League of Villains

All For One

??? — All For One

The Symbol of Evil

Species: Human
Quirk: All For One

The founder and mastermind of the League of Villains, an infamous villain believed to be an urban legend.

Another Dimension: At the climax of his battle against All Might in Kamino, he is banished to the Null Void by Ochaco using the Null Void Projector. As a result, All Might didn't use the last of his power against him.
Dissonant Serenity: All For One is always seen speaking in a calm confident voice while casually discussing on how to destroy All Might. Even after finding out about Vilgax's true nature as an alien as well as the existence of other aliens, All For One showed nothing but a brief moment of surprise before reverting back to his chilling calm state.
The Dreaded: The one person that All Might fears.
Person of Mass Destruction: All For One's so powerful that All Might dreads the possibility of him being alive. He even has an unseen fight with Vilgax, with the Evil Overlord being unable to lay a scratch on him.^note
Secret Secret-Keeper: He knows about One For All, the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.
Spotting the Thread: Is the first to notice that Henzu has the same powers as Izuku.
Unseen No More: He finally makes his debut on Chapter 52.

Tomura Shigaraki

Species: Human
Quirk: Decay

The apparent leader of the League of Villains, a jaded twenty-something who wants to destroy society itself, plus everything else that pisses him off. He was raised by All For One, the villain who crippled All Might, and was groomed to be his successor. His name is actually an alias and his true identity is unknown.

Adaptational Wimp: In canon, he could decay anything. Here, he can only decay things that naturally decay, which doesn't include the crystals making up Diamondhead's body.
Psychopathic Manchild: He talks as if everything is a video game.
Secret Secret-Keeper: He knows about One For All, the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He and Nue may be on the same team but they hate each other
This Cannot Be!: This is his reaction to the USJ Nomu being beaten by Izuku and Uraraka.
Touch of Death: His Quirk allows him to decay anything he puts all five fingers against.

Henzu Uuichi - Nue

Izuku Midoriya's childhood friend turned bitter enemy. Currently, a member of Vilgax's faction as part of a deal made between the Warlord and All For One.

His tropes here

Dr. Animo

Dr. Aloysius James Animo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/animov.png

Species: Human
Quirk: Animal Mutation

Dr. Aloysius Animo was once a brilliant veterinary until he made genetic experiments on animals in the hope of gaining fame. He became a mockery to the scientific community. Unable to stand this, Animo retreated for years and went on in his experiments.

His Quirk allows him to alter the DNA of animals as long as he understands the physiology of the species, though the most he could do was give them longer lifespans, make them a bit bigger, or change their pigmentations. Eventually, he ended up developing a device named the Trasmodulator that amplified his Quirk to the point he could transform animals into giant mutant monsters as well as control them. After attacking Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall he is arrested, but escapes thanks to Kurogiri, joining the League of Villains.

Adaptational Backstory Change: A minor one, but in Ben 10 canon he was a veterinarian who wasn't able to win a famous medicine prize. Here he was made a laughing stock because no one saw value in his Quirk.
Adaptational Superpower Change: Downplayed. His ability to mutate animals comes from his Quirk rather than technology.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: The reason behind his Start of Darkness.
Large Ham: He constantly monologues about how great he is and his plans.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens.
Mad Scientist: He creates giant mutant animals.

Kurogiri

Species: Human
Quirk: Warp Gate

A shadowy member of the League who acted as Shigaraki's guardian. His Quirk is "Warp Gate", and it allows him to create portals out of his shadowy figure.

The Bartender: Outside of missions, he is usually seen cleaning cups in the small bar that serves as the League's base.
Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: His main task is to take care of Shigaraki and make sure he won't act out too much.
Secret Secret-Keeper: He knows about One For All, the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.
Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Does this with Shigaraki during the USJ battle when All Might arrives after the Nomu was beaten.
Underestimating Badassery: He certainly thought he had Thirteen beat except he didn't count on the Pro Hero being a Plumber as well.

Giran

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_880.jpg

Species: Human
Quirk: Muddiness

The League of Villains information broker and recruiter.

Adaptational Early Appearance: Appears before the start of the school year as the middle man between Argit and the League of Villains dealing.
Adaptational Expansion: His history before All Might returned to Japan and why he is working for the League are given here.
Even Evil Has Standards: Doesn't seem to like or trust Argit and hates working with him.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens.

Nomu

"Nomu"

USJ Nomu

Hosu Nomu

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20221230_114724_chrome2.jpg

Chainsaw Nomu

Species: Modified Humans
Quirk(s): Various

Powerful monsters created by All For One in conjunction with his doctor and Dr. Animo, used by the League of Villains as Elite Mooks. These beings are actually people who couldn't handle more than one Quirk, granted by All For One, which caused them to become mindless dolls.

Boom, Headshot!: The fate of the winged Hosu Nomu courtesy of SixSix.
Crippling Overspecialization: The U.S.J. Nomu was made to fight All Might. Because of this, it has trouble fighting Tetrax and Diamondhead who can take its attacks.
It Can Think: The winged Hosu Nomu recognizes Izuku from when he was still human.
Mix-and-Match Critters: Thanks to Dr. Animo, each of the Nomu have traits of animals. The USJ Nomu, for example, has crab-like traits.
Outside-Context Problem: Sure, it was designed to beat All Might but no one ever took into account that aliens would be a factor.
The Worf Effect: The U.S.J. Nomu loses to Diamondhead and Uraraka to show how much more powerful they are.
Took a Level in Badass: The Hosu Nomu are further mutated thanks to Animo's machinations.

Charmcaster

Species: Human
Quirk: Alchemy

Hex's niece and disciple. At first, she appears to be an unwilling and submissive servant of her uncle, Charmcaster shows her true colors when she double-crosses both him and the heroes in an attempt to gain the power of Charms of Bezel for herself. After her defeat at the hands of Uraraka, she develops a grudge against the girl.

Adaptational Name Change: Her real name in Ben 10 canon is Hope. Here, Hex calls her Caroline.
Adaptational Superpower Change: Turns from a sorceress to Quirk User.
Alchemy: Her Quirk, fittingly called Alchemy, lets her change the chemical composition of objects as long as she understands the molecular makeup.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She plays the part of a poor girl forced into crime by her crazy uncle while in actuality she is as evil as he is.
The Dog Bites Back: Stabs her abusive Uncle in the back by telling the heroes his weakness and leaves him to the police while she escapes.
Entertainingly Wrong: She believes that Quirks and magic are one and the same.
Foil: To Ochaco Uraraka. Both are proteges to powerful individuals. Charmcaster despises her Uncle and betrays him while Uraraka while annoyed at Gran Torino remains loyal in the end.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens. Until Chapter 84
Secret-Keeper: She knows about the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.
Tomboyish Ponytail: She sports a ponytail.

Himiko Toga

Species: Human
Quirk: Transform

A Loony Stain fan girl who joined after the Hosu incident, her Quirk allows her to transform into people whose blood she drinks.

Cute But Psycho: She's a cute teenage girl, but completely bonkers.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens. Until Chapter 84
Loony Fan: Of Stain. She doesn't even care about his ideals, she just thinks he's cool and wants to Kill and Replace him.
Secret-Keeper: She knows about the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.

Dabi

Species: Human
Quirk: Blueflame

A mysterious villain who joins the League of Villians for his own goals. His Quirk lets him create powerful blue fire but his body can't handle it.

Facial Horror: His face is badly burned, making it look more like a skull with skin stapled on.
Hypocritical Humor: When he first sees Shigaraki, Dabi mentions how gross he looks. Dabi himself isn't really any better.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens. Until Chapter 84
Secret-Keeper: He knows about the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.

SevenSeven

An intergalactic bounty hunter hired by Vilgax. Currently working with the League as part of deal between Vilgax and All For One.

His tropes here

Twice

Species: Human
Quirk: Double

A newer recruit of the League, a fully-costumed man with an odd way of speaking. A rather affable but seriously damaged person, his past is an unpleasant affair.

The Quirk that caused him such hardships is called "Double", and it allows him to make duplicates of other people and things so long as he has accurate measurements of them.

Affably Evil: Twice is one of the more friendly and whimsical members of the League, often taking (hopeless) passes at Toga and trying to make sure his allies are well-cared for. He's particularly distraught if he feels he's done something to harm them.
Beware the Silly Ones: Sure, he's definitely loco, but Twice has one of the most potentially dangerous Quirks in the entire League, if not the series. Not to mention he's pretty good at using measuring tape as a lethal weapon.
Clone Army: His Quirk can — theoretically — allow him to do this, even if his mental issues stop him from using this technique.
Cloudcuckoolander: He's a major oddball in no small part due to his Split Personality.
Commander Contrarian: Zigzagged. When given orders, he replies negatively, but happily follows them anyway (or vice-versa). This is a result of his Split Personality.
Doppelgänger Attack:
- Uses his clones mostly to provide distractions so the other villains can act without being interrupted. They can even mimic the Quirks of the original templates.
Expendable Clone: His clones are much less durable than the original, taking roughly a broken arm to dematerialize them. Destroying them doesn't have a negative impact on Twice either.
Expy: Of Deadpool. Both have severe neuroses that get played for humor, but while Deadpool only occasionally explores the dramatic side of it, Twice rather quickly stops being "quirky" and goes full on "tragic." Both end up with a second personality (Yellow Text Box for Deadpool, Twice literally having two opinions on everything) as a coping mechanism. Both ended up that way at least in part by unethical experimentation. Both also end up with their mental illnesses in part due to uncontrolled duplication — himself for Twice, and cancer^notecaused by uncontrolled cell division for Deadpool. Both have used the Decon-Recon Switch to explore the actual implications of Deadpool's situation, though in different ways. The only major differences are that Twice never breaks the fourth wall while Deadpool uses his Medium Awareness frequently, and that Deadpool is often portrayed or at least implied to not be as sick as he seems and is exaggerating for sympathy, as a coping mechanism, or to throw off his opponents.^note
Hopeless Suitor: He frequently takes passes at Toga, but it's Played for Laughs and isn't ever taken seriously. She sees him as a close friend, which is probably a good thing for Twice since her "love" always ends in bloodshed (and the fact that she's still just a teenager and he's in his 30s).
Immediate Self-Contradiction: Usually Played for Laughs; due to his Split Personality, whenever he says something, he claims the exact opposite immediately afterward.
Improbable Weapon User: His weapon is a roll of measuring tape, which he mostly uses to take precise measurements of the people he has to copy. The measuring tape is capable of slicing through Todoroki's ice though, so it's clear they were made with combat usage in mind.
Laughably Evil: He's a funny guy despite being a villain.
Locked Out of the Loop: Doesn't know about aliens. Until Chapter 84
Secret-Keeper: He knows about the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.
Shout-Out:
- He's a loving homage to Deadpool with shades of Rorschach. His English voice actor even gave him a similar speaking style to most portrayals of the Regenerating Degenerate.
- His powers are similar to that of the Marvel character Multiple Man and he too has had issues with his dupes rebelling on him.
- His overall costume, Quirk and insanity due to his powers, makes him a dead ringer to the obscure Superman villain Riot, who wears a nearly identical costume, can duplicate himself and both of them became insane due to their powers. However, Riot's insanity came from sleep deprivation as he cannot sleep as long as he has clones around. In a possible coincidence, Riot's mask in the New 52 has stitching resembling Twice's scar.
Talking to Themself: Does this when alone, in a manner similar to Deadpool, albeit without Breaking the Fourth Wall. That's a Sotoraggian thing.

Magne

Species: Human
Quirk: Magnetism

A newer recruit of the League, a long-haired, sunglasses-wearing transgender woman with some murders and armed robberies under her belt. Her Quirk is "Magnetism".

Affectionate Nickname: Her fellow League of Villian members call her "Big Sis Mag".
Awesomeness by Analysis:
- She knocks Pixie-Bob out at the beginning of the camp raid, recognizing her Earth Flow as the most dangerous Quirk the heroes had on their side.
The Brute: She's strong enough to keep up with the physically-intimidating Tiger without even using her Quirk. Given her rather typical criminal record, she appears to be there to provide the Vanguard Action Squad some more muscle. Course, her perceptiveness and being rather sane proved to be a nice bonus.
Carry a Big Stick: That is her weapon.
Establishing Character Moment: As soon as the camp raid began, she used her Quirk to yank Pixie-Bob away from the other Pussycats and then smashed her over the head with her giant magnet, knocking Pixie-Bob out while also breaking the helmet and visor she used to monitor her Quirk. This showcases Magne's intelligence, as she took out the most powerful of the Pussycats first, while also showing her powerful strength.
Lady Looks Like a Dude: She wears male clothing and has some chin stubble. It can be presumed that being a villain makes it hard to undergo a full transition.
Locked Out of the Loop: Doesn't know about aliens. Until Chapter 84
Magnetism Manipulation: Has a unique variation that takes gender into account in order to work. She can magnetize men into "south poles" and women in "north poles", with the subjects attracting or repelling themselves from each other depending on their gender. She can't use it on herself, however.
Mauve Shirt: Magne is one of several new members to the League of Villains, introduced as a member of the "Vanguard Action Squad" during the attack on the training camp.
Secret-Keeper: He knows about the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.

Spinner

Species: Human
Quirk: Gecko

A young man with a reptile-based Quirk inspired by Stain's philosophy who joins the League to continue his idol's work.

Fanboy: Of Stain, modelling himself after the Hero Killer.
Impossibly Cool Weapon: His "Super Knife Knife Sword" is a giant blade made out of a bunch of smaller blades. It's just as childishly awesome as it sounds.
Lizard Folk: How he looks thanks to his Quirk.
Locked Out of the Loop: Doesn't know about aliens. Until Chapter 84
Shout-Out: If Stain resembled a Darker and Edgier Ninja Turtle, then Spinner is a darker and edgier Ninja Turtle with Bebop's haircut.
Secret-Keeper: He knows about the Omnitrix's true nature and the existence of aliens.
Too Many Belts: He wears several belts on his body and even a few on his sword.
Wall Crawl: This is, supposedly, the only real power his Quirk, "Gecko", gives him; the ability to cling to any surface he wants.

Muscular

Goto Imasuji

Species: Human
Quirk: Muscle Augmentation

A newer recruit of the League, a bloodthirsty veteran villain who is responsible for killing Kota's parents. He and Midoriya end up facing off during the Forest Training Camp Arc, resulting in his defeat and capture.

His Quirk is "Pump Up", which allows him to produce muscle fibers to greatly increase his strength and durability.

Attack! Attack! Attack!: What happens when a Dumb Muscle villain with no subtlety and a monstrously powerful Quirk wants to shed some blood. His power puts Midoriya so far on the defensive that he doesn't even need to worry about defending himself. This backfires on him when Deku goes into a righteous rage and uses his new dinosaur transformation that buries him in a mountain.
Ax-Crazy: If his brutal bloodlust wasn't proof enough, his damaged eye makes him look even crazier. He's so incredibly homicidal that he would even be willing to murder children just for fun. Also, he only joined the League because it gave him an excuse to kill people. When freed from jail, he quickly kills all guards in sight and begins attacking cities to massacre innocent people.
Battle Cry: "SHOW ME YOUR BLOOD!!!"
The Berserker: Muscular rushes into combat full force without any regard for his own safety. Considering the sheer power he has on his side, he's likely never had to. His recklessness in his fight with Midoriya shows that he rarely had any sort of skill behind his attacks and was moreso focused on charging in like a rampaging bull hoping to deal as much damage as possible.
Body Horror: His Quirk buffs him up so hard that his muscle fibers actually cannot be contained by his skin.
Boom, Headshot!: He was only defeated by a full power punch to the face by Humungousaur.
Contrived Coincidence: He comes across Kota during the attack on the training camp, and also just happens to be the villain who killed Kota's parents. When Muscular realizes their connection, he jokingly claims that it must have been fate.
Crippling Overspecialization: He uses his quirk to brutally murder the waterhose heroes.
Curb Stomp Cushion: He may have slain both members of Water Hose, but they managed to take out his eye before being defeated.
Didn't See That Coming: He had no idea that Midoriya could push himself to get as strong as he did, especially after thoroughly overwhelming him mere seconds before.
Explaining Your Powers to the Enemy: He explains his Quirk to Midoriya right before attacking. He even lampshades it, saying that it's a way for him to brag and prove that he could take on his strongest transformations like Four Arms and Rath.
Expy:
- Of Eddie Brock/Venom and Kletus Cassidy/Carnage from Marvel. Like Venom, both are muscular and blond in their normal form before getting organic armor that increases their size while having similar powers to the main hero. Like Carnage, both are unhinged, bloodthirsty and violent. Their skins are also red, like the blood they love to spill.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens.

Mustard

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20221230_132756_chrome2.jpg

Species: Human
Quirk: Gas

A newer recruit to the League. A high school age boy inspired by the League's Stain video.

Adaptational Expansion: He was given control over the Chainsaw Nomu instead of Dabi.
Bizarre Alien Senses: Can sense movement within his gas cloud.
Evil Counterpart: To Shinso. Highlighted more so then in canon as they actually interact.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens.
Didn't See That Coming: He tried to turn Shinso but he failed.
Required Secondary Powers: Averted. He's not immune to his own gas hence the gas mask.
School Uniforms are the New Black: Wears a gakuran, a male school uniform.
Super Villain Packing Heat: Carries a 38 revolver.
Teens Are Monsters:

Moonfish

Quirk: Bladetooth

A newer recruit to the League. An escaped death row inmate with a taste for human flesh.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: He was beaten to a pulp by tokoyami when he used the Darker Dark Shadow to break his teeth.
I Am a Humanitarian: He is an elite cannibal who tried to eat Bakugou and Shoto.
Locked Out of the Loop: Does not know about aliens.
