting on what little talent he had and worked to put on a brave face when fighting villains. He was hoping his growth would improve his image with the ladies. It did not.

The Super Sweet Hero, Sugar Ray: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: A line of sweets designed and endorsed by Sato himself.

In spite of his brutish power and appearance, Sato found himself loved among old folks and housewives that loved the recipes he came up with. He'd always spare his treats with anyone he helped in his hero work, always brightening the spirits of anyone he came across.

The Taping Hero, Cellophane: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Recon Popular Product: A brand of tape supposedly based on Sero's own tape.

While never the most popular or successful hero, Sero was always the most approachable one of the class, remaining down to Earth in spite of his past and lifestyle. This ended up making him more of the "working man's hero", finding fans in blue-collar workers. His power may have played a part in this.

The Fighting Hero, Martial: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: A line of fur coats inspired by his tail and costume.

Ojiro was never going to be a popular hero, yet found a hardcore audience in niche communities. He would go on to found several dojos that would help young heroes learn how to apply themselves as marital artists, with or without their Quirks, and would accept many of them as his sidekicks.

The Unseen Heroine, Ultraviolet: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Recon Popular Product: A shoe line inspired by the ones from her costume.

In spite of the massive controversy when she appeared on the hero scene because of her power, Hagkaure has taken to stealth-focused hero work well. Still, she tries to gain as much attention as possible as not to be left in the background. Surprisingly, this does not interfere with her work since no one ever sees it coming.

The Petting Hero, Anima Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Rescue Popular Product: A playset featuring various animals Koda works with, including little information cards on them.

While Koda had a role in the Heteromorphic moment, he found himself far more preoccupied with animal protection and conversation, working to endorse several zoos and sanctuaries. The once shy boy found his voice in sharing his love of animals. He remains popular with young children.

The Tentacle Hero, Sixth Sense: Rank: 50s to 60s Specialization: Recon Popular Product: A mask and headpiece set resembling Shoji's costume.

True to his word, Shoji helped foster and repair the relations with the Heteromorphs. He worked tirelessly as the public face of the movement and as the hero who would help deal with cases of Heteromorph related crimes. In time, Shoji started to feel like he didn't needed to hide his scars.

The Illustrious Hero, Rayonnant: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: A clothing line heavily inspired by his own fabulous wardrobe and costume.

In spite of his flashy looks and grandiose persona, Aoyama was always one of the more empathic heroes. He would always help encourage "lost causes", becoming an icon and true hero for those that felt alone and afraid. He wanted to make sure they all grew to shine as bright as he did.

The Astonishing Hero, Paradigm: Rank: 100s to 150s Specialization: Recon Popular Product: A toy version of his masks that distorts your voice.

Preferring to stay away from the limelight, both for himself and his Quirk, Shinso made a valuable underground hero for the world at large. He's been immensely helpful in deescalating dangerous situations and assisting police in doing wet work to gather evidence. In spite of that, he never once felt like a villain.

The Stun Gun Hero, Chargebolt: Rank: 70s to 80s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: A toy version of his disk launcher and glasses

While not as lazy as he was in his youth, Denki still takes a laid back attitude to hero work and tends to treat it more like celebrity work. Less out of any selfish desire and more that he's surprisingly good at that part of it, especially with teenagers. Still does little electrical shows and short circuits himself sometimes at the request of fans.

The Hearing Heroine, Treblemaker: Rank: 20s to 30s Specialization: Rescue Popular Product: Various musical equipment themed after her, especially headphones and musical toys.

After her injury, Jiro focused less on hero work as a whole. While she still went out and landed her ear when she was needed, she instead used it as a platform to prop up her music to a resounding success. She'd often use her music and concerts to help raise money and attention to disaster areas she had worked in. Eri has been and always will be her biggest fan.

The Alien Heroine, Pinky: Rank: 10s to 20s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: Various health and beauty products, especially skin care ones.

It's been said by her fans that Mina was built to be a hero. And they'd be right. Between her flashy power and friendly personality, she quickly gained a following and shot up the ranks. She remains a fan favorite among the crowds, earning the fan name of Alien Queen. Tends to gossip a lot about her fellow heroes and causes undue drama.

The Sturdy Hero, Red Riot: Rank: 20s to 30s Specialization: Defense Popular Product: As much as Kirishima wants it to be his workout equipment and videos, it's his hair care products.

Kirishima became a noble and courageous hero, always being the first to run into whatever danger was in his way. In spite of his simple ability, his overall brand helped him garner the attention he deserved. He became an icon for young men around the state, inspiring them to be brave, to improve, and to protect the ones they love.

The Everything Hero, Refine: Rank: 5s-15s Specialization: Support Popular Product: A junior chemistry set that actually taught quite a bit about chemistry.

While never at the front of any one operation, Momo's plays a pivotal role in organizing and planning many operations, both big and small, and is considered the resident "mastermind" among the heroes. When she isn't doing that, she is assisting Uraraka, helping to provide the resources for needed to help those who can't afford the needed support equipment.

The Jet-Black Hero, Tsukuyomi: Rank: 10s to 20s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: Various plushies designed after Dark Shadow

In the shadows of the night, this dark hero would strike out giving all villains a true terror for the dark beast inside him. Yes, Tokoyami is still a massive dork. His own phrase of "Revelry in the Dark" became his catchphrase in the public eye, especially among his massive chunibyo fan base, much to his embarrassment. He thinks he could have come up with something cooler.

Rainy Season Hero: Froppy Rank: 100s-150s Specialization: Rescue Popular Product: A collection of Froppy themed water accessories, like goggles and water guns.

Tsuyu still patrols the coastline with her sidekicks, the Tadpoles, searching for anyone in need. While her niche work keeps her from the limelight, she is still extremely popular with small children. This is helpful whenever she helps Uraraka with her Quirk Counseling endeavors, helping to educate younger children on the matter.

The Turbo Hero, Ingenium Rank: 10s to 20s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: An Ingenium themed car for the action figure to drive around, much to Iida's confusion.

As Tenya grew older, he began to mellow out more, becoming more like the man Tensei was than the man Tenya thought he was. Still, he holds himself and his sidekicks to the high standards of the Ingeium family name. Hopes to instill those values in the younger generation and works extensively with Uraraka with her efforts in Quirk Counseling.

The Lighthearted Heroine, Uraravity Rank: 20s to 30s Specialization: Rescue Popular Product: A series of space themed toys based around a space mission storyline her brand did.

Uraraka went on to participate in and champion the act of Quirk Counseling. She helped to push for the implementation and personalization of the process across many schools. She wanted to make sure that no one would feel hatred for the Quirk and would regularly go around to help teach kids to understand and accept their Quirks.

Great Explosion Murder God, Dynamight: Rank: 5s-15s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: Toys inspired by his bracers that light up and shoot out plastic darts.

Ever the firecracker, Bakugou remains a solo hero through and through. He fails at having any real media presence and is well known for his tumultuous relationship with the press. Still, he remains one of the most impressive heroes in terms of incidents solved and time spent patrolling. Tends to take in "troubled kids" and whip them into shape as his sidekicks.

The Thermal Hero, Shoto Rank: 5s-15s Specialization: Combat Popular Product: A limited edition model based off of his first costume.

Shoto became the pro hero he was always meant to be, moving on from the shadow of his family. However, in spite of his time and dedication, his public image keeps him from the higher rankings. He still cannot talk to people to save his life, and the awkward interviews are legendary in the hero fan community. Still manages to rank high among the "Hottest Heroes" listing.

The Greatest Hero, Deku: Rank: ??? Specialization: Combat Popular Product: A short-lived action figure from his time as a hero. It is considered a high-value item that any fan would kill for.

Deku's time away has led to endless speculation on what happened to him and why he left. However, with his big splash back on the hero scene, he's made huge waves in the hero world and is fully expected to shoot up the ranks. Many fans watch on in excitement to see what will come next of the young hero. Though for him, he's still eager to help teach his adoring students.

[thejolteonmastertjspoilers]

I keep forgetting to post about this all the while it’s only become less and less likely to mean anything in canon… but can we talk for a second anyways on how Monoma’s the only person on the battlefield right now who actually knows the reason Deku’s black whip awakened in the first place, the reason for Deku losing control for the first time during the Joint Training arc was because of Bakugo?

Remember how even when All Might and Bakugo asked what triggered blackwhip Deku was like “I dunno,” y’know, like a liar?

The only people in the manga who know specifically what Monoma said to trigger black whip, is, well, Monoma himself, plus probably Shinsou. Almost certainly Shinsou actually.

It’s even strongly implied it was Shinsou’s idea for Monoma to mock Bakugo specifically. He was shown evesdropping on their friendly banter, no doubt for strategic purposes.

Shinsou knew he got Deku to talk by mocking his friends before, during the Joint Training arc he’s observing for specific friends to target.

I dunno I just find it oddly funny how Monoma of all people is one of only two people to know this particularly dramatic clue that Bakugo is literally Midoriya’s berserk button.

Heckin Monoma, why is this so oddly funny. Shinsou too, this is such a neat setup. Even for a platonic reading of BakuDeku, putting Monoma in this situation is just so bizzarely funny to me, like, I was honestly expecting Monoma to get a flashback of the Joint Training arc when Deku lost it in the recent arc over thinking Bakugo died… but okay, to be fair, perhaps Monoma hadn’t had enough reason to connect the dots quite yet. But maybe now he does? 🤔

Eh, or maybe I’m overanalyzing things.

[quiveringdeer]

Shinsou has an archive of cursed memes that he sends out at random to his friends without context just to fuck with them.

Tbh this is hella adorable!!!! Cause like he's so quiet in person and you might think yall aren't even close but then you get this uber cursed thing at 3am and know he's thinkin about you!

I'd be so fuckin honored 😌

The Potential of Meta (ε)

art by @ehhgg-art

So after watching Restoration, I wanted to talk about Tucker being Epsilon Meta or Meta (ε). First is the execution of the character. Tucker being an unwilling host, of the fragments and being forced to do to their bidding, was great. as well as him trying to resist and fight them off. But the fact that Tucker being made to be a fighter on the level of Carolina and Tex (bare in mind this is due to ai's but still) was great. And his undoing being the fact that the R&B are so unpredictable was perfect. However, I do find the choice of having Miles voice his Meta self, instead of Jason to be a bit weird. Meta Tucker for all intense purposes draws a similar vain to Felix. Miles voicing him while controlled contributes to this but the fact that the Meta talks at all, and he comes off as cocky, and menacing just matches Felix's vibe. Which leads to my biggest problem, the missed opportunity.

art by hipstersoulgushers-art

Tucker didn't get to interact with the Reds and Blues enough, the biggest obstacle with fighting Meta(ε) was that it was Tucker, It made the Reds and Caboose not want to fight their friend or not have a good chance of beating him, combined with his ability to speak as the Meta(ε) he could have came at the Red's and Blue's, verbally and physically destroying them, and just when it looks like Meta(ε) was going to far Tucker steps in like he did with Caboose. That and he didn't get to interact with all of the Reds and Blues. I would've loved to see interact Meta(ε) interact with:

Freelancers: For Wash would've been a battle of the student versus the mentor, and it could've set up Doc dying to save Wash, leading to all the stuff that happen to Wash in Restoration. For Carolina it could've played a role with her being the one to track down Meta(ε) feeling responsible for what happened, it also could lead to Meta(ε) shit talking Carolina with Tucker's more unruly traits. Reds: We could've had Tucker attacking the Reds verbally. He could've came at Simmons, since he had the arc in Restoration, saying that Grif and Simmons were useless on Chrous or make some subtle jabs at there situation. Dismantling Lopez, hell maybe thinking he killed Donut only for him to comeback later contributing to the running gag.

Sister: This is the romantic in me but it would've been so interesting to see how Sister would've reacted to Meta(ε), Ik, the Shinso trilogy is no longer canon but still there's potential with this

Locus: This one is more a of a fan favorite what-if but it would've been cool to see Meta(ε) fight Locus since there has yet to be a sword fight in RvB and it would've been dope. Locus seeing the Meta in action but realizing how Meta(ε) acts like Felix.

art by blueteamjax

I know Sigma plays the biggest role with Meta, but god damn, I wish we got to see Delta and Theta interact with them more, like a moment where there in Tucker's mind and Delta and Theta are talking to him, and Tucker sees how much Theta reminds him a little of Caboose, or starts acting like a dad to him similar to North. but also How the Ai's use Felix as a manipulation tactic. I said it before that Meta(ε) reminded me of Felix' so it would've been great for them to base there persona, off of them Felix wanted to be the ultimate weapon, an Tucker no being that draws interesting parellel's. This is all I really had cooking in my mind. But I kinda wish Restoration was a full season because oh man, if this was made during the Shinso Trilogy and Burnie and Miles wrote it we would've been eating good.

[dekuchannnn]

my favorite mha headcannons

some of these are actually headcannons or fanons

Bakugo: he's fully deaf in one ear and losing hearing in the other, he hates wearing his hearing aids but he's begun to reluctantly do so more regularly. only a couple of people know this though: deku, kirishima, mina, and denki. he started learning JSL in private, but once deku noticed a JSL workbook in the corner of his room and insisted they learn together. bkg doesn't know that kiri, mina, and denki have all secretly started learning JSL as well so that bkg doesn't have to wear his hearing aids all the time.

Deku: Deku runs a hero analysis blog under an alias. He maintains a pretty okay following and he alllllllways reblogs stuff about Hawks, All Might, and Dynamight. He loves writing meta posts on heroes and their quirks/strengths/weaknesses. He has no idea that a couple of people in class also know about his blog & he most definitely doesn't know that Kacchan knows about it. Shinsou regularly reblogs Deku's stuff onto his own blog, but has no idea it's Deku.

Shinso: Shinso and Bakugo are actually really good friends but neither of them would ever admit it to anyone. It's because Shinso is always up in the common room from the night before and Bakugo is always up at the ass crack of dawn to run. They sit in the common room together in the dark & sip their coffee together. Shinso started making Bakugo his coffee after a little while. Bakugo always complains that Shinso makes it wrong, but it's actually the best coffee Bkg has ever had.

Shoto: Shoto runs a conspiracy YouTube channel. He never shows his face and he uses a voice modulator to mask his voice. His username is @/fuckendeavor though, so pretty much everyone in Class A knows it's him. He uses Endeavor's credit card to go on shopping sprees with Deku and Ochaco on the weekends. Deku and Bakugo have been trying to teach him how to play video games since he never got to growing up. He's really bad at them.

that's all for now, but im sure i have more somewhere. special shoutout to all of the fics that inspired so many of my headcanons:

[kaleis-kingdom]

One For All Son AU!

Shigaraki Izuku is the son of Shigaraki Yoichi and Midoriya Kenji (Second).

He was born in 2007 and is a part of Gen Z.

Although he is quirkless (no hidden quirk like his dad), he does have naturally white hair.

Thr group Izuku was in, the same one his dad's were in, were more peaceful than the others. They didn't attack others unless in self defense or to protect others

Although they did burn down several government buildings... quirked kids were being tested on and hurt in those buildings though. And they made sure nobody was inside when it burned.

Izuku was mainly an analyst and statigiser, but he did like to help. Especially rescuing kids.

In 2022, after First and Second were already dead, Izuku was hit by a time travel quirk.

It sent him to 200ish years in the future.

I'm not sure if I want Third to be his brother or not. If he is, Third would he adopted.

I'm also unsure if I want him to be sent to when Tenko's quirk just activated or to when 1A are first years at UA...

On one hand, Izuku would absolutely help Tenko. He grew up with government and the police going after him and his loved ones. Heroes were always fictional for him. The mindset of 'A hero will help' doesn't exist for him.

Plus, both of Izuku's adopted siblings (Tenko and Eri) would have blueish hair, red eyes, and be found in alleyways with this timeline.

On the other hand, he would introduce himself as Shigaraki Izuku. And the fact that people would go "As in Shigaraki Toumra", while he had no clue who that is, would be funny.

Either way, Izuku keeps dubbing people as honorary Gen Z.

His list so far are: Aizawa, Shinso, and Tokoyami.

Monoma Neito and Midoriya Inko are his relatives!

Midoriya judges whoever wrote the history books. They got a lot of information wrong about the Quirk War. He would know, he was in one of the resistance groups.

Although people believe his dad's codenames are Dear (First) and Hero (Second), which he finds hilarious.

Especially since back then, people's codenames were normally what would later become quirk names.

(Ex: Bakugou would go by Explosion, Uraraka would go by Zero Gravity, Ashido would go by Acid, etc.)

Some exceptions were those like Izuku, who didn't have a meta ability but were still hated for unnatural looks.

Meta; Headcanon: Rangiku’s Bankai | Suisane no Tanebi: Haineko | Waning Essence of Embers, Ash Cat

“I am ash… from your fire.”

I was convinced for the longest time that Rangiku would never achieve bankai and while I am still of mind that it is not her main objective; her notion of wanting to achieve it has changed. Back in EBTR, when Isshin insinuates that Toushiro will be the next captain of the Tenth, Rangiku protests; she knows that to be a captain (outside of the 11th), one must have the ability to achieve bankai. This shows that she is of the mindset that eventually she’ll achieve bankai because there is a slight notion that she’d ultimately be a captain one day. However, the idea of wanting to be a captain is quickly thrown out the window after Isshin’s disappearance.

As the vice-captain, she would have been the acting captain until Toushiro would have assumed the rank – I believe the two of them work more so in tandem than sole responsibilities falling upon Rangiku, but this gives her a glimpse at what being a captain could be like she decides that it isn’t for her. This puts her bankai training much more on the back burner of things until the events of the main storyline of Bleach. It is after the events of TYBW and Toushiro’s sacrifice/loss of his bankai that she decides that she needs to become more diligent about trying to achieve Haineko’s bankai.

However, Haineko isn’t exactly onboard with the notion. As her zanpakuto is more acutely aware of damage to her soul than she is; without the knowledge of what was done but much of Haineko’s laziness, moodiness and self-centered attitude is a way to deflect her from pushing her too hard. Not knowing what might happen to her, should she bear too much burden from achieving her bankai upon her fractured soul. However, for the notion of discussing what I headcanon as Rangiku’s bankai, I’m going to speculate that eventually, Rangiku is able to convince Haineko to work with her on achieving her bankai.  

The concept that I constructed back in March of 2021 is similar in concept to the fourth idea in this linked video – with some differences. First, upon the release of her bankai, a small circle of fire rapidly extends outwards in all directions, quickly reducing everything in its path to ashes – for without fire there are no ashes. The new finer ashes of Haineko are quickly dispersed into the air and are controllable just as they are within her shikai. While Haineko’s ashes can be easily blasted/blown away in the shikai state, this is still possible but due to the volume of ashes it can reassemble or build back much faster than in her shikai. Most enemies at this point will assume that her bankai is just a glorified display of her shikai and won’t take her actions seriously. After all, she’s fighting without a sword.

But this is where the truly sinister part of the bankai comes into play, for the whole-time that she has had her bankai released, her enemy has been breathing in the ashes. The longer her enemy is enveloped within Haineko’s ashes the more deadly her bankai becomes in the long run; for all she needs to do is snap her fingers and her ashes will violently rip out from her enemy’s body. This essentially could be a one-hit kill depending on the individual’s strength, durability, and depending on the length of times they have been breathing her ashes. Additionally, this action can be compounded upon, the stronger the individual, the snap could simply begin to rip apart their lungs, making it so the longer they continue they’ll eventually choke upon their own blood, if she doesn’t snap her fingers again and end their suffering. This is also a slight callback and play on Gin’s bankai, that a piece of Shinso can poison an unsuspecting enemy due to its ability to turn into ashes/particles for a split second.  

Now, there are some limitations and some hinderances to her bankai – until she has gained full mastery over it the space in which she can burn is limited to around 50 yards. However, the ashes are not limited to that space, they can and do travel with her. However, the biggest issue with her bankai is that it is not limited to affecting just enemies, it also affects friends and herself. Once she has mastery, she could be able to differentiate between who is affected but until then friend or foe would be at risk. As for her, the effects of her bankai are minor even prior to mastery, unless she is enveloped within the ashes for an extremely long period of time.

The reason I love this concept for Rangiku is that it is a literal smokescreen. Rangiku is so often dismissed due to her outward nature of laziness, but not when it comes to her fights. She is serious, she is a tactician, she’s strong, capable and shouldn’t be counted out. Her bankai would be dismissed as nothing of importance, not strong, not dangerous, but where as her serious, capable, destructive, powerful nature is hidden behind a lazy bombshell – so too is her bankai’s ability!

My Hero Superman AU; Reign of the Multiversal Supermen by @itsupermanti, Part 4 Shazam; Earth’s Mightiest Mortal

(Artwork by Asbwood on Pinterest)

Shazam(voiceover as he is shown flying over the ocean): My name is Denki “Kon-El” Kaminari-Midoriya, the second son of Superman and Wonder Woman. I am Shazam, Earth’s Mightiest Mortal!

Shazam(voiceover as we see that he is flying behind his father and brother along with): The man in a blue costume and red cape with an “s” on his chest is my father, Hisashi, Superman and the guy in a blue jacket and black pants with his own red cape and the same symbol is my genetic template, my brother Izuku.

Shazam(voiceover as we see Supreme and Hyperion flying alongside them): The guys with white and brown hair are Supreme and Hyperion respectively. They came from other Earths through portals created by a malfunctioning Motherbox.

We then see four aircraft following behind them. A glowing green spacecraft, a construct made and piloted by the Green Lantern Haruto and his daughter Momo, who are transporting Martian Manhunter, the an amazed Invincible and an astonished Utopian.

A jet black supersonic aircraft, the Batwing piloted by Batman, Enji Todoroki, co-piloted by the new Batman, Shouto Todoroki, with the second Robin, Kota Izumi Yaoyozoru-Todoroki, in one of the two passenger seats.

The final aircrafts are sleek, silver prototype aircrafts known as a Javelins, designed and commissioned by Principal Nezu to assist the Justice League as means of transportation. The first Javelin is Piloted by Wonder Woman, with Troy acting her mother’s Co-Pilot, transporting the remaining members of the Justice League, including their latest member All Might, as well as pro heroes Best Jeanist, Hawks, Kamui Woods, a starstruck Mount Lady, an annoyed Sir Nighteye, the Sentry, and the restrained Evil Supermen, Homelander and Paragon, and the cooperative Brandon Breyer(Brightburn) and Omniman.

The second Javelin is Piloted by former 1-A student, Mineta Minoru, and is being Co-Piloted by Green Arrow(Shinso), transporting Classes 1-A and 1-B, the young protege sidekicks Supergirl, Shazam Jr. and Teen Lantern, the UA Big Three, Mei Hatsume, a large majority of UA’s staff with Principal Nezu riding in Eraserhead’s scarf, and the Powerpuff Sisters.

Shazam(voiceover): We’re heading to I-Island to rendezvous with David and Melissa Shield, two of the brightest minds on Earth, before heading to Dad’s Fortress of Solitude. If any group of people are able to figure out what we’ll need to send these “supermen” back to their Earths, it’ll be them and Hatsume.

Meanwhile, in the hidden lab that once held Bizarro;

We see the scarred clone with a face full of annoyance as Dr Garaki is conducting tests on the clone in an attempt to understand why his powers were the opposite of Superman’s own.

Dr. Gariki(using his quirk to scan Bizarro): I don’t understand why BZ-AR0 ended up like this!

Bizarro(annoyed): Bizarro told you, ME NAME IS BIZARRO!!!

Chikara(while seated in a chair, letting his cybernetics fix the damage he sustained from Supergirl): Pardon him my friend, it appears that good doctor doesn’t like it when he doesn’t get the results he wants.

Dr. Garaki(turning to the cyborg): But the sample of blood used to create him came from the same batch the Meta Liberation Front used to grant you your new powers, so why aren’t yours reversed?

Chikara(raising his robotic right arm): Because of my cybernetics, and the fact that the blood and my ashes simply overwrote the host body’s own DNA.

Chikara(gesturing to Bizarro): Our friend here was grown from a pure sample of the alien’s blood, with the limited technology at your disposal, the cloning process was imperfect compared to when you created the Superboy’s siblings.

Dr. Garaki(heading towards another pod, containing a figure of a young teenager with no visible eyes and burned scars all over his face): Luckily, I have figured out how to properly clone “human” DNA.

Dr. Garaki(as the lump assumes a more human appearance of a teenage boy with long black hair and a scar running down his face from between his eyes and his left cheek): As well as preserving their quirks.

Dr. Garaki(grinning as the figure opens its eyes): Welcome back, Rokuro Nomura.

We then cut the members of the Justice League in their Javelin, with an amazed amount Lady smiling widely, drawing a curious look from fellow pro, Kamui Wood.

Kamui(with a raised brow): You’ve been beefing ever since we left UA, I’ve never seen this excited before, what’s up with you?

Mt Lady(turning to him): Because we’re running a co-op with the Justice League!

Mt Lady(turning to Wonder Woman): I idolized Superman and Wonder Woman when they first appeared, they were the ones who inspired me to become a hero!

Mt Lady(rubbing the back of her head sheepishly): I even met Superman up close when I was a kid, but I doubt he remembers it.

Inko hears the young pro’s last sentence, and sits up with a smirk.

Wonder Woman(addressing her daughter): Take over for a bit Mina, I just need to have a talk with one of our passengers.

Troy(nervously looking at her mother): Are you sure? We’ve only started my pilot training a few weeks ago.

Aquaman(sliding into Inko’s seat): Don’t worry, thanks to operating Atlantean vehicles I can help pilot.

Wonder Woman makes her way towards the pros, specifically Mount Lady.

Kamui(addressing Mount Lady): You really looked up to him, despite him being a vigilante?

Mt Lady(unaware of one of her ideals approaching her): Yeah, he was bigger than life, he didn’t just stop villains, he actually took the time to talk to people, inspire them.

Mt Lady(smiling fondly): He even inspired me, he told me that I could make a difference.

Wonder Woman(smiling fondly as she speaks up): And you did.

Wonder Woman(as Mt Lady turns to her in surprise): Yu Takeyama, right?

Yu(stunned that her idol knows her name): How?

Wonder Woman(amused): We DO remember you, we knew you very well.

Inko(removing her tiara and letting her hair and eyes turn green): And you knew us better then you realize.

Yu(shocked as she realizes who her idol was): Ms. Inko! You’re Wonder Woman?!

Kamui(confused): You recognize her?

Inko(explaining): My husband and I used to be her mentors when she worked at as a cub reporter for Musutafu news.

Inko(smiling with pride): She left when she got accepted into UA.

Yu(realization): Then that means…

Yu(eyes wide): Mr. Hisashi!

Inko(hand on Yu’s shoulder): He NEVER forgot those words you told him…

Flashback, 21 years ago;

Yu(young girl, conflicted as she addresses Superman after he had saved her life): You saved my life…

Superman(smiling at her as knees in front of her): Of course I did, everyone matters.

Yu(finding courage to confront her idol): But you held back, didn’t you?

Superman(shocked that she noticed): How?

Yu(pressing on): When that villain took me hostage and threw me off a roof, you rushed past him, knocked him out, and jumped after me.

Superman(confused): Of course I did.

Yu(continuing): But you caught up to me, and STOPPED before we hit the ground too hard.

Yu(as Superman’s eyes widen): You can fly, can’t you?

Superman(nodding nervously): Yes, I can.

Yu(confused): Then why don’t you?

Superman(sadly): Because quirks only ever give humans ONE power.

Yu(realizing): You’re afraid…

Superman(nodding): Yes…

Yu(continuing): You don’t want people to see you as not human.

Yu: Humans can punch, you punch harder. People can run, you run faster. People can jump, but you jump higher.

Yu(looking into her idol’s eyes): But you can do more, you can help people in ways no other pro can. You shouldn’t be afraid to show people who you are!

Yu(looking down): Not like me…

Yu(looking back up at a concerned Superman): I guess what I’m trying to say is…

End Flashback;

Yu(remembering the words she told Hisashi so long ago, with wide eyes): “I wish it was okay for you to fly”.

Inko(smiling fondly): He took those words to heart, and a week later when that plane suffered a blown engine…

Inko(as a younger Hisashi is shown running down the highway outside the city with his super-speed, before jumping into the air and flying like a bullet towards a falling plane): He flew.

Inko(voiceover as the young Hisashi uses his ice-breath to put out the burning engine, before guiding the plane down, and cutting the door open with his heat vision): He showed the world just what he was capable of.

Superman(flashback, smiling as he addresses the shocked passengers): I hope this doesn’t discourage any of you off flying. Statistically, it’s still one of the safest ways to travel.

Inko(as the young Superman is shown hovering in the air before the stunned civilians and pros who had arrived to help): He was afraid that people would be scared of him once they realized his powers made him stronger than everyone else.

Inko(as her younger self is shown in the crowd, smiling at Hisashi): But you gave him the push he needed to be himself.

Inko(as her younger self is seen stopping a robbery as Wonder Woman in her first costume, Tensei is shown evacuating people out of a burning building as the Flash, and Haruto is shown fighting off henchmen of the Meta Liberation Front as Green Lantern): And as a result, you inspired the rest of us.

Inko(as she smiles fondly at Yu): You HAVE made a difference, just by telling Hisashi your wish for the world to be more accepting.

Yu(confused): But Mr. Hisashi said that his quirk was Fire-Breath?

Inko(smirking): Oh that? You know how if you breath out hot air into an ice cube it melts? He just did that but with super-breath.

Yu(still stunned): So he hid his identity…

Yu(deadpan): With a pair of glasses?

Inko(grinning and keeping herself from laughing): The glasses helped keep people from realizing that his eyes were the same color as Superman’s, and his baggy clothes hid his muscles, and he also acted timid and clumsy while being hunched over.

Kamui(eyes wide): That actually worked?!

Nighteye(overhearing): Oh please, that can’t really be all he did.

Inko(grinning): He was just as shocked that no one ever noticed his resemblance, he figured that people just refused to believe that Superman even HAD a secret identity.

Nighteye(annoyed): He has all this power and he wastes time by pretending to be an ordinary man instead of always using it to help others?

Yu(realizing): People didn’t realize that he WANTED to feel human, so they never saw Superman whenever they looked at Mr. Hisashi from Musutafu News!

Inko(nodding her head as she holds up her tiara): Exactly, like how I kept people from realizing my mother was the hero Paragon by wearing my tiara.

Wonder Woman(as she puts her tiara back on, letting her hair turn black and her eyes blue): People never even realized that she was the Wonder Woman who worked with the Justice Society!

Wonder Woman(heading back to the pilot’s seat): Anyways, it’s great to see you again Yu. We’ll be arriving at I-Island soon. Maybe you can catch up with Hisashi while we prepare to head to the Fortress?

As Wonder Woman retakes the controls for the Javelin from Aquaman, we suddenly go back to Dr. Garaki’s lab.

The lab is shown to have been knocked into complete disarray as Cyborg Superman and Re-Destro walk back into the lab with an annoyed looks on their faces. Dr. Garaki is shown helping Parasite tend to a scowling Metallo who has several dents in his new armor, with Bizarro nowhere to be seen.

Cyborg Superman(turning from the broken pod towards Dr. Garaki in annoyance): What.Happened?

Dr. Garaki(straightening his coat as he stands up): Number Six regained his sense of consciousness, and ten minutes after you left he started banging on his pod, until he managed to break himself out.

Dr. Garaki(turning around to address the former Destro as Rikiya starts scanning the broken pod): We tried to assist him, but he started muttering about hearing a “tick”, and we would suddenly speed up and slow down.

Dr. Garaki(gesturing to the wrecked lab): Then he went mad and started trashing the place, demanding to know where a “Kazuho” was and stating that the “ticking” was getting louder.

Dr. Garaki: Bizarro tried to restrain him, but he took off out of the lab using “Overclock” and Bizarro raced off after him.

Dr. Garaki(voiceover as Bizarro is shown flying after a black and yellow blur that is leaving trails of lightning in its wake): Who knows where they might be now?

Cyborg Superman(turning towards his descendant): It would appear that we’ll have to clean up the good doctor’s mess.

Re-Destro(completing his scan of the pod): It would appear that with The Flash having regained his powers via what he calls “the Speedforce”, Number 6 unknowingly established an improper connection to it through “Overclock”.

Re-Destro(pressing a few more buttons on his gauntlet before turning to his ancestor): I’ve sent you the readings I took of the pod, you should be able to use them to track him down.

Re-Destro(as Chikara’s cybernetic eye flashes with the information): Your Kryptonian speed should allow you to keep pace with our young friend.

We then see an alley located with Tokyo’s Naruhata district, as a black and yellow blur with lightning darts into it and stops, letting the flying Bizarro zip past it.

Bizarro stops and looks around in annoyance, before flying off to look for his target elsewhere.

The blur is revealed to be the young man that was seen within the pod in the lab, wearing a black customs with silver lines throughout, with a yellow “v” shaped section running across his chest. This is Number 6, also known by the fake alias, Rokuro Nomura.

Rokuro(shaking as his voice is constantly speeding up and slowing down): Whowas thaaaaattttguy? Whathappened tttttttoooooo me?

Rokuro clutches the sides of his head as he tries to recall the last thing he can remember before he woke up in the pod. He remembers that he had tried to kill someone, he RIVAL*tick*. He remembered HER. He was trying to KILL the boy*tock*who had caught his master’s eye*tick*. He remembered the sweet song he heard her sing. He was going to die*tock*. He thought of Kazuho. HE WAS GOING TO TAKE *TICK* WITH HIM!!! He thought of the happy memories he made with her. HE WAS GOING TO PAY*TOCK*!!!

Rokuro(falling to his knees in pain as the lightning stops flowing around him): Who the hell is “he”?! Why can’t I remember him?!

Rokuro(screaming into the sky): WHERE THE HELL IS THAT TICKING COMING FROM?!?!?!

Rokuro(standing up as the imagine of the one person he CAN remember appears in his mind): KAZUHO!!! She has to know what’s going on!

Rokuro uses “Overclock” to take off running out of the alleyway, startling some civilians and pros who were walking past.

Civilian(confused by the blur of lightning): Was that the Flash?

Pro Hero(just as confused): I though he operated in Musutafu, what’s he doing here?

As the gathered civilians and pros wonder just exactly what the blur they saw was, the clouds in the sky gather and it starts raining. A lightning bolt strikes a random rooftop and leaves behind a young man in a simple white shirt, jeans and shoes, with a makeshift red cape and a metal arm.

Meanwhile, we see our heroes arriving on I-Island as they are greeted by a young woman with blonde hair wearing glasses, and a man with brown hair and a beard also wearing glasses standing beside her. These people are Melissa Shield and her father, David Shield.

Superman(addressing the father/daughter duo as he lands softly, as if he was simply taking a step): Thanks for agreeing to help with this David.

Superman(walking to them as the others land as well): You to Melissa.

David(shaking Hisashi’s hand): It’s the least I can do to make up for my foolish mistake.

Melissa(running up to Izuku and hugging him, before pulling away): Is it true that Uncle Might is healed?

Shazam(landing besides them): You can ask him yourself.

Melissa(turning to Denki): Kaminari, is that you?

Shazam(nodding his head): Yeah, long story short, me and Mina are actually clones of Izuku, but we have more of our mom’s DNA, making our powers different from his.

Before Melissa can begin asking her next question, a small blue blur races from one of the Javelin’s and stops in front of her, before embracing her in a hug.

Supergirl(hugging Melissa): AUNTIE MEL!!!

Melissa(laughing as she hugs Eri back): Hey there sweetie, I see that the news was right about there being a Supergirl.

Melissa(as she sees Ochaco walking towards them with Jirou and Mina in her Amazonian form): Ashido, what happened to your pink skin? You look like Izuku.

Shazam(as Mina bags her bracelets together): SHAZAM!!!

Melissa(stunned after seeing two lightning bolts strike Denki and Mina, reverting them into their normal depowered selves): Wha?

Mina(rubbing that back of her neck with her normal pink skin and hair with her horns): That’s magic for ya…

Denki(sheepishly with his normal blond hair): It’s a long story.

Jirou(chuckling as she crosses her arms): Ain’t that right.

Denki(voiceover as he agrees with his girlfriend while looking at the stunned look on Melissa’s face): She’s right. What a life you have now Denki…

The scene goes back to Tokyo, as we spot a young woman with pink hair and an eyepatch walking down the street. This is Kazuho Haneyama, formerly the vigilante known as Pop Step, and colleague of Knuckleduster.

She is simply going about her business, and decides to cut across an alley to get to her home. As she walks along the alley, she is suddenly surrounded by thugs.

Thug 1: Hand over your purse, and things don’t get ugly, understand?

Thug 2(nervous): Are sure about this? I heard that the Flash was seen running around Tokyo.

Thug 3(annoyed): Relax, last I heard he was that League of his on special business.

Thug 1: Hand it over lady.

Kazuho(getting into a defensive stance): Like I’d just do what you tell me to.

However, before either party can make the first move, a blur of red lightning races into the alleyway, subduing the thugs in an instant!

Rokuro(as he appears to be vibrating in place with lightning radiating off of him): STAYAWAYFRRRROOOOOOMMMMMHER!!!

Kazuho(stunned by the appearance of her dead “friend”): Rokuro?

Rokuro(turning to her as Overclock’s effects start dying down): Kazuho! Thank goodness I found you!

Rokuro(walking towards her with a panicked look in his eyes): I woke in a lab I didn’t recognize I can’t remember how I got there! YOU HAVE YO HELP M-

The young man is caught off by the sound of a gun going off as he suddenly clutches his shoulder, revealing that one of the thugs had regained consciousness and had used their quirk to fire a bullet from his hand, striking his shoulder from behind.

Rokuro(turning around as his eyes start glowing red): YOU!!! YOUJUSTTRIEDTOKILLME!!!

Rokuro(as he rushes the thug and punches him at hypersonic speeds): NOONECCCCCCAAAAAAANNNNNNTOUCHMEEEE!!!

Rokuro then starts hearing the ticking he heard before getting louder, forcing him to stop and fall to his knees.

Thug 2(getting up and seeing what happened to the group leader): You’re not the Flash, who are you?

Rokuro(clutching his head): WHERE IS THAT SOUND COMING FROM?!?!?!

Kazuho(confused): What sound?

Rokuro(screaming to the sky): CAN’T YOU HEAR THE TICKING?!?!?!

Thug 2(taking this time to run out of the alley): Forget this, I’m out of here!

Kazuho(approaching Rokuro as he starts calming down): What happened to you? You left behind lightning like the Flash.

Rokuro(turning to her confused): Who?

Kazuho(explaining): The Flash, the Fastest Man Alive.

Rokuro(getting angry): O’CLOCK’S THE FASTEST HERO!!!

Kazuho(frightened): Flash’s just as fast as he was.

Kazuho(pulling up a video on her phone): See?

Rokuro looks at the video he is shown. The video is of Tensei chasing after a group of thugs split up into two cars. Flash bursts forward and dismantles the first car, leaving the thugs in it tied up among the remains. He vibrates his hand into the engine of the second car and disconnects the battery, causing the car to turn off and cruise to a halt before a police blockade.

Flash is then shown running around a tornado in the opposite direction, causing it to unravel. He is also shown racing up the side of a building and across water.

Rokuro is gazes at the Flash’s costume and notes how it similar to O’Clock’s own, but with more armor. He especially pays close attention to the yellow lightning bolt emblem on his chest, almost as if it was mocking him, taunting him that Flash could outrun lightning itself.

Rokuro turns gets an idea and sees a broken mirror laying in the alleyway. He walks towards it, leaving Kazuho to look at him in confusion. He then jabs his right fingers into the wound on his left shoulder with a hiss and removes it. He then uses his own blood and the mirror to draw the same lightning bolt emblem as Flash’s on his own chest. Once he is down, he uses his bomber cells to heal his wound, and turns to face Kazuho, making her gasp at the reversed lightning bolt on his chest.

Rokuro(grinning darkly): There can only be ONE Fastest Man Alive, and that’s me!

We then see Cyborg Superman meet up with Bizarro and they begin tracking Rokuro’s Speedforce energy, until they are stopped by a young voice calling out to them.

???(arrogantly): HEY, METALHEAD, CHALKFACE!!!

The two turn around and spot the young man that had appeared on a rooftop early, glaring at them with a sneer.

Cyborg Superman(confused): And who are YOU suppose to be?

???(annoyed): I’m Tetsuo, head of the Akira Gang. Now what is this place?

Bizarro(confused): This place Tokyo.

Tetsuo(shocked): That’s impossible! This place looks nothing like Tokyo.

Cyborg Superman(annoyed): We have no time argue with you child.

Cyborg Superman(turning around): We have much better things to do.

Tetsuo(enraged): Don’t you dare turn your back on me!

Tetsuo charges towards the Cyborg, throwing out his arm for a punch, only for his punch to be caught by the Pseudo Kryptonian.

Cyborg SM(eyes narrowed): Begone child.

He then throws Tetsuo towards the ground like a missile.

Tetsuo(within the smoke from his impact): I’ll kill you…

Tetsuo(racing towards Cyborg Superman in anger): I’LL KILL YOU!!!

This time however he is intercepted by Bizarro.

Bizarro(eyes narrowed): We no have time for child!

Tetsuo(getting madder): I’m not a child! I MAKE THE RULES HERE!!!

Just as Tetsuo starts trying to rip buildings out of the ground, Bizarro shoots his ice-vision right at Tetsuo’s face, breaking his concentration, and causing him to fall back to the ground.

Just as Tetsuo breaks the ice encasing his head, he is bombarded by a high speed barrage of punches all across his body. The barrage ends to show that Rokuro was the one to have delivered them, now wearing a makeshift black cowl that is yellow down the middle and with lightning bolt ear pieces on the sides.

Rokuro(vibrating in place, with a grin and glowing red eyes): Nnnnnooooooottttttfastenough!

Tetsuo(glaring at him annoyed): WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!

Rokuro: I’m Zoom, The Fastest Man Alive, and I’m taking you down!

Tetsuo(gritting his teeth): Like you could even hurt me!

However before Tetsuo can charge at the speedster, he senses what to him appears to be another Esper, just as powerful as him!

Tetsuo(turning towards the ocean): Another Esper? Here?!

Tetsuo(taking off towards the presence he felt as a bolt of lightning): I’LL PROVE I’M THE TOP DOG!!!

Zoom(seeing his opponent turns into a lightning bolt): HEY, I’M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU YET!!!

Zoom takes off after the young Esper, and just as Bizarro prepares to fly after them, he is stopped by Cyborg Superman.

Cyborg Superman(ordering Bizarro): Wait, let us see just what they are both capable of my friend.

They then fly after the two young men. We then cut to I-Island, with Melissa being told of everything that had happened recently to the young heroes-in-training.

Melissa(stunned): So magic really does exist?!

Denki(voiceover): That reaction might starting getting old pretty soon.

Melissa(looking towards the restrained Supermen): And those guys came from other universes due to a malfunctioning piece of alien technology?

Izuku(nodding his head with Eri on his shoulders): Yeah, we’re heading to the fortress to find a way to send them back.

Ochaco: Superman figured that you and David could help figure out how to do so.

Denki(voiceover as he suddenly feels a jolt of energy and turns around): What the hell is that?! It feels like pure unrestrained power!

Izuku(looking around as he senses it to): Does anyone feel that?

Denki: Something’s coming!

Denki(shouting with heroic intent): SHAZAM!!!

Seeing her brother transform, Mina does the same and clashes her bracelets together, and in two bolts of lightning, they become Shazam and Troy.

Manhunter(addressing everyone present): I sense a malicious presence heading this way!

Shazam suddenly turns towards the sky and sees a lightning bolt come out of the sky and turn into a young man with a cape.

Tetsuo(angrily looking around): WHERE IS HE?!?!?! WHERE IS THAT ESPER HIDING?!?!?!

Superboy(stunned as he realizes what this young man is): Another one?!

Suddenly a blur races past them and up a nearby building before jumping off and towards the figure in the sky.

Zoom(with an insane glint in his cowled eyes): THEREYOUARE!!!

Zoom tackles the boy out of the air and to the ground, but before I can proceed to pummel him, Flash and Kid Flash race up, grabbing his arms and pulling him away.

Flash(looking at Zoom in confusion): Who are you and why are you dressed like O’Clock?

Zoom(glaring at the brothers): I’m Zoom, andI’mtheFastestManAlive!!!

Tetsuo gets up and turns towards Superboy and Supergirl, realizing that they were the Espers he was sensing.

Tetsuo(pointing at them with his metal arm): You two!

Tetsuo(sneering at them): You have the same symbol as that chromedome!

Superboy(trying to reason with him): We don’t want any trouble.

Superboy(raising his arms in an attempt to pacify Tetsuo): Just relax and we can help you get back to your world.

Tetsuo(seeing those gestures as signs of being looked down upon): DON’T YOU DARE LOOK DOWN ON ME!!!

Tetsuo starts racing towards Izuku, only to be grabbed by Sentry, Supreme and Hyperion.

Sentry(holding Tetsuo’s metal arm): Trust me kid, you don’t want this.

Tetsuo(pushing them away with his psychokinesis): GET OFF OF ME!!!

Bakugo(eyes wide with realization): Oh my god, is that what I REALLY sound like that?!

Tetsuo(grabbing Sentry by the face and reading his mind): I can feel that you hold yourself back.

Tetsuo(pulling on Sentry’s mind): LET THAT POWER OUT!!!

Sentry(screaming as he loses control of himself): AAAAHHHH!!!

Tetsuo doesn’t realize what he’s done, until he is pushed back by the Sentry’s power as he assumes a monstrous form that appears as if it is made up of darkness. This is the Void.

Void(looking around): I’M FREE!!!

Void(looking at Tetsuo): You foolish boy, allow me to show you my gratitude!

Before Void is able to advance towards Tetsuo, he is tackled by Superman and Wonder Woman.

Shazam(turning towards Jirou): Get everyone to safety!

Hyperion(glaring at Tetsuo): Look at what you did!

Invincible(with the pro heroes, stunned): WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!?!

Uravity(running up): That’s the Void.

Uravity(looking up to see Superman and Wonder Woman combating the monster): Apparently it’s Sentry’s darker thoughts manifested as an evil personality, with the power of a black hole.

Earphone Jack(addressing the pros): We have to get everyone to safety!

Just as everyone is about to start evacuating the civilians, three blurs race past them. The blurs stop to reveal themselves as Tensei, Tenya and Rokuro. Tensei takes a closer look at Rokuro’s costume and his eyes widen in realization.

Flash(as he and Tenya pin Zoom against a wall): I recognize that costume. You were the second O’Clock!

Zoom(sneering at Flash): Iam,thatmakesmetheeeffffaaaaassssssttteeessstmaaaaaaaanalive!

Kid Flash(feeling something off about Zoom’s vibrations): Something’s wrong!

Zoom then suddenly and without warning phases through their holds, startling even himself.

Zoom(staring at his blurred vibrating hands before turning to the brothers with a feral grin): Icandothesametrick!

Zoom suddenly runs and grabs the brothers before they can even react, his movements resulting in a powerful sonic boom that shatters nearby windows and created craters with every step he took.

Just as Zoom pushed them both against the wall of a building, the ground shook beneath them, causing Zoom to lose his hold, as Tetsuo had forced Superboy into the ground with enough force to crater the reinforced concrete.

Tetsuo(trying to penetrate Izuku’s field): I’LL SHOW WHO’S TOP DOG AROUND HERE!!!

Superboy(reinforcing his field): You don’t understand, this isn’t your earth!

Tetsuo is then pushed off of Superboy by Supergirl and the Powerpuff girls who then proceed to bombard them with their heat vision, only managing to damage Tetsuo’s makeshift metal arm before he retaliates with his own psionic blast, damaging the buildings around them as he repairs his arm.

Red Riot(seeing a building about to tip over as he runs towards it): There are people in there!

Kirishima runs until he is underneath one damaged load bearing support and braces his hardening as strong as he can and catches the building, acting as a brace to keep it from falling the rest of the way.

Red Riot(straining under the weight): HELP THEM!!! ACK!!!

As the heroes help evacuate the building, Superboy lands a high speed blow on Tetsuo, who proceeds to knock Izuku towards a building. Izuku catches himself before he could damage the building, but Tetsuo then grabs him by the throat and forces him through.

Hyperion and Supreme are sent crashing into two separate buildings by the Void, causing those buildings to start falling as well. Mt Lady grabs one of them, keeping it from collapsing on top Hyperion, while Invincible flies over and grabs the building Supreme crashed into.

Invincible(addressing Supreme and Hyperion): GO!!! WE GOT THIS!!!

The speedsters recover and Zoom starts racing right for Flash, only to be intercepted by Shazam Jr.

Shazam Jr(knocking Zoom away): I’m fast to!

Blossom recovers from Tetsuo’s psionic blast and sees all the rubble falling from the buildings due to Void’s battle with Superman and Wonder Woman. She then rushes off and starts getting struggling civilians to safety along with her sisters, just as the Zoom enters a high speed battle with the Iida brothers and Katsuma, eventually leading onto the surface of the ocean around them, surprising Tenya.

Kid Flash(as he sees Zoom take off onto the surface of the ocean): HE CAN RUN ON WATER?!?!?!

Flash(rushing past his brother): SO CAN WE!!!

Shazam Jr(landing besides Tenya as Tensei runs atop the surface of the ocean as soon he touched the water’s surface): You just need to stay above 70 mph.

Kid Flash(looking at him in confusion): How do you know that?!

Shazam Jr(flying after Tensei and Rokuro): Wisdom of Solomon!

As Tenya joins his brother and Katsuma in fighting the rogue speedster, we see Denki join his parents in fighting the Void, managing to land a lightning enhanced blow on the monster that causes it to stagger.

Shazam(voiceover as he continues landing blows): This is unbelievable! This thing was able to take mom and dad’s blow like they were nothing!

Shazam(voiceover as he prepares to deliver a blast of magic lightning from his eyes): But let’s see if it can take magic!

However before Denki is able to deliver his blast, the Void is knocked out of his hold by the Utopian, who grabbed the Void from behind.

Utopian(struggling to hold Void): We have to get him out of here, before he does anymore damage!

Shazam(voiceover as he charges lightning into his fists): He’s right, the island can’t take much more!

Shazam(rushing towards them with his parents behind him): LET’S SEE HOW YOU LIKE THIS!!!

The Void manages to break free from the Utopian’s hold, and sends the elderly hero flying into the ground, only to get hit a punch that strikes with the might of the gods, sending him flying upwards into space.

As Shazam, Superman, Wonder Woman, Supreme and Hyperion fly into Earth’s outer atmosphere after the Void, we see the Utopian crash into the island with enough force to breach the multiple reinforced layers of hull until he breaks through into the ocean beneath the island.

Brandon(feeling the ground beneath his feet shift): What’s happening?!

David(checking an alert on his tablet): THE HULL’S BEEN BREACHED!!!

Brandon(Paragon, cuffed along with Homelander): What do you mean, “the hull”?

All Might(catching some rubble from falling on top of some civilians): IT MEANS THE ISLAND IS SINKING!!!

Aquaman(running towards the hole Sheldon made): I got this!

Homelander(frightened as Orin plummets into the water): AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, “OCEANMAN”?!?!?!

Homelander(turning to an eerily calm Nezu): LET ME GO RIGHT NOW!!! THERE’S NO WAY I’M DYING WITH YOU PATHETIC-

Sheldon’s unconscious body is tossed up from the hole in the ground, and the island rumbles as it starts righting itself.

Homelander(stunned as the island starts rising up): -people…WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?!

Ground Zero(running up with a group of kids, with a panicked look on his face): WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON NOW?!?!?!

Nezu(smirking from his place on Midnight’s shoulder): THAT would be King Orin holding up the island.

Everyone who heard what he just said: WHAT?!?!?!

Homelander(shocked): HOW?!?!?!

Nezu(turning to the evil “superman”): Atlanteans’ bodies are able to withstand the pressure of the deep sea, as a result they are incredibly strong.

Omniman(while carrying a recovering Utopian towards them): There’s more to this, isn’t there?

Nezu(grinning): As a member of the royal bloodline, King Orin was trained to peak Atlantean condition, he once stopped a blow capable of decimating a continent with his bare hands!

Earphone Jack(looking upwards as Denki and the others fly into space after the Void with a worried look on her face): Be careful up there you idiot, you still owe me a date.

Troy is seen assisting her brother and niece in fighting Tetsuo, landing a backhand with her shield and a slash across his chest with her sword.

Tetsuo(grabbing his chest in pain): AAAARGH!

This attack leaves the arrogant Esper wide open to an uppercut from Superboy, sending him into orbit.

Izuku flies up after him, but before Eri and Mina can fly after them, Ochaco flies up to them.

Uravity(as she reaches them): THE HULL’S BEEN BREACHED!!!

Troy+Supergirl(shocked): WHAT?!?!?!

Uravity: Aquaman’s keeping the island from sinking, but he can’t hold it for long.

Supergirl(flying downwards): WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!!!

Uravity(gazing up after Izuku, knowing that he can hear her): Take him down Izu…

Uravity(flying after her daughter): I know you can!

Troy(as she flies after Ochaco and her niece): You better come back big bro. I still enjoy having you as a brother, and Eri and Ochaco need you!

As the three fly into the water to assist the king, we see Cyborg Superman and Bizarro hovering at a distance, observing the chaos that is unfolding.

Cyborg Superman(turning towards Zoom’s high speed battle): It would appear that the Doctor’s little experiment has ended up much stronger than he was before.

Bizarro(gazing towards the island): Aquaman holding island up.

Cyborg Superman(turning to his fellow doppelgänger in amusement): I expected you to call him, “blond fish man”.

Bizarro(turning to face him with his glowing blue eyes): “I” am learning…

Cyborg Superman(grinning): Splendid! It appears your Kryptonian physiology is adapting and compensating for the gaps in your development! Good…

Cyborg Superman(gazing upwards): Keep an eye on things down here, if the boy ends up needing help, grab him and take him back to the lab.

Bizarro(raising a brow): Where you going?

Cyborg Superman(voiceover as Tetsuo is shown leaving Earth’s atmosphere): Why, the Final Frontier of course.

Tetsuo recovers from the uppercut and looks around, seeing that he stopped within range of the moon.

Tetsuo then grins madly as he prepares to punch a crater in the moon, having first hand experiences of what such an action would do to Earth’s environment.

However, just as he prepares to deliver a punch, Superboy flies up from behind him, and punches Tetsuo unto the moon. Before the Esper can begin to understand what happened, the young Kryptonian hybrid then delivers a punch with enough force to make Tetsuo’s body dig a hole THROUGH the moon coming out the other side, with Izuku following him through, using his telekinesis to force the hole closed behind him, lest the Earth’s gravitational field suffer from the damage.

Shazam(voiceover as he sees his brother’s feat while he helps battle the Void): You know, I honestly keep forgetting that we can do stuff like THAT!

Cyborg Superman(silently watching Izuku’s feat while looking at his own hands): Fascinating…

Meanwhile, on I-Island;

Kirishima can feel his muscles ache from having to hold up the building, with his classmates from 1-A and 1-B rushing to get everyone out. Tetsutetsu even joined him in holding up the building, and Omniman helps hold up another building, and Blossom holds up another as her sisters rush everyone out.

Hawks(flying people out through a window): HOLD ON KID, WE’RE ALMOST THERE!!!

Real Steel(straining): Can’t…hold…it…

Red Riot(straining): Just…a little…MORE!!!

Real Steel(feeling his concentration break): I…can’t…

Tetsutetsu then reverts back to normal and falls unconscious from the strain, leaving Kirishima to hold up the building.

Red Riot(feeling his muscles ache even more): AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!

Red Riot(feeling the weight being lifted off of his shoulders): Huh?!

Kirishima them looks behind him and sees a man wearing a red, white and blue customs with a star on his chest holding up the building much easier than him. The young hardening user’s eyes widen in shock as he recognizes just who the man is.

Red Riot(stunned): Y-you’re…CITIZEN STEEL!!!

Citizen Steel(smiling at Kirishima): You were doing a great job boys!

???(green glow coming from behind Kirishima): Now let us help you son!

Kirishima turns around and his eyes widen even further as his gaze lands upon a blonde man with a purple cape and mask, a glowing green ring, and a red shirt with the image of a Green Lantern on his chest, and a brown haired man wearing blue leggings, red boots, and red shirt with a yellow lightning bolt, and a silver helmet with yellow wings. These men are the Silver Age Green Lantern and Flash, Alan Scott and Jay Garrick.

Jay(smiling as he helps Kirishima to his feet): The Justice Society is here to help!

Mt Lady continues to hold up her building, this time with assistance from Atom Smasher, with Hourman and Wildcat assisting Kamui with evacuating the building. Dr Fate uses his magic to create a new support beam for the building that Invincible was holding up. Hawkman and Hawkgirl fly down carrying civilians in their arms and on their backs. As they touch down, they catch sight of an out of breath Hawks, and when he looks up at them, the three of them look at each other in shock.

Hawkwoman(stunned by the pro’s wings): Another Thanagarion?!

Hawks(confused): A what?!

Hawkman(stepping in front of his wife): Focus, save people first, questions later.

Jay(after getting the last bit of people out the building Kirishima was lifting): That’s the last of them!

Jay(looking around as Citizen Steel lets the building drop, and he walks out of the rubble unscathed): If you need me…

Jay(assuming a three point stance with lightning coursing around him): I’ll be helping deal with the rogue speedster.

Green Lantern(touching down just as Jay takes off onto the surface of the ocean, carrying a group of civilians in a baseball mitt construct): What are you all doing here?

Alan(carrying a group in an elevator construct letting off green flames): We came here as quickly as we could, Fate told us that something big was going to happen.

Alan(looking up): We also ran into HIM on our way here.

Momo looks up in the direction her senior was facing towards and spots a familiar black suit with a lightning bolt insignia and cape. This is the same man who had highjacked Izuku’s final exam.

Black Adam(eyes glowing with power): Where are they?!

Green Lantern(pointing straight up): By my estimates, probably somewhere within the Moon’s orbit.

Black Adam takes off into space with a crack of thunder.

Manhunter(approaching Alan): Aquaman still needs assistance holding up the island!

Before any of them can move to assist the King of Atlantis, the island shifts under their feet and Supergirl and her mother land before them, carrying Aquaman with them, with the King looking as if he hadn’t just been holding up an entire island for the last few minutes.

Batman(swinging down alongside his son, confused): Orin?! If you’re here…

Batman(finishing his father’s question): Then who’s holding up the island?!

Robin(over the comms): Dad, you might not believe this…

Batman(answering his comms): Robin? Where are you?

Robin: I went with Teen Lantern in order to reinforce some of the buildings’ weak spots with my hardening gel just like you and Grandpa, and then we saw Supergirl fly into the water and come back out with Aquaman.

Robin(as he is show on a construct platform made by Mahoro): As for who’s holding up the island…

Mina is shown lifting the island out of the water and into the air.

Batman(stunned by what he just heard): …

Green Lantern(looking at her boyfriend in concern): Shouto?

Batman(turning to his girlfriend): Mina is lifting the island into the air…

Eraserhead(having heard what Shouto just said): SHE’S WHAT?!?!?!

We then cut to space as the heavy hitters continue to do battle against the Void, while Izuku battles Tetsuo.

(Cue Marvelous by Brandon Yates)

Supreme lounges in for a punch, but his fist is caught and he is thrown into an oncoming Hyperion.

Void(taunting them): You can’t stand against the might of a thousand black holes!

Shazam(charging at him alongside his mother): You sure about that?!

The mother and son duo deliver a double punch hit charged with lightning, managing to harm the monster, allowing Hisashi to deliver a punch that pushes him back.

Shazam+Wonder Woman(charging in with lightning in their eyes): GODLY IMPACT!!!

Void recovers enough to catch their punches and pushes past the pain inflicted by the surge of divine lightning.

Void(snarling at Inko): Enough of this!

Void throws Inko further into space, with Hisashi flying after her.

Void(snarling at Denki): BEGONE!!!

Void then throws Denki in the direction of the sun, only to end up being tackled by Black Adam!

Black Adam(glaring with lightning coursing in his eyes): Surrender monster, or fall before the might of Black Adam!

Void(grinning madly): Bring it!

As the two rush at each other, Denki stops himself from flying any further, and just as he is about to take off back towards the fight, he stops.

Shazam(voiceover as he looks at his hands as he starts to feel much stronger): What is this?

Shazam(clenching his fists): I FEEL STRONGER THAN EVER!!!

Shazam(turning around as he realizes that he can feel the warmth of the sun, his eyes widening): It’s the sun! I’m absorbing the solar radiation!

Shazam(rocketing off as his eyes start glowing brighter than ever): Time for round two!

Izuku is shown matching Tetsuo blow for blow almost effortlessly, with both of their power growing stronger as their battle goes on!

Superboy(grunting in annoyance): Can’t you just stop and let us help you?!

Tetsuo(ignoring all reason): I DON’T NEED ANYONE’S HELP!!!

Void tanks a punch from Adam and punches him back, only for Adam to be caught by a recover Supreme and Hyperion, just as Shazam goes flying past them all and delivers a hyper charged punch onto the creature of darkness.

Void(glowing red with power): FEEL MY POWER!!!

Shazam(glowing with solar radiation and divine magic): FEEL A POWER EQUAL TO HEAVEN!!!

As the two deliver punches that radiate great power, Adam, Supreme and Hyperion are interrupted before they can assist Denki in his clash as Cyborg Superman makes his presence known.

Cyborg Superman(grinning at them): Now now, if you all really want to fight someone…

Cyborg Superman(rushing at them as his right hand grows talons): Fight me instead!

During his clash again Void, Denki manages to outpace him and begins delivering more blows, knocking him back more and more.

Hisashi and Inko come flying back in, with Inko removing her bracelets to access her full power!

The three manage to do much more damage to the Dark Sentry, causing bits of his shadowed self to seemingly crack and reveal his noble half, the Sentry.

Void(roaring as he can feel his control slipping): NO!!! I WON’T GO BACK!!!

Meanwhile, Izuku begins to notice something wrong with Tetsuo’s metal arm.

Superboy(scanning the metal appendage with his x-ray vision): Wait, your arm! It’s-

Tetsuo(punching Izuku across the face): SHUT UP!!!

The punch merely pushes Izuku’s head to one side, and causes the metal arm to shatter and break apart, revealing the disgusting mound of deformed flesh underneath!

Tetsuo(panicked as he sees what happened to his arm): WHA?!?!

The deformed flesh then starts pulsating and begins creating tendrils of flesh that quickly overtakes Tetsuo, much to his panicked shock.

Tetsuo(screaming in fear): NOOOO!!!

Superboy(eyes widening in shock as he sees what the arrogant Esper has become): By Rao…

Izuku finds floating before him, a massive misshapen creature with throbbing veins throughout its “body”. It opens its eyes, and lets out a roar.

Superboy(clutching his head as he starts hearing Tetsuo’s thoughts in his head): ARGH!!!

Tetsuo(within Izuku’s mind): Please…Help me…It hurts…so much…

Izuku’s eyes widen as he hears those words, and begins moving and dodging the tendrils of flesh come flying after him, moving towards his family as they almost end their battles against Void.

Shazam(seeing what happened to Tetsuo): WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

Eventually the fleshly appendages grab a hold of Izuku, as well as Hisashi, Inko, Denki and Void. The creature then begins glowing with energy and seemingly explodes with a white flash, causing Cyborg Superman and his opponents to turn towards the light.

All Might(seeing the explosion of energy from I-Island): What is happening up there?

The glowing subsides to reveal that Denki had used his magic to counter and contain the energy and fires it at the Void before he could recover, finally reverting him back into the Sentry.

Tetsuo breaks free of what remained of the fleshy abomination and charges straight at Izuku, down an arm, only for Izuku to look him in the eyes

Superboy(as his eyes glow): I’m sorry…

Izuku flashes his heat vision into Tetsuo’s eyes, reducing his brain to ash.

Tetsuo(within Izuku’s mind as he dies): Thank…you…

Superboy(sighing heavily as he grabs Tetsuo’s body): You’re welcome…

(End song)

Sentry(breathing heavily as he regains control): THAT was intense!

Cyborg Superman(turning towards Supreme, Hyperion and Black Adam): This has been fun, but it appears that my objective of observing you all has been satisfied.

Cyborg Superman(flying off back to Earth just as before Adam could start charging at him): I bid you all adieu!

We cut back to I-Island as Mina is shown to still be carrying it above her head, now being assisted by the Powerpuff Girls, Uravity, Supergirl, and Invincible.

Troy(spotting an empty beach): Just a little more!

Troy(suddenly feeling the weight of the island being lifted out of her hands): Huh?

Supergirl(looking up and seeing her grandfather effortlessly carrying the island the rest of the way): Grandpa!

Buttercup(wide eyed as she and her sisters witness just how strong Hisashi is): Woah…

Blossom(amazed): He’s lifting it in such a way that the island isn’t breaking apart!

Meanwhile, up top;

All Might(concerned as he sees Izuku float down with Tetsuo’s dead body): What happened up there?

Superboy(looking down at Tetsuo’s corpse): His power grew out of his control. He released a big blast of energy that would of decimated us, but Denki used his magic to contain it and blasted the Void with it.

Superboy(looking up at Toshinori after kneeling down and placing the body on the floor): The power was like an addiction, it hurt him the more it grew uncontrollable, to the point that he begged for help, and I put him out of his misery…And he thanked me for doing so…

Superboy(as Eri and Ochaco hug him realizing that he’s feeling guilty): I tried to warn him, but he refused to listen to me…

Superman(landing besides his son after having set the island down on the beach): It’s not your fault son.

Superman(kneeling before Izuku): You’re right, that power was like a drug, and by the looks of it, he wanted more and more, until it ended up out of his control.

Superman(as Utopian looks at him comfort his son in shock): Power just makes us more of who we are, maybe that’s what caused him to turn into the abomination, his power made his appearance match his personality, but he rather died a man than a monster…

Superman(as Izuku looks up at him): The fact you even FEEL even the least bit guilty speaks so much about how different you are from him. It shows that you care.

Superman(standing up and gesturing towards Izuku, Denki and Mina): And that’s what makes you three different from him, your powers make you all into greater heroes, because you were already great people, and you all make proud because of it.

Superman(gazing down at Tetsuo): Wherever he’s soul ended up, I hope he found the peace he couldn’t find in life.

Sheldon is left deep in thought as he thinks over Hisashi’s words, and realizes that maybe Brandon WAS right, that he did hold too high of expectations for the younger heroes of his world.

Shazam(voiceover as his father finishes his little speech): And THAT is why he’s THE Superman.

Dr Fate(hovering towards them): Kal-El.

Hisashi(turning towards Fate): Dr Nelson.

Dr Fate(landing before them): I was informed of your plan to handle the so called, “Supermen”, but we came to I-Island for a different reason…

Dr Fate waves his hand and a golden staff appears floating besides him, with a sharp, curved spear head.

Dr Fate(as the staff starts glowing with energy): The Cosmic Staff appears to have chosen a new wielder.

Jay(arriving with the Iida Siblings and Katsuma with help from Haruto): So THAT’S why you brought us here.

Tensei(addressing Enji): We manages to take down that Zoom guy, but before we could grab him out of the water, that Bizarro guy showed up and snatched him before taking off just as Haruto found us.

Enji(cowl pulled off and a hand on his chin): So now there’s a “Mirror Superman” and a “Reverse Flash”…

Tensei(hand on his own chin): That title actually sounds pretty accurate…

Alan(addressing Nelson): So the rod finally chose a new wielder, after all this time?

Nelson(removing his helmet to reveal his gray hair and beard): Yes, and as to why it took so long…

Nelson(glancing at the staff as it begins spinning): It was waiting for its new wielder to realize that their dream…

Nelson(smiling as the staff stops spinning and flies towards a stunned Melissa): Can truly come true.

Melissa(shocked): What is this?

Alan(smiling softly): THAT is the Cosmic Staff, it belonged to Starman.

Jay(lifting his hat upwards a bit): Looks like it deemed you worthy to wield it kid.

As Melissa takes a hold of the staff, a small tear escapes her eye as she realizes that she now has the power to truly help people as she always wanted to.

Denki(talking to Jirou, with his hood down revealing the blond tips in his black hair): It was incredible! The sunlight actually empowered me like it does Izuku!

Jirou(hand on her chin): And you’re already as strong as Izuku is normally…

Denki(smiling widely): Exactly, it felt like I could move the Heavens themselves!

Jirou(looking at her boyfriend in amusement): Did you really just make that comparison?

Denki(offended): What, it’s true!

Jirou(poking her boyfriend in the ear with a snort): You dork!

Denki(smiling as he rubs his ear despite not having felt any pain): But I’m your dork.

David(looking into the breach through the island’s hull): This is’ll take a good while to fix…

Toshinori(reverting to his healed normal self and placing his hand on his friend’s shoulder): You’ll have this fixed in no time, I just know it.

Hisashi(approaching the two): Actually, might I have a suggestion.

Hisashi(as David turns to him): Why not make an orbital space station instead? The League can help build it.

David(hand on his chin): Interesting idea, a space station would definitely be much harder to break into.

Hisashi(smiling): It could also act as a hub for heroes to meet up and compare notes with the world’s top scientists, as well as help monitor events occurring around the world.

Toshinori(raising a brow): Like some kind of “Watchtower”?

Hisashi(grinning): Exactly! The League can even provide some teleporters and artificial gravity generators.

David(smiling at the two heroes): That actually sounds like a great idea! The Justice Society have their own base, so maybe the Justice League can have their own in the satellite!

Mina(talking with Kirishima): YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!

Kirishima(smiling sheepishly at her): Yeah, I held up a building!

Mina(eyes wide with worry): YOU COULD’VE DIED!!!

Kirishima(smirking): As if I’d let myself die like that! You’re not losing me that easily!

Kirishima(grinning): Besides, I’m not the one who lifted the ENTIRE island!

Mina(blushing as she pouts and crosses her arms): That’s different…I’m way stronger than you.

Kirishima(grinning as he flexes his arm): But I’m just as durable!

Hawks(seeing Hawkman and Hawkwoman walk towards him): Need something?

Hawkman(removing his helmet): We need to talk…

Nelson(walking towards Eri): There is also another reason why we came here.

Eri(looking at Dr Fate in confusion as he places his helmet back on): Why are looking at me like that?

Dr Fate(holding out a glowing hand towards Eri’s head): This may tingle for a little bit.

Eri(as Dr Fate places his hand on her head): Huh?!

Dr Fate(pulling his hands away from her head as Eri’s eyes widen in shock): Got you.

Eri(looking at him in shock): What did you do?!

Ochaco(looking at Eri in concern): What’s wrong sweetie?

Eri(starting to panic): I CAN’T HEAR NANA ANYMORE!!!

Toshinori(spits out the water he was drinking into Nighteye’s face): YOU COULD HEAR WHO?!?!?!

Dr Fate(holding up the glowing orb in his hand): Give me but a moment.

Dr Fate lifts up his other hand and holds it up to the orb as a series of ruins begin appearing within his hand before converging onto the orb. The orb then floats out of his hand and onto the ground before growing brighter and bigger in size. From the light, a figure starts to take shape, and the glow starts subsiding until in the orb’s place is a tall, black haired woman with blue eyes wearing a black bodysuit with yellow gloves, white boots and cape, and a red tailcoat around her waist, she also happens to look a lot like Inko’s Amazonian form, leaving many looking in shock as they recognize the woman. This is Inko’s dead mother, the former Silver Age Wonder Woman turned pro hero Paragon, Nana Shimura!

Nana(opening her eyes in confusion): What just happened?

Inko(eyes wide): M-mom?

Nana(eyes widen as she turns around and sees Inko looking at her in shock): Inko? You can see me?!

Inko(grabbing her mother in a hug): IT’S REALLY YOU!!!

Dr Fate(as Nana’s eyes widen as she realize that she has a body again): Welcome back old friend.

Denki(voiceover as he and his siblings watch their mother have a teary reunion with their revived Grandmother): You know, despite the fact that we’re currently dealing with multiversal visitors…

Denki(voiceover as his shocked face is shown): THIS still surprises me…

Denki(voiceover as we pan out to see I-Island laying upon the shores of a beach): Speaking of which…

Denki(voiceover as we see the Crime Syndicate looking over them in the distance): Isn’t there still an entire group we haven’t seen yet?

Denki(voiceover as a war hammer is picked up out of a crater amidst a thunderstorm): Hopefully, this adventure will wrap up pretty soon…

To Be Continued…

Next time; Part 5 Action Comics; Starring the House of El, Feat. the Justice League

Author’s note; Once again, thanks to @chapelseed for giving me the suggestion to make Melissa Stargirl. She is now the last eat in the newest generation of legacy heroes, succeeding Starman, she’ll be joined by her father David acting as Stripes.

I also introduced a revived Rokuro Nomura from “Vigilantes” as Zoom; The Reverse Flash, seeing as how he worshipped O’Clock, a pro with a super-speed like quirk, had yellow on their costume, was mentally unstable, and is able to slow down time like Hunter Zolomon to mimic super-speed. He’ll show up in further stories.

I also decided to bring back Nana using Dr Fate, since there is very LITTLE he can’t do. Nana will act as a bridge between the first and newer generations and as the equivalent of the pre-New 52 Wonder Woman.

Stay tuned for Part 5, where are heroes head to Fortress of Solitude and find themselves under siege by the Crime Syndicate! See ya all next time!

[generalfandomsofthefreak]

okay so (downs 2 shots of water because i don’t feel like actually drinking, but this is gonna have the unhinged energy of a drunk guy talking about conspiracy theories so it fits)

I read a post a few days ago, maybe more, about how a person in the bnha tag didn’t understand why people like Toga or why she’s redeemable, because of her fascination with blood and like of seeing people beat up

under a read more because it’s probably gonna be long and unhinged but

HERE WE GO

okay so, the thing about quirks in My Hero Academia is that quirks have such an impact on people, that doesn’t get explored properly in the manga at all, either because Horikoshi forgot to, or the impact was developed as he made the story and didn’t have time to put it in.

that doesn’t matter here, what matters is that i have feelings about this and you’re gonna read about them if you clicked the Keep reading

okay so, again Quirks aren’t like normal super powers in most comics, where people will either get them and be born with them and it’s kinda just like, an extra fun tidbit about them (from what i have experienced as an avid DC and X-Men reader)

Quirks have a fundemental say in how certain people act out their life and how they have to live if they wanna use their quirk or not. Some have it more than others, like Denki doesn’t have to live a much different life than people in real life, but then there are those like Shoji or Ojiro who are basically living with giant handicaps that change how they go about daily life to the smallest point of just getting new clothes.

it’s not touched on in the show a lot, I can think of 2 story points where the effect of quirks on someone’s life and entire being comes into play, and the first part is very briefly during the School Festival, when Jiro is self concious about her hobby, music, not helping with her quirk or hero work, unlike Sato who’s baking hobby allows him to experiment with a Sugar intake, or Ashido who’s dancing could help her fling her acid around more (in this case Sato’s example is much more what we’re going for, so let’s keep that one in mind)

This means, that if Sato wants to be a hero or wants to use his quirk for anything at all in the world, he has to eat sugar, he can’t use his super strength without it, so he has to eat sugar, and if he ever stops he can’t use his quirk.

In a similar vein, in relation to quirks affecting life, Bakugo probably sweats more than the average person, like a lot with the amount of Explosions he does during the show, he has to sweat BULLETS just on a normal day, we even see it once in a flashback with a giant sweatdrop like most people get after long intense workouts get, just casually dropping off his hand as a child Bakugo has to sweat more to use his quirk, so he must have bigger and more productive sweat glands

The second time, is during the League of Villains fight against the Meta Liberation army, when Toga is fighting Curious, Curious brings up how her fascination with blood is just part of her quirk, and a part of her that she cannot change

Toga is fascinated with blood, because Blood and the consumption of blood is written in her DNA because of her quirk. It is as essential to her life as sugar consumption is to Sato, AND IT SHOULD BE JUST AS NORMAL

The reason it’s not is because it’s blood, and society in BNHA has evolved biases against what is seen as “villanous quirks”, like Toga’s and Shinso’s.

her general mentality and unstableness comes from the entire world telling her she has to ignore that, she has to hide it away and act “normal” or she’s weird, othered and a Demon. Her own parents called her demonic and a deviant because she liked blood, instead of trying to find out why and finding a way for her to express that in a good way.

Toga is basically an autistic child who’s very sensitive, who’s been forced to mask her whole life or she’ll be called a demon for things she literally cannot control, because it is written into the fucking core of her being.

And that’s what i have to say about that, and I fucking love Toga

[the-small-cimarron-paparazzi]

Do I dare think it: Saralegui's old quest of spotting patterns and getting power and being actually excellent at what he does just think about the background made up of the first 4 volumes i say this as a fan but this is horror has factually surreptitiously ended when canon happens (actually when Carolia Arc happens)--and not even snapped but has achieved a visible ending though not one he's had in mind--and he actually has a lot of free time/agency on hand from being freed up from that box-finding-efficiency and that free time is the next journey.

Yes I say free time. Not even the freedom of making choices about the future outside of any influence from other wills and persons, which is secretly only getting to become my privately reached conclusion this year (slow reader. though I finally managed time-that-counts to finish the jpn canon! congrats to self) on where the canon might be headed.

Still can't get over how Yuu-chan's skillset is entirely order made from Shinou (which means Thematic and which means possibly Saralegui as the other side might also have something along these lines, which would very well likely be what has the chance to have been planned between Alazon and Gilbert. You can definitely see e.g. none of these 2 are thinking about other heirs: the twins being human-shinzoku/shinzoku-human is entirely plot-important, and also not just what the twins themselves have in mind cf. MA-Song.) which certainly means Shinou is really trying to do something unthinkable (not in a bad sense), like getting meta and not treating Yuu-chan's people skills as the amiable, peaceful bless it is but something to wash the world off what he doesn't think should be there with. Like what happens and is a bit likely to be taken seriously by Saralegui and maybe so forced into reality in MA-Box.

Somehow I don't think that's above or beneath Shinou. He would have very thinking-out-of-the-box-no-i-was-never-in-the-box capacities, being the shinso of mazokus/chaotic aligners + also being plausibly good at war (at least very drawn to war). Down the line it could very well be the reader's heart being torn between "OK Shinou does his war and not even in a way Kenja would object to so this is good...?" and "but kindness is not seen as kindness but so Used from somewhere above the board that's bound to be something not too good....?". With Yuu-chan's views and reactions being what might resolve the whole dilemma (I trust sensei).

But ofc all assumptions, and not to be taken too seriously. Except by me...this haunts me....

[quirkwizard]

Do you think that quirks caused more trouble than good?

Yes and no. Quirks did cause a lot of problems with the world. Quirks coming about threw Earth into the equivalent of a dark age where the world reached a technological and cultural standstill for over a century. It resulted in people undergoing horrific mutations that created a whole new social stigma, whether it was in the early years of having Quirks at all or the Heteromorph issues faced in the modern setting. It created a new axis for people to exploit one another, such as with All For One in his early days. Even after all that, when Quirks came into vogue, it created new metrics with which to judge others and individuals to judge themselves. It's not even like Quirks are allowed to improve the world at large because nobody is allowed to use their Quirk outside of hero work or crime. And that's only the broad strokes that I can tie directly to Quirks. If you are going solely by everything that happened because of Quirks, yeah, Quirks have caused a tremendous amount of harm.

However, I feel like it'd be reductive to blame Quirks exclusively. Because, at the end of the day, Quirks are merely tools. It comes down to how people decide to use or not use them that matters. It's always going to be the actions and will of people that are at the core of the issue with Quirks and the world that they made. And I'm not saying that to blame the people for having to deal with such an impossible task. Quirks are such a radical and uncontrollable change that it's a miracle that Earth managed to form any kind of cohesive, modern society instead of medieval-style fiefdoms ruled over by powerful Quirk users. And that only came about through a strong status quo and the hero system to keep everything in check. Society was just simply not ready to deal with Quirks and is still struggling to do so. Or at least, failed to properly consider them when trying to set the world back to some kind of order. It's just that they'd rather try and keep things to some kind of normalcy instead of trying to account for everything that could go wrong with the world.

[ya-boi-yamori]

Finally watched Restoration here's my thoughts!:

Soo first of all HOW DARE THEY NOT HAVE DONUT. All they could do is add him in a gag?? I mean it was funny, I love cheerleader Donut but they should have had him for the final episode. Especially for Sarge. I don't really know where he went Doc mentioned him but that's it. Were they not able to get Dan to come back? Donut could have at least showed up at the end and Simmons could have explained what happened idk. Also what exactly happened to Doc anyway? It wasn't until Carolina said something that I realized he was dead? I guess he died at Chorus so maybe everything past Chorus was non-cannon? I guess nothing really tied into the Blues and Reds or the Shinso Paradox. So I think that's the biggest problem is that it's a bit confusing I don't know what's canon and what's not and what we should take into account. Burnie did what he could with what he had but he could of worked it a bit better(*cough**cough* Donut) Also wish they explored Tucker a bit more like he went through a traumatic experience and they barely explored past him coming back, maybe he could of been the one to stall Meta so Tex could retrieve the AIs. It was also a bit slow overall. Ok enough gripe, I loved how it all wrapped around! Sarge's death literally broke me😭😭 At first I honestly thought it was going to be some sort of gag which I'm glad it wasn't (because I felt like that would have ruined the moment) Sarge going back to save Caboose, giving Simmons leadership and admitting he always liked Grif was so sweet, yes a bit sappy, but the titual RvB sweet. Also CHEX!! They are the Hetero couple ever!! I love them so much it's stupid! I'm so glad they got to be together again even if it was in a Marvel level set-up lol. And I'm glad Carolina showed up I was so scared she wasn't going to, it was driving me crazy not seeing her with Wash. Which why did she leave him exactly? I know they wanted the big reveal when she showed up to help fight, but she would not have left Wash alone imo. I think the fights where good, a bit all over the place at times but fun overall. Anyway Caboose is the best character fr, also Micheal did a good job with his voice ! I don't think Tucker will leave, since Caboose would be alone, it would be cool it they showed us that but whatever. I'm glad Grif was able to leave, he deserves a rest, I like to believe that like Geoff he's chilling and making a podcast with the other reds :) (tho urm Grif and Simmons should have kissed🙄) I HOPE THEY SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!! I also loved the Lucifur cameo, he was so cute, I wonder who's cat that is in reality? I think I'll give Restoration a 3.5/4 out of 5 not perfect but I'm so glad I watched it! A big big thank you to the team and Rooster Teeth in general I'm glad it was able to grow and advance for 21 years. Rest in peace RvB and RT let your inspiration live on and I can't wait to see what each employee accomplishes in the near future. This right here really is why we're here, Thank you❤️💙

Spoiler Warning for My Hero Academia and the spinoff series Vigilantes. Though if you got this far in the post you’re already fine with it

The only Truely sentient quirk I can think of is OFA and Dark Shadow but for this I’m also gonna pull in Twice’s clones and Nedzu.

Japan as seen in MHA is SO full of prejudice (even taking into account our skewed POV). You got the garbage that was Aldera that seemed to show how at least some quirkless are treated, the Meta Liberation Army, Anti-mutant sentiment (particularly in rural areas), Overhauls weirdness (though that seems more localized and tied to his quirk drawback it’s worth mentioning), hero worship (as seen with Endeavors quick forgiveness, even after his abuse came out), sexism (seen in Minetas existence and the differences between male and female hero outfits, roles in combat, and gender ratio in the police and hero industry), villainous quirks (seen in Toga and Shinso), and above all Might Makes Right (as seen all throughout the show). So this is not a world that is unwilling ignore a few rights.

I really Truely believe that sentient or not, quirks and quirk byproducts are not considered to be people, which is seen somewhat in Dark Shadow but far more notably in Twice and Nomus.

Twice is able to make clones, and these things are 100% sentient, to the point his whole character arc is based on the fear that he’s just a clone of his original. This is a known thing. The clones act like their own people and have personalities based on their template, something figured out almost immediately. And what do the hero’s do once they realize these are made from quirks instead of original born people? Kill them without hesitation. Aizawa first tries to catch one before it reveals itself as a copy so Twice can make another. Later Vlad manages to subdue and capture another and instead of leaving the completely incapacitated clone Aizawa stomps it to death in front of his coworker and students, with just a simple mention that it’s a clone and everyone moves on to threat assessment. HE WAS WILLING TO CAPTURE BEFORE. This man’s entire character was based on the idea of someone unflinchingly rational, and he didn’t see a problem with murder as long as it’s a quirk. This gets even more extreme later on when Twice figures out Sad Man’s Parade (cloning himself and clones making more clones). He’s making THOUSANDS of clones now. And they ALL display intelligence, personality, and emotions. These are people. And they’re slaughtered in the thousands by hero’s, villains, and indirectly by Twice himself. See, Twice NEVER cloned himself oit of fear of uprising and cause he might not be the original, after some panic and finding out he was? Immediately fine making more. More than fine actually, Estatic. He mass produces more of himself with the express purpose of overwhelming with sheer numbers. Hundreds, possibly thousands of lives thrown as kindling cause he was the original and they weren’t. And it’s not like they were reliant on him, Twice has already had a clone uprising before and never seemed worried about any of them going to far away from him, they just didn’t leave cause why would they? They were just clones.

While Twice was by far the most extreme example, Nomu are in a similar boat. They’re people. Mutated, brain dead, monstrous people, but still people. But they’re still killed like pests. Now this one can get a pass cause the only real deaths we see are thanks to Stain (a known killer) and Endeavor (who was protecting a whole city). Still, there was no hesitation there. Even with the most dangerous villains the country had seen, they were still allowed to live. Stain, AFO, Muscular, Overhaul, they were all allowed to to live even when they threatened the security of the nation. Now once again they get a bit of leeway here since the original Nomu was never killed, but after we got confirmation it was a result of quirks and drugs it was never mentioned again and future Nomu were treated as killable rather than villains.

Next up is OFA which is 100% a sentient quirk, 6 times over. This one’s not super relevant cause the wider world never comments on it, but in the recent final showdown the vestiges Are treated as expendable to get a hit off on Shigaraki. Not a solid example but as one of the few sentient quirks in the show it needs to be brought up.

Nedzu is worth bringing up as well here. He doesn’t have a sentient quirk per se but he does have sentience granted by a quirk, granting him a similar status. From what we’re shown he doesn’t seem to face any immediate challenges to his personhood, but his backstory is suggested to involve heavy experimentation, possible torture, and, while I can’t remember if it was canon or canon, a long battle for recognized sentience. We also see sentient quirked animals treated similarly to Twice’s clones in the spinoff Vigilante series with 2 of their main antagonists being a sentient bee/wasp hive and a lab creation of AFO. While the lab creation isn’t relavent here seeing as its status as a creation is never revealed to the larger cast, it is worth mentioning it’s one of the few characters in both series to die. The insect is in a similar boat with the larger public not knowing its status but it is still hunted down and killed by our protagonists who are very big on the whole “morally good hero” thing (minus one but they have backstory and the others are still all for murder as long as it’s a big with thoughts and feelings and not a person).

Next quirk is Dark Shadow, which is the Prime Example of a sentient quirk. It’s where we got the name, the idea, everything. If we want an idea of how sentient quirks are treated in everyday life that’s our bird. So how it our favorite little crow treated? Not Well™️. Dark Shadow Doesn’t have friends. Tokoyami has friends. Dark Shadow doesn’t do well in the sports festival. Tokoyami overrelied on HIS quirk but did well in the festival. Tsuyu, Tokoyami, and Dark Shadow don’t finish their test. Tsuyu and Tokoyami do. The only person I can remember Ever acknowledging Dark Shadow was Tokoyami himself, and even then just as an extension of himself. A part that he needs to control and make use of. So day to day quirks aren’t really seen as their own person, just a part of their original (the same is seen to a lesser degree with Twice since his clones are only seen as “Twices clones” not “clones from Twice”)

So yeah, that’s the basic info we can get from canon with minimal extrapolation, but it’s easy to build off of that. Quirks and quirk byproducts aren’t people and as such don’t have the rights of such, even compared to the likes of AFO.

Sorry for the ramble and any misinformation, it’s been a hot second since I reread the manga and I didn’t organize or plan this out ahead of time.

My WIP fairy hates me. But like... in that homoerotic Nemesis sorta way, I swear.

Cease an desist, woman! (I scream into the void, knowing damn well she, being my own brain, SHAN'T.)

Cause NOW? Now I CAN NOT stop Pondering, with a Capitol P, the life of a Sentient Quirk. The trials and tribulations. The indignities and sufferings. Countless micro-aggression and out right dismissal of sentience. The reduction to the EXTENSION of another.

You are not a person.

You are JUST a Quirk.

An organ that "thinks" itself separate, in the way knees spasm when struck just so. The child you are attached to just needs to get better CONTROL of you. Your words and actions are actually THEIRS. You are simultaneously an unruly animal and strange adult, not allowed near other peoples children.

Why are you trying to follow this four year old into their school? Why are you SITTING out side a pre-school? Are you stalking that child?

You are a grown adult. Connected to a random Japanese child.

The child is expected to "control" you.

Punished if they do not.

No one is listen to EITHER of you, as you try to explain the situation. The child is upset, scared, and does not have the emotional maturity to understand why you are not to blame. All they can understand is that you appeared and everything became stressful and "bad". They started getting punished. Have to share their room now.

Do you even have rights? If you get hurt, get MAIMED, what will happen to you? Can you hold a job? Own land? Open a bank account? Fuck it! Can you have a RELATIONSHIP?

If you went out RIGHT NOW and punched a purse thief, would the FOUR YEAR OLD be arrested?

If the kid grows up, becomes a hero, and you do secretarial work... does his license cover you? If YOU wanted to become a Hero, would he be your hero partner? Could he technically sit in a corner and let you work?

If no one could TELL, over an internet connection, then surely that should prove SOMETHING? Right?

And! The question NO ONE ever seems to ask!

Could..... could you LEAVE? Do people have the right to force you back? If you don't WANT to be some kid's Quirk? You're sentient. If, unlike Dark Shadow, you are not PHYSICALLY connected, but tethered by distance?

Could. You. Leave?

Just "Allright, I'm out. The way you're all treating me is unacceptable. See ya never." And walk out the door? You'd be able to gain distance as the kid grew older. As long as you hid? You be homeless, without papers, but free.

A sentient Quirk means free will. Means you don't HAVE to do shit. It's like being born with a twin, not a slave. And that Twin does NOT have to put up with your bullshit. YOU are the one asking THEM to work with you, after all.

This? Of course, ALSO just ABSOLUTELY BEGS the question? What if that four year old grew up to be a BASTARD? Just... NO self reflection or empathy. Everything is everyone else's fault, always. And they want a NEW Quirk. One that won't question them.

So they sell theirs, buy a new one. Probably die off screen trying to throw it around.

What happens to you THEN? Pain, obviously. Like... massive, massive amounts of pain. You ARE a Quirk. You're being ripped out by your metaphorical roots. By the NERVE ENDINGS. But? Do you... for lack of a better word, "reset"?

Are you back infront of "your" person? Or do you stay, safely, where you are? Both would be fascinating, honestly. Because I imagine All for One? Does NOT get sentient quirks often. If at all.

They'd sooner kill themselves.

After all, if your choice is "kill yourself and your beloved twin" or "be ripped apart and watch them die horribly, then be used to go against everything you both stood for"? You weep and promise to make it fast.

Then you make it fast.

It's... really annoying, I'd imagine, for All for One. It's not necessarily that he WANTS a sentient Quirk. But they are INTERESTING. And he likes interesting.

He also likes owning things that can't leave. Ever.

So of course he'll poke and prod at the Quirk. It will inevitably be a nightmare, either way. Because EVERY Sentient Quirk has some degree of communication aspect to it. Just because the original holder never figured it out, doesn't mean HE can't.

And while your range may now be much, MUCH bigger? Because the fucker is strong as hell? How useful is that... if he can talk to you when ever HE feels like it? Day or night. 24/7.

And that's assuming you don't reset. God help you if you reset. Because THEN your STANDING infront of, most likely, pre-face-smash All for One. Who's looking at you like he just won a Mildly Interesting Prize and you would PREFER HE NOT. But what are you gonna do?

Walk out again?

You think THAT'S an option here?!

I mean... you can and do TRY. But, obviously not. So like? Fuck ™.

THEN the question becomes? Would YOU go to Tarturaus. Are you a hostage? Or an accomplice? You have the same level of power and authority as a cat, deliberately knocking pages of tables and cups to the floor, but... like? Oooooh~ oh yeah! THATS gonna slow him down! His empire crumbles beneath the sheer MIGHT of your petty inconveniences!

*trips the doctor again*

Fffffuck you.

Your review for chapter 4

The exam is fine in isolation. You can tell by looking at it that the purpose of this exam was so that Izuku could punch a giant robot, break three of his limbs, and save and be saved by Uraraka. Bakugo also got a high score in a test that catered perfectly to his quirk. It succeeded in its goals and was a very memorable moment. The first time Izuku ever went SMASH. MHA really hit at the perfect time when superheroes were big and it provided constant action. Maybe a bit too much in retrospect, since we never got much Academia in the My Hero.

The problem comes with Shinso in the sports festival.

An invisible girl managed to pass it. That same invisible girl got a higher score on Aizawa's physical test than Izuku, despite her quirk doing nothing for her. What's Shinso's excuse? The logic here is that Toru was either punching robots or rescuing people, and Shinso failed to do both. I think we're supposed to care about and feel sorry for this kid though? The only message you can take away from this is that he's lazy and wanted to coast through with his quirk. But we're meant to want him to get into the hero course and feel hype when he's training with them. He wasn't mad because the test was unfair, he was mad because his quirk didn't work on robots. There's persistent fanon that the robots had secret off switches, which despite all the years of the MHA fandom being a thing, nobody's been able to dig up where that was stated. I don't believe statements without evidence, and nobody's ever been able to provide proof of this. But even if we assume this is real...

It makes Shinso even more of an idiot. Apparently UA provided a back door to help kids who couldn't punch robots get in, and he was too daft to see it. So the story wants us to see that the exam was unfair, but someone who gets literally zero advantages from their power in the test passed it. He spends a lot of time griping about other people having perfect quirks and living a charmed life. Toru destroys his argument entirely. I bet she wishes she had Brainwash. There's also Koji. It wasn't until the Joint Training Arc that we learned that Koji has enhanced strength from being a rock person. I don't recall a moment before that which we could know this. Tokoyami for example has a bird head. But he doesn't display any crow traits, such as mimicking sounds or having superb eyesight. His are just cosmetic. Koji's personality isn't the type to have animals get hurt fighting robots, and it's unlikely that there were conveniently placed bears for him to use nearby. So he must have punched robots too, I guess. We know NOW he's enhanced, but at the time of the sports festival he'd be another person whose quirk wouldn't have helped him much, because he doesn't see animals as disposable tools. None of this matters or would be thought about by anyone if not for Shinso bringing attention to it. By the way, since I'm talking to you right now, when are you doing another poll? I like those.

Oh shoot, I forgot to mention the punch! Yeah, Hori really does do well on the action scene when he pulls them up. (Though there’s a little much lately, but I guess that’s the audience.) I’m with you though. If it ain’t in the manga or official work, it doesn’t count, especially if it’s an important plot point, like in this case. Some may argue that Shinso didn’t get in because he has a “villainous” quirk but we’ve never seen anyone bothered by that, especially the heroes. What they do say is that he failed the hero course because his quirk isn’t a combat quirk. But that always raised the question; how the hell did Toru get in then? She’s not strong physically and, at this point, has no way of disarming anyone. We’ve seen she’s not an academic genius, so it wasn't her brains that got her in. Fans can speculate all they like about buttons or whatever but without proof, it’s just a plot hole. (Plus, buttons were never mentioned so how would Toru know about them? It’s more likely she got in the way Elle Woods did without the GPA backing.) But I’ll talk more about it when I get to the sports festival and not sporting a fever. I think I’ve touched on this in previous posts if you want to look it up. Just search the Shinso critical tag, and you’ll find it. As for the polls, I’ve been playing with posting one, so I’ll just do it. Just keep following!
