My Hero Captain Mightypants

So I was talking with @tornrose24 about the potential of having the cast of My Hero Academia in a Captain Underpants AU. She mentioned how there were several parallels regarding the two series so I figure I can come up with something for the two.

So for starters, Toshinori Yagi and All Might would play the roles of Mr. Krupp and the Waistband Warrior. In this reality, Toshi would be the school principal. Unlike Krupp, Toshinori is not a heartless jerk who gets off of tormenting children. He’s a fair and understandable man who does give his students a chance to prove themselves and see if they can better themselves. Although he’s quite serious and pretty cynical. The reason is because his physical health was weak and limited his opportunities in life so it gave him little to no hope over what he can accomplish on his own. Until one fateful day, when the protagonists unintentionally hypnotize him into the Waistband Warrior Captain Mightypants. His new personality would be just like All Might’s public persona: confident, over the top, friendly, compassionate. The only problem would be that (initially) he’s now a skinny man in briefs and a cape. Thankfully that changes when the heroes come across a carton of “Juice For All” and in a desperate bid to save themselves, they give some of it’s juicy contents for their malnourished hero. This results in CM obtaining his muscular physique and powers that allow him to take on any foe. And his secret identity is secure now that the two forms have radically different personalities and appearances. 

As for our heroes, they would be played by Ochako Uraraka and Izuku Midoriya as George and Harold respectively. Ochako is technically the first genuine friend of Izuku/Harold who helped them out of their bullying situations. She’s also quite witty and is assertive when facing challenges. Izuku would be Harold since he faced many years of isolation, having a disappeared dad, and being the victim of horrid bullies. Apart from the gloomy stuff, he’s also super interested in superheroes and would spend his time making drawings and statistics for each new hero he created. Once Ochako arrives, she would encourage him to make stories with his characters and how each hero would use their skills and overcome their challenges. I can’t really see them pulling consistent pranks since neither of them have ever been the type to prank others. If anything, I see them pulling one big prank on the school jerkhole Bakguou which is big enough to earn the disapproving attention of Mr. Yagi. Izuku would freak out over having his permanent record being tarnished and Ochako, in a desperate bid to save themselves, would pull out a hypno ring and would brainwash Toshinori to stop him from delivering punishment.

Now let’s talk about everyone’s ‘favorite’ jerkhole. Bakugou Katsuki would be the Melvin of the AU. An arrogant, cocky, unpleasant rival who takes pleasure in proving his superiority over others and belittling everyone around him. He continues his role as Izuku’s bully by tormenting him during their early years. But he isn’t able to get away with it once Ochako steps in and vows not to let him get away with his abuse. So the bullying isn’t as prevalent but Bakugou still shows up every now and then to mock and tease them. He also shares the nerd’s dedication to studying and getting great grades. Regarding tech smarts, Bakugou would spend most of his time creating high grade weapons and explosives to see what he can build and to blow off steam whenever he needs time to vent. (He goes to the junkyard/wasteland and blasts things). If I had to give him sympathetic qualities to keep him from being too unlikable, then I’d go with how his need to lash out is because of an inferiority complex where he believes he isn’t good enough for anyone. Both his parents are busy with their own jobs, and his mom is terrible at showing positive affection, and everyone keeps away from him because of his bad attitude. So in Bakugou’s mind, he’s made lashing out a way to cope with his loneliness and to trick himself into thinking that he doesn’t need anyone as long as he’s the best. This is a little tricky so I’d like to come back and rework this later.

Now for the other characters!

Momo Yaoyorozu would be the Erica Wang. A mature honors student who takes her academics seriously and is also a great leader among her peers. She has a big sister role when it comes to Ochako and Izuku’s antics and tries to steer them into making smart and sensible choices. She’s also involved in alot of after school programs and activities as a means of ensuring that she can enter the best school possible and obtain a worthy career. Her arc would be to learn that while academics are important, it’s also important to enjoy her youth alongside her friends and just relax. And in reference to her quirk and Erica’s hammerspace, Momo would conveniently have any object or item that the heroes need.

Kirishima Eijirou as Bo. They’re both the designated strong boys of the group who would use their physical strength to help out their friends. Kirishima also has insecurities like Bo when it comes to how people perceive him and whether he can be a reliable friend. In the past, he had his hair black and would keep to himself because of his doubts. But with the heroes’ help, he starts to come out of his shell and is more open with everyone. And he even dyes his hair to help him stand out. In reference to his quirk, Kirishima can make little figurines out of rock and stone. 

Ibara Shiozaki as Dressy. Both of them are nature loving girls who try to maintain peace and order among their friends and classmates. No matter the circumstances, she always has a calm mood. For the AU, Ibara’s hair would either be dyed green or she’d have twigs, leaves and flowers all over because of how much time she spends in the garden. 

Aizawa would probably be the Ribble of this universe. Along with being the main homeroom teacher, he’s also shown in a serious and gloomy mood and has zero tolerance for the tomfoolery of his children. Though like with Toshi, he wouldn’t have the same level of cruelty as Ribble. His ‘villain’ persona would be “The Scaremaster”; a villain who along with having long and controllable hair, he’d be able to scare anyone into submission with his deadly stare. The kids hypnotize him in order to make him forget about a disastrous event but unintentionally convince him to become the Scaremaster. And things get worse when his face gets splashed with “Juice For All”. 

And as weird as it sounds, I’d go with Present Mic as Mr. Meaner. Mic is also shown to be pretty dense but approachable like Meaner was in the series and is the second most recurring teacher alongside Aizawa/Ribble. He tends to overreact and would embarrass himself with his hammy nature. Most of the time, he can’t even complete the physical activities he set up and is mainly there to talk and push the kids to get through it.

And for the sake of shipping, we can have Inko as Edith the Lunch Lady. They’re both fat, soft-hearted and timid women who try to make the most of any situation. Along with being her main source of income, Inko took on the job because of the bullying and wanted to make sure that her son was okay. But after seeing how her son was able to make new friends and stop the bullying on his own, Inko finds herself with more time to focus on her own interests. She’d also has frequent “parent-faculty” meetings with the principal as they both try to bond and interact with each other while trying to stay professional. They’re both really awkward at it but they still enjoy their time together.

And for the actual villains (this is gonna involve major spoiler territory so please proceed with caution).

The villain who would play Poopypants would be Daruma Ujiko. Both of them are short, glasses wearing scientists who are genuinely evil and have no remorse when it comes to making horrifying experiments for their own personal agendas. Just like in the movie, Daruma came to the school in the hope of perfecting his experiments while also using the children as pawns/subjects for his weapons. He struck gold when it came to Bakugou’s weapons and promised the kid great success if he let him ‘borrow’ some of his weapons. 

And I think I’d go with All For One as Sir Stinks Alot. Granted he won’t be Meaner but it works in the sense that he’s an incredibly intelligent villain who is able to control others much like how SSA had the support of the faculty and created the drug to brainwash the children at Jerome Horwitz. For most of the series, AFO would stay in the background as Daruma, along with several other monsters/villains, would serve as his eyes and ears as they frequently terrorize Piqua. Initially they came to take over, but what caught AFO’s attention was a mysterious hero in his underwear along with two students who frequently defeat his forces. This intrigues AFO as he intends to learn more about Mightypants and what would be the best way to dispose of him.

And those would be the key players of the AU. If anything, I’ll try to think of more people who can be involved aswell as other plot points for the cast. What do you think?
