History Characters / GreenTeaRescue

* FreudianExcuse: His cowardly nature and tendnecy to perv over girls stems from him being constantly ridiculed and pitied for his height and inability to ever get taller, and thus respected. This lead him to decide that if he's never gonna get any respect, why even bother trying to be a better person? Ochako ends up pushing him to start trying to think outside of this mentality.

* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He murders Inko when she attempts to kill him.]]
* ItsPersonal: Starts to gain this toward Izuku after the USJ and Hosu City.

[[folder:Inko Midoriya]]
!!Inko Midoriya (briefly Nenshouki)
!!!'''Quirk''': [[MindOverMatter Attraction of Small Objects]] [[spoiler:+ [[ChargedAttack Fa Jin]]]]

* AdaptationalBadass: While not getting up to much fighting in the present, [[spoiler:in the past she was a skilled guerrilla fighter before she reached her 20s. ''And'' she was given a second Quirk in an encounter with All For One]].
* AdaptationalSexuality: Unlike in canon where she's straight, here it is highly suggested that Inko is bisexual, due to her past with Hisashi and the fact that she oogled Mitsuki's cleavage in the past and was left a blushing mess when Chitose flirted with her.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:All her fighting against the corporation that destroyed her island and the yakuza that poisoned her friends ends up being for naught; all of her friends save Hisashi are murdered by Lady Nagant, and Bespin Island is destroyed by a super-storm (having been weakened from all the earlier mining).]]
* AlmightyMom: All Might mentions that there are very few people he finds more terrifying than Inko Midoriya. She also stuns Endeavor during the parents-teachers conference when she explodes with rage at Himiko's parents.
--> '''All Might''': Young Midoriya, are you sure your mother wasn't a professional hero? I've been in rooms with ''trained interrogators'' that didn't scare me as much as that woman!
* AntiHero: [[spoiler:Make no mistake, what she did on Bespin Island was for the benefit of the people living there, but Inko had utterly no problems getting her hands dirty, making deals with All For One to get more power, and outright ''murder''.]]
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Downplayed compared to most examples, but [[spoiler:when she and her team intercepted a group of rogue yakuza agents trying to steal a package they were supposed to deliver, she inadvertently helps All For One acquire [[MusclesAreMeaningful Hypertrophy]]. He'd have reclaimed it himself anyway, but he ''did'' find their involvement amusing enough to not kill them.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Inko is a total sweetheart and caring woman. Unless you mistreat her son, or one of his friends. Then you might as well have your business settled and prepare to leave this world. When Endeavor attempts to gal Shoto's superiority before his fight with Izuku, Inko snaps back at him that Izuku will win and he should not force his own wills to his son. During the parent conference following the [[spoiler:Saito]] incident, she cows Endeavor back again and destroys the TV set where Toga's parents were speaking after they suggest sending her to Tartarus. [[spoiler:Then comes TheReveal that she was once the leader of an independent branch of the Meta Liberation Army (having taken the name after Inko found Destro's manifesto). She personally toppled a corrupt mining operation, and led her home island's population to drive out Yakuza drug runners that tried to move in afterwards. The Hero Commission sent [[ProfessionalKiller Lady Nagant]] to kill her, and Inko only survived an intense gunfight because she managed to [[FakingTheDead fake her death]].]]
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:By the time she takes control of Bespin Island, Inko becomes increasingly self-confident and bordering on arrogant, believing that her small island has enough firepower and fortification that she can intimidate the Hero Public Safety Commission and force them to leave her island. Nagant killing her remaining friends save Hisashi, the rest of the survivors who wanted to stay behind, and the storm destroying Bespin utterly breaks Inko's arrogance, and she becomes far more mellow. The same, however, could not be said of [[{{Jerkass}} Hisashi]]...]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Subverted. Inko ends up dying at Shigaraki's hands after his Quirk tore out a chunk of her neck, right after she used one of Himiko's knives to stab him in the gut to protect Izuku - but then Eri instinctively uses her Quirk on Inko, healing her injuries and bringing her back to life..]]
* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler:After everything it went through, Bespin Island is swept away by a large storm. Only a small blot of it (containing her friend's graves) survives.]]
* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:She is convinced that Hisashi is attempting to try and get Rikiya Yotsubashi to adopt the teachings of Destro, due to her and Hisashi's history as leaders of their own Meta Liberation Army cell when they were younger. While a valid concern, she is completely in the dark about the fact that Rikiya is already the leader of his own much larger faction of the MLA (as Destro's direct successor), and that Hisashi is an underling of his.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: She is absolutely disgusted with Himiko's birth parents forcing their daughter to undergo archaic and inhumane Quirk Suppression Therapy to try and make her "normal", as such an action only hurt Himiko and was only done to protect themselves from social embarrassment.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She was once an orphan living in a small island away from the Japanese Home Islands. [[spoiler:Then a mining corporation came and caused untold destruction to the island and its people. That turned her into the leader of a group that turned to sabotage to stop the corporation's work. By the time she was nineteen, she'd become the leader of an independent branch of the Meta Liberation Army, driven away the corporation and a Yakuza drug ring, and became leader of the island. It took a cataclysmic hurricane and an assassination attempt from Lady Nagant to drive her away.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:She goes through a year-long one in the aftermath of Bespin's destruction and her friends' death. Meeting Mitsuki helped pull her out of it.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When Shigaraki tells her he won't stop trying to kill Izuku, Inko grabs one of Himiko's knives with her Quirk and stabs Shigaraki in the gut, at the cost of getting herself hit by Shigaraki's Decay in the neck.]]
* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[spoiler:Given everything that happened to her in her youth, it's obvious where Izuku got his MagneticHero skill.]]
* TheLeader: [[spoiler:Of her resistance group/branch of the Meta Liberation Army (with no knowledge or relation to Re-Destro's organization), and later of Bespin Island.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Due to the prophetic Quirk of a resident of her old home of Bespin Island, Inko is terrified of the idea of All for One returning to go after Izuku. She is misled by All Might (who himself is missing the context for her concerns) into thinking All for One is dead, and is similarly kept out of the loop as to why All for One is targeting her son to begin with.]]
* MamaBear: She may not look like it, but she is willing to do a lot of things to protect her son, [[spoiler:including ''gutting'' Shigaraki when he threatens to kill Izuku, even though he is holding her hostage]].
* RetiredBadass: [[spoiler:Back in the day, she was a tough as nails guerilla leader who overthrew a corrupt mining company and the yakuza that moved in afterwards on her home island of Bespin. The Hero Organization setting Nagant on her and all of her friends save Hisashi dying as a result led her to give up that past and become the easily flustered housewife she is today]].
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:The prophecy of Pemphredo indicates that after her death, she will be reunited with her friends in the afterlife.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Put simply, her backstory is ''much'' more eventful than it likely was in canon.

[[folder:Eri]]
!!!'''Quirk''': [[DevolutionDevice Rewind]]
A young girl that Izuku and Ochako encounter early in their first year.
----
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She crashes into Izuku during his "not-a-date" with Ochako after the USJ Incident, months before her canon appearance in the Internship Arc.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:Not too badass yet, but during the flashforwards she's already training to attend U.A., and is more than capable of winning fights at school.]]
* HappilyAdopted: By Inko after being rescued, and later on by Izuku and Ochako.
* {{Protectorate}}: Izuku makes it clear that anyone trying to do anything to her will have to answer to ''him''.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: [[spoiler:Seeing Inko dying at the mall causes her to overcharge her Quirk, bringing Inko back to life.]]

!Villains

!!League of Villains

[[folder:All for One]]
!!All for One
!!!'''Quirk''': All for One

* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. Here, he possesses [[spoiler:Fa Jin, Blackwhip, and Float, but they're suggested to not be as powerful as they are in canon thanks to not being made stronger by One for All. Time will tell if he shows the other One for All quirks.]]
* BigBad: The villain behind the League of Villains, and Izuku and Ochako's future ArchEnemy thanks to the young man being a torchbearer for One for All.
* TheDreaded: The mere mention of his name causes Himiko to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness drop her happy-go-happy persona and become deadly serious]], and both Izuku and Ochako are utterly terrified of the man once they hear about him.
* GreaterScopeVillain: As the main backer of the League of Villains and All Might's ArchEnemy.
* ManBehindTheMan: So far, he's only acted through Tomura or behind the scenes, but he's still responsible for several behind the scenes events, such as [[spoiler:freeing Nagant from Tartarus and arranging for Beros to kill Wolfram, as well as bestowing upon them both quirks.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** [[spoiler:He only briefly appears during Inko's story arc, but he not only provides Inko with the information to drive the Yakuza off her island (and attracting attention from the Commission in the process), but he gives her the Quirk Fa Jin.]]
** [[spoiler:His giving Inko Fa Jin is what allows Inko to take control of Bespin Island from the yakuza, attracting the attention of Lady Nagant and the Hero Commission, and ultimately sends them to Musutafu to have Izuku. It's also ''heavily'' implied that All For One giving Inko the Fa Jin Quirk is the reason why Izuku's Psychokinesis is a powered-up mutation of Inko's original Quirk.]]
* VillainTakesAnInterest: He starts to gain an interest in Izuku after learning from Shigaraki and Kurogiri that the young hero [[spoiler:has become the new bearer of One for All]].

!!Shuuichi Iguchi
!!!'''Quirk''': Gecko

[[folder:Mustard '''(Spoilers)''']]
!!Saito - Mustard
!!!'''Quirk''': Gas

* AdaptationalVillainy: Due to strictly being a flashback character, there is not much about Saito that indicates that he was genuinely a bad person, but in this story, he is now villain partially due to being a CompositeCharacter with Mustard.
* ArchEnemy: He's being built up as one for Himiko Toga.
* CompositeCharacter: Saito and Mustard were two different characters in canon.
* SanitySlippage: Seeing the woman who attacked and nearly killed him on TV as a student of U.A., the gag order place on him and his family by the HPSC, and seeing Izuku & Ochaco stand by Himiko (due to knowing about her past and accepting her) all took a toll on Saito's sanity, causing him to snap and attempt to kill her himself. The aftermath saw him becoming a pariah, and was given the chance for revenge by joining the League of Villains.
* TragicVillain: He was a normal middle school student. Then the trauma of Toga's attack and the way it was handled afterwards drove him to villainy.

[[folder:Chimera]]

[[folder:Lady Nagant]]
!!Kaina Tsutsumi - Lady Nagant
!!!'''Quirk''': [[ArmCannon Rifle]], [[spoiler:[[CombatTentacles Blackwhip]]]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Rather than just being one of All For One's hired guns to use against Izuku, here she is made into a member of the League of Villains.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She ends up getting sprung from Tartarus long before her canonical appearance thanks to All For One.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Like in canon, she gains an additional Quirk from All For One. Unlike canon, instead of Air Walk, she gets [[spoiler:Blackwhip]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Becomes a full member of the League of Villains rather than a mercenary for All For One.
* ColdSniper: Just like in canon, she becomes dead serious when assigned to kill her targets, as shown when she killed [[spoiler:the inner circle of Inko's Meta Liberation Army cell, and nearly killed Inko herself]].
* FallenHero: Like in canon, she was once a pro hero and a hitwoman for the HPSC. In the present, she is a villain incarcerated in Tartarus for killing the previous HPSC president before she is broken out by All for One.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: She's simply the HPSC's hitwoman at the time, and only a supporting member of the League of Villains in present time, but she's arguably [[spoiler:Inko's ArchEnemy after the callous and ruthless murder of her remaining friends and the rest of Bespin's townsfolk.]]
* NotoriousParent: [[spoiler:Revealed at the end of Chapter 56, when she sends her daughter a post card letting her know she's escaped Tartarus, promising to see her soon. Chapter 59 reveals she's the mother of Mei Hatsume.]]
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Chapter 59 reveals that [[spoiler:she is the mother of Mei Hatsume, while in canon the two have no such relationship.]]
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: She's a full-on member of the League of Villains in this fic rather than a simple mercenary hired by All For One.

[[folder:Beros]]
!!Beros
!!!'''Quirk''': [[MasterArcher Longbow]], [[spoiler:[[NotQuiteFlight Float]]]]
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Rather than being an agent of Humarise, Beros ends up joining the League of Villains out of a sense of self-preservation due to Humarise's goal of wiping out all Quirk wielders.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: [[spoiler:In addition to her Longbow Quirk, she is given Float by All For One.]]
* ColdSniper: Just like in canon, as shown when [[spoiler:she assassinated the captured Wolfram to keep him from being interrogated and spilling any info on Humarise]].
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: She decides to throw her lot in with the League of Villains rather than Humarise in this story.

!!Humarise

[[folder:Wolfram]]
!!Wolfram
!!!'''Quirk''': [[ExtraOreDinary Metal Manipulation]]

* AdaptationalContextChange: [[spoiler:Unlike in canon where he wanted to steal David's device for his own personal gain, here he wished to see it destroyed because he and his superiors saw it as a weapon that could be used against Humarise.]]
* AdaptationalJobChange: Rather than just be a mercenary, [[spoiler:he and his team are agents of Humarise]].
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Alive in canon, he ends up being assassinated by Beros soon after his capture to prevent him from being interrogated.]]
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: He's an agent of Humarise in this story, unlike in canon where he is a simple mercenary.

!!Meta Liberation Army

[[folder:In General]]
!!!In General
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: While they didn't appear in canon until after the Joint Training arc, here they show up almost as soon as the Stain arc concludes.
* AscendedExtra: In conjunction to the above, they also play a big role in every arc after their introduction. [[spoiler:The fact that one of their members is Izuku's father certainly helps]].
* FantasticRacism: They believe that a person's worth is tied to how powerful their Quirk is.

[[folder:Rikiya Yotsubashi - Re-Destro]]
!!Rikiya Yotsubashi
!!!'''Quirk''': Stress
The leader of the Meta Liberation Army.

* ShadowArchetype: Like Izuku, Re-Destro is obsessed with Quirks/Meta Abilities and what they can do. His interest, however, is much darker than Izuku's, as it is applied to how they can help the Meta Liberation Army.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: After the Sports Festival and [[spoiler:Izuku's unlocking of Boric Pyre]], he starts to gain an interest in the young hero, especially after learning he is close to All Might. This interest only grows after meeting him in person and talking with him over a company dinner, intending to watch his career with great interest.

[[folder:Chitose Kizuki - Curious]]
!!Chitose Kizuki
!!!'''Quirk''': Landmine

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Chitose successfully seduced Inko Midoriya despite the latter claiming to be heterosexual.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: She orchestrated a meeting between Saito and Himiko to try and expose the HPSC covering up her crimes, as well as the incident with Lady Nagant. Saito losing his temper and attacking a U.A. student with his Quirk completely turns the reporters against him, and the Nagant story gets buried in all the confusion.

[[folder:The Recruiter '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]
!!Hisashi Midoriya (né Nenshouki)
!!!'''Quirk''': [[PlayingWithFire Fire Breath]]
Izuku's father, working overseas.

* AbusiveParent: Of the neglectful kind. The only time he really took an interest in Izuku was after he got his Quirk, and when Izuku was unable to show great improvement in its use he just dropped any interest. A few weeks later, he left for his overseas job and has barely come back. Now, all he cares about is how what Izuku may do affects his image: he was surprised when he learned Izuku got into the Hero Course, told Inko to make sure Izuku would not do anything that would reflect badly on him, and when he calls after the USJ incident, it is only to ask if he got his injuries interfering with the heroes' rescue and threatening to pull him out of U.A. if he does something that embarrasses him. When learning this, Ochako realizes that now she hates someone even more than [[ArchEnemy Bakugou]].
** He's such a terrible father that he's genuinely shocked when Re-Destro tells him he needs to call Izuku and check if he's alright.
* AdaptationalJerkass: As detailed in AbusiveParents above, he gets this treatment here, and made even more apparent in chapter 23, where he mentally refers to Inko as both a bitch and a "worthless sow".
* AdaptationalVillainy: Hisashi here is depicted as an AbusiveParent/husband towards Izuku and Inko and is a member of the MLA.
* AscendedExtra: Unlike canon, he is not TheGhost and has a more active role thanks to his ties to the MLA.
* BigBadWannabe: He likes to consider himself on even footing as the rest of the MLA's top brass, but Hisashi is so comically inept at manipulating his son (to the point that he's surprised to be reminded that he has to actually call Izuku after ''he nearly died in a villain fight'') that Curious completely fails to take him seriously.
* EarlyPersonalitySigns: Even long before becoming a minion of Re-Destro, Hisashi had the habit of judging a person's worth solely by the power or usefulness of their Quirk, something Inko tried and failed to break.
* EntitledBastard: When Re-Destro tells him he needs to reconcile with Izuku in order to bring the latter into the MLA, Hisashi doesn't see the point of it, because, as far as he's concerned, Izuku being his son means the latter will do as he commands.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He's unable to see relationships in terms other than connections to further your own career. He thinks Izuku befriended Iida and Todoroki because of their ties to rich and popular Pro Heroes, and can't understand why would he waste his time befriending a girl from a blue-collar family like Ochako.
* FaceHeelTurn: When he was a teenager, he was a NiceGuy who liked to spend time with his girlfriend and eventually married her. However, the taste of power he got as Inko's lieutenant gave him an ambition that grew into a desire to gain power at any cost, until he became the {{Jerkass}} HateSink he is currently.
* HateSink: He only had a single appearance by the time Izuku explains to Ochako why he doesn't live with him and Inko anymore, yet those two scenes were enough to cement him as the most hated character of the fic. And he only gets ''worse'' with every subsequent appearance.
* InsultOfEndearment: Inko used to call him "Bark Head".
* ItsAllAboutMe: He will do anything to improve his standing in the world at the expense of Izuku and Inko.
** When Izuku found his Quirk, his only concern was that it could become strong enough that he could later boast about it.
** When Inko informed him about Izuku enrolling in U.A., he only cared about how anything Izuku could do would reflect on him.
** The only concern he had for Izuku after USJ was whether or not his injuries interfered with the pro heroes' rescue operations, and thus reflected badly on Hisashi.
** When he finds out about Izuku's progress in the Sports Festival, his first thought is that Inko hid Izuku's power from him to humiliate him to the Meta Liberation Army.
* {{Jerkass}}: Being a neglectful parent would be bad enough, but his internal monologue reveals he thinks little of Izuku beyond his Quirk and he's rather hateful towards Inko as well, calling her a "fat sow" who dared to go behind his back and hide Izuku's potential.
** His reaction when he sees Inko dying due to Shigaraki is... to state he will immediately begin to work on getting custody of Izuku and transferring him out of U.A., not giving a damn about how Izuku will take such a traumatic event nor about the friends he'd leave behind.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Much like Izuku would be, Hisashi was also called by a nickname meaning "worthless" by other children.
** LikeFatherUnlikeSon: However, while Izuku is an AllLovingHero who seeks to save everyone no matter who, Hisashi is [[ItsAllAboutMe incredibly self-centered]] and [[FantasticAbleism Quirkist]].
* NeverMyFault: Hisashi effectively abandoned his wife and child after presuming Izuku's Quirk to be weak and useless. When his superiors at the MLA question him on why he didn't inform them of his powerful son, he blames Inko for not informing him and goes on an internal blue streak about how she's ugly, stupid, and has "humiliated" him, holding her entirely responsible for his lack of familiarity with their son despite the fact that it's his own fault he knows next to nothing about his family anymore.
* ParentalAbandonment: Unlike the rest of Bespin's orphan population in his generation, his parents didn't die; they took a boat and left without him in the middle of the night. The rest of the island (especially other children) looked down on him for that.
* StartOfDarkness: The "Inko Midoriya Origin" four parter shows how he became the kind of person he's today. Being abandoned at a young age, and shunned and bullied by every other inhabitant from his island home of Bespin except Inko and their few close friends (also fellow orphans), Hisashi became Inko's right hand man after the latter was able to become Bespin's mayor, which gave him a taste of power as the townspeople began to respect him. After moving to mainland Japan and being forced to start over, Hisashi became fixated on regaining the power and respect he briefly had and focused on his job at the expense of everything else, including his relationship with Inko, which deteriorated to the point that they're only a married couple in name only.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As seen in the official art, he looks like an adult version of Izuku, freckles and all. The biggest difference is that while Izuku's hair is messy, his is shorter and slicked back.
* TookTheWifesName: He's mentioned as having taken his wife's family name because his previous one had too much baggage. [[spoiler:His original surname was Nenshouki, which Inko had also adopted, but in the aftermath of the HPSC ordering the massacre of Bespin Island's inhabitants, they were forced to take Inko's family name to avoid being found out and killed.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: It's subtle, but one of his biggest flaws is that Hisashi tends to rely too strongly of his first impression of people and their Quirks. After a young Izuku didn't immediately start to show noticeable improvement with his newly-discovered Quirk, Hisashi was all too quick to wash his hands of the boy and dismiss him as useless, leaving him completely blindsided when Izuku not only got into U.A, but the Hero Course at that (which he wrote off as the school lowering its standards), and ''then'' went on to win the Sports Festival. It's even something that his superiors in the MLA criticize him for, as he's too quick to dismiss potential recruits as worthless, when they possess Quirks that could become truly potent with proper effort.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Inko's origin arc shows he used to be a decent person who actually cared for Inko. Going from one of his island's leaders to stuck in a dead-end job on the mainland clearly didn't do him any favors, even before Re-Destro got to him.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's impossible to talk about him without spoiling a good chunk of the plot and the Midoriya family's background.

* SavedByCanon: Considering his canonical fate of [[spoiler:[[DoomedByCanon being killed by Stain back when he started out as a vigilante]],]] it is safe to say that he was going to get away from Bespin with his life after his boss and comrades were killed.
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: He goes on to become the head of the Abegawa Tenchu gang [[spoiler:before dying to Stain in his vigilante days]].

A drug dealer on Bespin. He was secretly working as an informant for the feds.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Inko ends up dying at Shigaraki's hands after his Quirk tore out a chunk of her neck, right after she used one of Himiko's knives to stab him in the gut to protect Izuku.]]

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:The prophecy of Pemphredo indicates that after her death at Shigaraki's hands, she is reunited with her friends in the afterlife.]]

* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:Not too badass yet, but she's already training to attend U.A., and is more than capable of winning fights at school.]]

[[folder: Sytsevich]]

* StrongFamilyResemblance: As seen in the official art, he looks like an adult version of Izuku, freckled and all. The biggest difference is that while Izuku's hair is messy, his is shorter and slicked back.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Due to strictly being a flashback character, there is not much about Saito that indicates that he was genuinely a bad person, but is now villain partially due to being a CompositeCharacter with Mustard.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Izuku awakens Boric Pyre when he sees Ochako about to be killed by the flying Nomu.]]

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:She goes through a year-long one in the aftermath of Bespin's destruction and her friends' death. Meeting Bakugou's mom helped pull her out of it.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:When Shigaraki tells her he won't stop trying to kill Izuku, Inko grabs one of Himiko's knives with her Quirk and stabs Shigaraki in the gut, getting herself hit by Shigaraki's Decay quirk in the neck.]]

!!Izuku Midoriya

* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: Psychokinesis is a very powerful Quirk, but when he was young Izuku kept getting bullied by Bakugo (who constantly claimed it was weak) while his [[AbusiveParents father]] constantly pressured him to get stronger. This caused him to falter and lose strength, which was not helped at all when Hisashi declared it was useless and left a few days later. It takes All Might tricking him to use his power on heavy objects that look lighter in order to break this mental block.

* AdaptationalBadass: While not getting up to much fighting in the present, [[spoiler:in the past she was a skilled guerrilla fighter before she reached her 20s. ''And'' she was given a second Quirk in an encounter with All For One.]]

[[folder:Mei Hatsume]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: [[spoiler:Chapter 59 reveals that she is the daughter of Kaina Tsutsumi/Lady Nagant, while they have no such relationship in canon.]]

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: [[spoiler:"Zoom" is just the cover of her ''real'' Quirk, which is the same Quirk as her mother Lady Nagant.]]

[[folder:Melissa Shield '''(Spoilers)''']]

!!!'''Quirk''': [[UnSorcerer Quirkless]] [[spoiler:(publicly) [[RealityWarper New Order]] (officially)]]

** In canon, Melissa and All Might share a close bond but are otherwise unrelated. [[spoiler:Here, it's revealed that All Might is Melissa's real father.]]
* AmazonianBeauty: [[spoiler:As Star and Stripe, she's a tall, well-muscled beautiful young woman.]]

* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:In this universe, she is combined with her canon self and Cathleen Bate/Star and Stripe. Like the canon Melissa, she's the daughter of David Shield and a genius inventor; here, however, she also has the Quirk "New Order", which allows her to affect reality itself and act as America's number one hero.]]

* HourOfPower: [[spoiler: Inverted; Melissa can only stay "normal" for a limited period of time before her powers kick in and she becomes Star and Stripe, in a reverse to All Might's issues following his injury. They do share the problem that their time is shrinking, so just as All Might will eventually lose all of One for All and become scrawny permanently, Melissa will eventually be overwhelmed by New Order and be mode locked as Star and Stripe]].
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:Her double life as Star and Stripe has left her with little relationships outside of her squad, her parents and All Might, so meeting Izuku and Ochako and becoming good friends with them has a profound impact on Melissa. It's to the point that she breaks down in tears at the thought of them returning to Japan, and is more than happy to stay in contact with them both, whether it be through their group chat or going to see them personally.]]

* YourDaysAreNumbered: A non-fatal variant. [[spoiler:Like All Might, she is able to change her appearance in order to hide that she and the hero Star and Stripe are the same person. However, the time where she can stay in her public identity as Melissa is slowly getting shorter and shorter, meaning sooner or later she will no longer be able to keep up the charade.]]

** [[spoiler:Chapter 59 reveals she is the mother of Mei Hatsume, while in canon the two have no such relationship.]]

[[folder:The Recruiter '''(Spoilers)''']]

* SitcomArchNemesis: She soon finds herself in this relationship with Melissa after the latter moves to U.A., with the two of them trading verbal jabs and fighting for the right to be the one who provides Izuku's support gear.
