Tomura Shigaraki had a problem. Well, he had a lot of problems such as dry skin, accidentally turning doorknobs to dust in the middle of the night, and the way this current society worshipped All Might. The one he wanted to focus on now was that his League of Villains was lacking something. After an anime convention, he comes to what the League was lacking.

Maids!

Tomura sighed as he passed some skeleton-like blond man and sat down on a nearby bench. He had about a year till the League would make its debut and he really wanted to have some maids ready for battle by then. He needed some ideas on how to get this started though...
Then the solution literally fell right into his lap.

What is better than maids? Battle maids!

* AdaptationalBadass: The League of Villains is this, due to having more members than canon, with the prominent ones being [[FaceHeelTurn Izumi, Ochako, Mei, Yui]] and Tesla alongside the canonical group.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In canon, Izuku and the League are on different sides of the law. Here, after Izumi's failed suicide attempt, she is taken in by Shigaraki and All for One, the latter of whom turns out to be her long-absent father. Their training [[FromNobodyToNightmare eventually makes Izumi one of the most feared villains in Japanese history]].

** During Dabi's introduction, Tomura reads off several rules to him, one being to always eat Izumi's cooking and not to order takeout. A few chapters later, and it's revealed that Dabi ended up ordering takeout at some point, so Izumi decides not to cook for him for several days, much to his dismay.
** At one point, the League sneaks into Best Jeanist's office in order to see if he has any unsavory secrets that would make him one of their targets, only to discover his massive collection of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' merch, including pictures of himself cosplaying as various characters. When they end up facing him during the Kamino Raid, they start making references to the show when speaking to the hero to clue in into the fact that they know about his secret collection.

* ChessmasterSidekick: Izumi to Tomura. Anyone who witnesses the group operate for more than a few minutes catches on pretty quickly that, even if Tomura isn't totally incompetent at it, Izumi is the true brains behind the League of Villains' day-to-day operations, which is also a fact no one really tries to hide. This only becomes more true when Izumi and the Pleiades become the face for a nationwide reexamination of hero society after the events in Hosu, inspiring a rise in vigilantism and becoming the main reason why people want to join the organization. The main reason why All for One doesn't label her as his successor instead is because Izumi doesn't want the role; she states that this is because she's committed to being a maid, but it is also clear to AFO that the duo have developed a strong "older brother, little sister" bond and their dynamic as leader and second-in-command is on some level [[BrotherSisterTeam reflective of this]].

** Several people on the heroes' side claim that they wish to save the Pleiades from villainy. However, none of them seem to acknowledge just how much happier the maids are with the League, or recognize that the only reason they had to turn to villainy in the first place was from the failings of society that they are working to fix. At one point, Habuko stops and thinks though what would actually happen if the girls were successfully "rehabilitated" and put into hero courses, and concludes that it would just be putting them in new variants of the bad situations they managed to escape from, since they'd have to contend with the baggage of being former villains on top of everything else.
** After what happened with Izumi, Katsuki attempts to turn over a new leaf by being kinder to Quirkless people. However, his views are still heavily bigoted, viewing Quirkless people as fragile. This is best seen with Melissa, who he goes out of his way to bodyguard and protect at very instance, despite part of him acknowledging that the girl is capable of defending herself.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Subverted with Ochako. Unlike every other member of the League, she doesn't have a prolonged, tragic backstory that predates her fall into villainy. She simply resonated with the organization's goals and saw joining as the superior option to attending UA as a General Studies student and praying that she can beat the odds and still join the UA Hero Course, especially since doing so more quickly achieves her personal goal of helping her parents financially. Other characters have privately mused about how this makes her the odd one out amongst the group.

Izumi outright tells Muscular that she planned to either turn him into the heroes or have her father, [[spoiler:All for One]], convert him into a Nomu, to at least make him tolerable.

She calls them every week or so on a burner phone, and occasionally visits whenever the group has downtime between missions. They are also fully aware of her villain status, and after some initial hesitancy, come to wholeheartedly support that as well. During the Hosu arc, it's revealed that they've been proudly watching the entire broadcast while waving homemade flags with their daughter's face and cheering at her every move.

* IRejectYourReality: Inko refuses to accept the fact that Izumi has become a villain, claiming that her daughter far too fragile and adores heroes too much to even consider becoming a villain, insisting at every turn that she is merely being manipulated by the other maids and has been tricked into believing she has a Quirk. It's later revealed that she's actually trying to convince herself of these things, because accepting the truth would also mean accepting that she failed to be the mother that Izumi needed.
* KarmicJackpot: Mt. Lady, when faced with Katsuki being suffocated by the Sludge Villain, decides to break a nearby building in order to save him, despite the fact she knows doing so will likely bankrupt her from the damages. All Might then comes in to pay for the damages himself, while praising her for her actions, which boosts her ratings. Moreover, the event causes her to turn over a new leaf and start being more heroic simply because she wants to, which in turn earns her the respect of the Pleiades, ensuring that she will not be targeted by them while boosting her ratings even further.

** Katsuki's suicide baiting and All Might's rejection drove Izumi to a failed suicide that led to her meeting Tomura. The subsequent chain of events seeing her become both the strongest member of the League of Villains and the public face for a growing desire for societal reform, the realization of which horrifies the two men.

** Power Loader, while incredibly proud of Mei's abilities and endless creativity, never actually voiced any of this to the teenager. Instead, he would only berate her for her hyperactivity and inability to follow instructions. This is in addition to being completely ignorant of the bullying and ostracization that she suffered from her fellow Support Course classmates, never asking Mei for her side of the story and taking his other students' claims that she's just anti-social at face value, resulting in regular lectures about how she needs to learn how to interact and make friends with her peers. As such, when she learns of the other girls' villainous activities, she has zero qualms with abandoning her current life to join her only friends, under the belief that no one would even miss her anyway.
** As part of All for One's BreakingSpeech, he reveals to All Might that not only did the hero's actions insure that the daughter of his greatest enemy would become a villain, but that the societal compliancy that All Might inadvertently caused due to being an ever-present force resulted in his mentor's own grandchild getting lost in the cracks of the system and becoming a villain as well.

She pitied Izumi and treated her as fragile for her Quirkless status, discouraging her from her dreams of heroics, and also completely failed to notice (or actively deluded herself) about how her daughter was being abused at school, thinking she's just accident-prone and has a tendency to roughhouse. Her ignorance of what Izumi wne through is to the point she believes that Katsuki would be a good husband for Izumi, despite the fact that it's been made painfully clear that he was her main abuser.

** Muscular and Moonfish are this to the League of Villains. Izumi outright tells Muscular that she planned to either turn him into the heroes or have her father, [[spoiler: All [[spoiler:All for One]], convert him into a Nomu, to at least make him tolerable.
* GoodFeelsGood: Mt. Lady starts to feel this way about heroics after she gets praise from both All Might and Izumi about her heroic actions. actions.
* GoodParents: In stark contrast to the other maids, Ochako has a loving and supportive relationship with both of her parents. She keeps regular contact with them, calls them every week or so on a burner phone, and visits whenever she can. They are also fully aware of her villain status, and after some brief hesitancy, come to wholeheartedly support that as well. During the Hosu arc, it's revealed that they've been proudly watching the entire violent broadcast while waving homemade flags with their daughter's face and cheering at her every move.



* HiddenInPlainSight: [[spoiler: Yui manages to sneak into the League's base by dressing up as a maid and blending in with the rest of the group as they're leaving the training camp.]]
* IRejectYourReality: Inko refuses to accept the fact that Izumi has become a villain, claiming that her daughter would never do such a thing and that she is merely being manipulated by the other maids to be a villain and believe she has a Quirk.

* IRejectYourReality: Inko refuses to accept the fact that Izumi has become a villain, claiming that her daughter would never do such a thing far too fragile and adores heroes too much to even consider becoming a villain, insisting at every turn that she is merely being manipulated by the other maids to be a villain and believe has been tricked into believing she has a Quirk.



* MyBelovedSmother: As Izumi describes, Inko was a helicopter parent "in all the ways that mattered the least and none that mattered the most", which is why Izumi doesn't contact her after she becomes a maid. She pitied Izumi and treated her as fragile for her Quirkless status, discouraging her from her dreams of heroics, but either completely failed to notice or actively ignored how she was being abused at school, to the point she thought that Katsuki would be a good husband for Izumi, despite the fact that the explosion user had been physically abusive to Izumi, to the point of branding her with his Quirk.

** Katsuki and All Might's actions towards Izumi are ultimately what drove her to villainy, where she proceeded to become one of the strongest member of the League of Villains in both physical strength and publicity.
** UA's handling of Ochako, from not stopping the Zero Pointer from crushing her legs, to having her leave the school, injured and exhausted, with nothing but a pair of crutches as support, to their rather indifferent way of telling her that she didn't make the cut for the Hero Course, all culminate in leading her down the path of villainy.
** Power Loader completely overlooked the bullying that Mei suffered from her fellow Support Course classmates, while simultaneously berating her constantly. Mentally at least, he was always willing to acknowledge her brilliance, but never did so out loud in favor of expressing anger, whenever she deviated from her assignments in any fashion. On top of that, he frequently kicked her out of the lab in order to force her to socialize with the same classmates who bullied her, thinking he was doing her a favor. With that, it's practically no wonder that Mei abandoned UA for the League.

Oh, and the rejection message ends [[KickTheDog with her down favorite hero saying that the path school wants their crutches back]]. All of villainy.
this culminates in her wholeheartedly accepting Izumi's offer and becoming a villain.
** Power Loader Loader, while incredibly proud of Mei's abilities and perhaps even willing to be the father figure Mei desperately craved, never actually voiced any of this to the teenager. Instead, he would only berate her for her hyperactivity and inability to follow instructions. This is in addition to being completely overlooked ignorant of the bullying and ostracization that Mei she suffered from her fellow Support Course classmates, while simultaneously berating her constantly. Mentally at least, he was always willing to acknowledge her brilliance, but never did so out loud in favor of expressing anger, whenever she deviated from asking Mei for her assignments in any fashion. On top of that, he frequently kicked her out side of the lab story and taking his other students' claims that she's just anti-social at face value, resulting in order regular lectures about how she needs to force her learn how to socialize interact and make friends with her peers. As such, when she learns of the same classmates who bullied her, thinking he was doing other girls' villainous activities, she has zero qualms with abandoning her a favor. With that, it's practically no wonder current life to join her only friends, under the belief that Mei abandoned UA for the League.no one would even miss her anyway.



* ParentalSubstitute: While Kurogiri generally plays a parental role for the League due to being the most responsible person in the room, ''especially'' when Izumi isn't present, he more directly acts as this for Himiko and Mei, who outright consider him to be a surrogate father and call him "dad".



* SinsOfOurFathers: The second All Might learns that Izumi is All For One's daughter, he immediately changes his tune about trying to save her from villainy, believing that she must have been destined to follow the same path as her father and would have only brought darkness into the hero system, despite the fact that up until that point he had been constantly insistent about saving her from villainy.

** After what happened with Izumi, Katsuki attempts to turn over a new leaf by being kinder to Quirkless people. However, his view are heavily bigoted, viewing Quirkless people as fragile. For example, he tries to protect Melissa as she walking alone on the street, despite the fact she's capable of protecting her with her Support Gear.
