Eri Hasigawa/Ringo Raiku - Shazam

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eri_shazam.png
Click here to see Eri 

The Eri of Earth 2014.05/Earth 2014-E, she is the heiress of the Hasigawa Family, a powerful yakuza organization. Once powerless and trapped by her grandfather's subordinate, Kai Chisaki, her purity of heart inspired the wizard Shazam to bestow her with the powers of the gods, allowing her to become Earth's Mightiest Mortal, Shazam. Now a Vigilante, she hopes to save others with her new abilities and escape the clutches of her captors.

  • Adaptational Badass:
    • Goes from scared Broken Bird to Badass Adorable armed with the powers of the gods, becoming nearly unrivaled in speed, strength, and durability.
    • In regards to her powers, she still has the Shock and Awe powers of Shazam, even though she doesn't draw on the Power of Zeus in this story.
  • Alliterative Name: Her alias, Ringo Raiku, is this on top of being a reference to the similarly alliterative name of Billy Batson.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Eri's "parent", Kai Chisaki, is horribly abusive to her and treats her as materials for use in creating his Quirk Destroying Bullets and says that she has no value otherwise.
  • Badass Adorable: She's just six years old, but her powers as Shazam allow her to go toe-to-toe with any number of Villains, albeit not without difficulty due to her inexperience.
  • Break the Haughty: Eri is proud of the power she has while acting as Shazam and doesn't want to go back to being weak, terrified Eri. But once she ends up on the losing end of the fight against Lord Nippo and Madame Libertine, her confidence is shattered and only goes further down the pits when she's cornered by Chisaki. Her willpower is restored when she realizes that there's more to being powerful than just having power, fighting back against Chisaki and turning the tables on Nippo and Libertine with her new pet, Tawky Tawny.
  • Broken Bird: She was constantly killed and restored over and over again by Chisaki to create his Quirk Destroying Bullets and is traumatized by her experiences. Luckily, the wizard came and offered her a way out of her captivity, but the trauma remains even after she's become Earth's Mightiest Mortal.
  • Clark Kenting: More comprehensive than most, but she hides her identity by dyeing her hair and putting on a pair of Beebo blue glasses.
  • Combo Platter Powers: She has been imbued with the powers of the same gods and goddesses associated with Mary Marvel, the Grace of Selene, the Strength of Hippolyta, the Skill of Ariadne, the Fleetness of Zephyrus, the Beauty of Aurora, and the Wisdom of Minerva.
  • Composite Character: This is a version of Eri who's combined with Billy Batson to become her world's version of Shazam, with her even getting a job at her town's radio station. However, she also has aspects of Mary Marvel's character, drawing power from the same deities Mary did pre-Crisis and, of course, by being a girl.
  • The Dog Bites Back: While she initially wilts underneath Chisaki's gaze after he corners her after she transformed back into Eri, she realizes the meaning of the wizard's words: "There's a difference between having power and being powerful", and decides to fight back when he threatens a cat she saved, successfully making Chisaki back off when she rams her horn into his eye and transforms back into Shazam.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: It's heavily implied that Eri's friend Biyou has a crush on her.
  • Flight: Eri has this thanks to the Fleetness of Zephyrus.
  • Gosh Darn It to Heck!: Eri says "golly gosh darn it" while coming up with an excuse to slink away and become Shazam after hearing about a humanoid crocodile attacking a farmer's market, referencing the speech patterns of Billy Batson in The Golden Age of Comic Books.
  • Horn Attack: She rams her horn into Chisaki's eye.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Lord Nippo manages to stab her in the side with a Nth Metal katana, forcing her to retreat.
  • Improbable Age: She becomes a professional radio reporter at six years old.
  • Kid Hero: She's only six years old and a powerful Vigilante.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: "Be Humble" exposes Eri's entire tragic backstory that was only laid out in Internship Arc, one of the longest and latest arcs of the main My Hero Academia story.
  • Meaningful Name: Her alias, "Ringo Raiku", is this two-fold. Ringo is the Japanese word for "apple", Eri's Trademark Favorite Food, and Raiku contains the character for "lightning", which references the lightning that turns her into Shazam. To a lesser extent, it can also literally be translated to "likes apples".
  • Named by the Adaptation: This story gives Eri the last name "Hasigawa".
  • Older Alter Ego: Her superhero identity, Shazam, is a stunning older woman who draws countless male admirers. She takes advantage of her older appearance to rent an apartment.
  • Powered by a Forsaken Child: Her cells were used as the prime matter for a drug-dealing operation and essential to the development of Quirk Destroying Bullets.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Eri is a member of the Hasigawa family, a yakuza family from the Catwoman comics. Not only that, but her grandfather being Tatsuo Hasigawa means she has a direct connection to Eiko Hasigawa, the third Catwoman.
  • Samaritan Syndrome: While fleeing from Chisaki, she sees that the cat she helped earlier trying to protect her. Chisaki, disgusted with the cat's uncleanliness, tries to use his Quirk to kill the cat. This is what gets Eri to turn around and stop him by ramming her horn into Chisaki's eye.
  • Secret Identity: She uses her Older Alter Ego to rent out an apartment. After taking the wizard's words to heart, she creates the identity of "Ringo Raiku", dyes her hair red, and wears Beebo-blue glasses while in her original form to hide from Chisaki, attending elementary school and becoming the youngest reporter at a local radio station.
  • Sexier Alter Ego: The Wizard's lightning turns her into an attractive older woman.
  • Statuesque Stunner: As Shazam.
  • Super-Intelligence: Eri has this thanks to the Wisdom of Minerva, allowing her to instantly recognize the Spear of Destiny.
  • Super-Reflexes: Eri has this thanks to the Skill of Ariadne in regards to fighting and the Grace of Selene in regards to basic movement.
  • Super-Speed: Another power Eri gains from the Fleetness of Zephyrus, allowing her to catch bullets and dodge lightning bolts.
  • Super-Strength: Eri has this thanks to the Strength of Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother.
  • Super-Toughness: Eri is incredibly durable thanks to the Strength of Hippolyta and she never has to sleep while acting as Shazam. However, this durability is magic-based and it gets disrupted by the Nth Metal katana used by Lord Nippo.
  • So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Thanks to the Beauty of Aurora, Eri constantly has people ogling her as Shazam. With her only being six, she's naturally uncomfortable about it.
  • Trauma Button: Eri is terrified of Chisaki because of how he'd kill her and reconstruct her over and over to make his Quirk Destroying Bullets, instantly wilting under his gaze.
  • World's Most Beautiful Woman: Aurora's blessing makes Eri an incredibly stunning adult woman who draws numerous admirers. Eri, who is only six years old, is understandably uncomfortable with this.
  • Younger Than They Look: Her Older Alter Ego belies the fact that she's just six years old.

    Melissa Shield - (Captain) Atom Shield 

Melissa Shield - (Captain) Atom Shield

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/atom_shield_neither_a_bird_nor_a_plane_its_deku_1.png

The Melissa Shield of Earth 2014.18, she is the Quirkless daughter of All Might’s best friend David Shield. During a hostage situation, Melissa attacked the leader Villain to allow her fellow captives to escape... but the Villain throws her into an experimental rocket run by the radioactive matter known as U-235. Under normal circumstances she should have died, and she did, but the radiation allowed her consciousness to survive and piece together a new body. Now reborn as the Quantum Superwoman of her Earth with the power to manipulate reality. Melissa strives to be a Hero as the leader of the United States’ primary superteam the Pax Americana. All the while trying to retain her humanity.

  • Amazing Technicolor Population: She glows blue after her rebirth.
  • The Anti-Nihilist: Thanks to her talk with All Might, Melissa was able to realize the beauty of life and how the randomness of it all can lead to people like All Might. Biological randomness is not the only thing that makes humans so unique. Their ability to be shaped by their experiences defines them too. This resolidifies Melissa’s desire to become a Hero.
  • Back to Front: Her story opens with All Might's assassination and ends with the day she got her powers.
  • Beware the Superman: Many characters including Question and Peacemaker express some amount of fear at the reality that Melissa has god-like powers and can one day realize she doesn’t need to deal with pesky things like human governments or morality.
  • Came Back Strong: Melissa used to be Quirkless, but was reborn with the powers of a god.
  • Came Back Wrong: Melissa’s revival and being able to see multiple times and realities have done a number on her sanity and were slowly stripping her of empathy for humanity. She willingly injects herself with a drug cocktail in order to keep her Quantum Senses at a threshold level, making Melissa’s emotional state range from lucid to sudden bursts of powerful and uncontrollable anger or sadness.
  • Composite Character: Of the Captain Atom of Earth-4 and Melissa Shield.
  • Death by Origin Story: Melissa Shield did in fact die that day, but the radiation of U-235 allowed for Melissa to be reborn as Atom Shield.
  • Despair Event Horizon:
    • In a Moment of Weakness and strained emotions, Melissa accidentally turns over two hundred people into stone statues when she visited her old childhood park.
    • She suffers another when she realizes that she’s too late to stop the plot to assassinate All Might and that Sam, a man she trusted and saw as family, both took a part in it and made sure that she could do nothing to stop it.
  • Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Wolfram tries to negotiate with her by holding her father at gunpoint. She responds by instantly vaporizing Wolfram.
  • The Dreaded: Not even the forces of Earth 2014.50 want to invade her world without having some way to disrupt her powers.
  • Drugs Are Good: At least, only if they keep a godlike entity somewhat grounded with the rest of humanity.
  • Expy: Of Dr. Manhattan and Captain Allen Adam a.k.a Captain Atom in terms of power, but who managed to realize the beauty of humanity in spite of her ascended existence far earlier than them.
  • Foil:
    • To Midoriya/Superman, in that both have godlike powers and are inspired into being heroes like All Might. However, while Midoriya injured his childhood friend after gaining his powers due to lack of control, Melissa actually killed numerous people after losing control of her newfound Reality Warper abilities. Midoriya prefers to keep his origins a secret and live the life of another Hero-in-Training, Melissa becomes a Hero almost immediately and uses her powers openly to change the world. Midoriya is closely connected with humanity and its culture despite being born on an entirely different planet. But Melissa, who was born a human and raised normally within its culture, is implied to be drifting away in spite of her best efforts and realizing the beauty of it because of her newfound Quantum Senses.
    • In some ways, Melissa is slowly becoming one to the Heroes of My Hero Academia. While Heroes are looked up to for the most part, Melissa’s presence in the world is met with a mix of awe and fear. While Heroes are generally used akin to policemen to handle Villains, the United States Government uses Melissa as a living weapon and nuclear deterrent. While for the most part Heroes are loyal government employees, Melissa is not beholden to do anything she doesn’t want to do and is practically humoring her government with their desires rather than the other way around.
      President Flashman: C-Come on now Melissa. Sweetie. Honey. I can't allow you to just...
      Melissa: Allow?
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: After becoming Atom Shield, she ditches her glasses entirely.
  • A God I Am Not: Melissa is very unnerved by how some people in the Middle East began actually worshiping her. In spite of her immense powers, Melissa does not see herself as a god.
  • Good Is Not Soft: She wants to make the world a better place, but she won't hesitate to use the Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique to get information by slowly turning the person she's interrogating into salt when pushed far enough. She vaporizes Wolfram for trying to hold her father hostage.
  • Heroic BSoD: She collapses on the ground and sobs in anguish when she learns that All Might is going to be assassinated and there's nothing she can do to stop it.
  • Irony: Her desire to use her godlike powers and the Pax to save the world, which itself is inspired by her admiration for All Might, is what ultimately drives Peacemaker to assassinate All Might and thus make the future uncertain.
  • Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: While interrogating her "Uncle Sam", she slowly turns him into salt to get him to talk.
  • Lonely at the Top: Her godly powers and intelligence isolatesher from the rest of humanity, as she sees things they can't and is treated like a tactical weapon and a hazard more than a person.
  • Mood-Swinger: While Melissa is lucid most of the time, she has sudden bursts of happiness, enthusiasm, anger, despair, and other emotions at unpredictable times. It’s noted that an increase in her emotional range is usually due to the drugs in her system wearing off.
  • My God, What Have I Done?:
    • She's horrified when she accidentally turns 200 people to stone while visiting her old childhood park.
    • She breaks down in tears when she learns that All Might is going to be assassinated just to install her as the new Symbol of Peace.
  • Nice Girl: Despite her immense power and reclusiveness, Melissa is honestly trying to be a great Hero and goes out of her way to make sure the hostages of I-Island are comfortable after she teleports them out. She's disturbed when people treat her with awe and fear, believing that someone with as much power as her couldn't care about mere mortals like them.
  • The Omniscient: Melissa can view the past, present, and future simultaneously but is limited to her own experiences. This helps her regain her ability to care about humanity, as she wishes to see how her actions will change the course of people’s lives and future generations.
  • The Paragon: Melissa wants to be able to help and inspire people like All Might, but many people are too scared of her to use her as a role model. The U.S. government tries to invoke this by assassinating All Might in hopes of installing Melissa as the new Symbol of Peace, but the jury's out on whether it worked or just made her very, very, angry.
  • Physical Goddess: She's virtually invincible due to her ability to manipulate reality and control matter with a thought. There's a reason why people are afraid of her despite her best efforts. She's even referred to as a god on multiple occasions.
  • Reality Warper: Melissa’s “Quantum Senses” allow her to create matter, turn things including flesh into other elements, create life, fly, move objects with her mind, and other things that haven’t been shown.
  • Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted. Melissa begins changing society by using her powers in order to force electric cars into becoming the new standard and taking the trash out of the oceans. It’s hinted that flying electric cars are going to become a reality because of her.
  • Teen Genius: Melissa was already a skilled inventor, but her transformation has increased her intelligence tenfold. She’s planning to create a device that will fix the ozone layer on top of having her hands in all the other projects on I-Island, which is already one of the most technologically advanced institutions on Earth.
  • Tranquil Fury: Not that it doesn’t stop Wolfram from practically pissing himself.

    Christopher Smith - Peacemaker 

Christopher Smith - Peacemaker

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/73a8a509_b42b_4728_8136_45c3e3c86082.jpeg

The Peacemaker of Earth 2014.18. Christopher Smith is a Major within the U.S. Military and also one of the most famous heroes. After failing to save Melissa Shield in the aftermath of the U-235 incident, Christopher went down a dark path of depression and self-loathing that also caused him to become more brutal on the field. After Melissa was reborn, he became her mentor/handler before becoming a member of the Pax Americana. Unfortunately, this along with his patriotism and belief in Melissa’s goals caused him to go down a dark path.

  • Eagleland: Type 3. Christopher may be a brutal Hero acting as the muscle of his country, but he is ultimately an idealist seeking peace for all. Though he would prefer it if his country was the one who brought it.
  • Fallen Hero: Once a well-respected Hero, Christopher’s belief that only Melissa could save the world made him decide assassinating All Might was the only way to turn her dream into a reality.
  • Irony: Peacemaker assassinates All Might so that Melissa can save the world as the new Symbol of Peace and create a peaceful future. However, his act might just as well put the entire world in jeopardy.
  • My Greatest Failure: Being unable to save Melissa from dying hit him hard, and he is partially driven to believe her due to his unresolved guilt.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Melissa’s upgrades in his gear resulted in Christopher becoming a much more effective Hero.
  • Tragic Villain: Peacemaker assassinates All Might. However, Christopher does this because he wholeheartedly believes it is the only way to ultimately save the world. Not only that, but the nature of his Quirk means that he will forever be haunted by the atrocity he has performed.
  • Trick Bullet: The bullet he used to kill All Might had a black tip designed to punch through nearly any substance, a Quirk-destroying element obtained through the American government's yakuza contacts, and an explosive component that would cause it to detonate as soon as it entered a human body.

    Vic Sage - The Question 

Vic Sage - The Question

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/05ff22cc_2eb3_42d1_83cc_946487476b4e.jpeg

The Question of Earth 2014.18. Vic Sage is a famous conspiracy theorist of the web, espousing theories ranging from Destro once possessing the Holy Grail to the Japanese government feeding their Heroes drugs to keep them working to maintain their crime rate. However, he also leads a double life as The Question who sticks to the shadows and occasionally uses the clues of some of Vic Sage’s crazier fans to bust rogue militia groups and sex traffickers. After being threatened with being exposed as Vic Sage, the Question is now a member of the Pax Americana. But rather than being a good little soldier, Question seeks to use his new position to uncover the skeletons in the U.S. Military’s closet...

  • Armored Closet Gay: Question’s file notes that he has repressed his homosexuality to an extreme degree, also explaining why he sneers at Nightshade and feels more comfortable around Ted Kord.
  • Badass Longcoat: His signature coat remains an integral part of his outfit.
  • Coat, Hat, Mask: He carries the outfit trifecta like an old noir detective, with the addition of the mask to conceal his face.
  • Complexity Addiction: Question tends to try and look beneath the surface level of any investigation he conducts. Unfortunately, this means he tends to overlook the fact that some of his cases have a straightforward conclusion.
  • Conspiracy Theorist: While he isn’t as bad as Vic Sage’s target audience, Question actually does buy some of the stuff he sells and uses his paranoia as a drive to continue investigating conspiracies that turn out to be true.
  • Expy: Of Rorschach with both being disturbed vigilantes who seek to uncover a world-shattering conspiracy involving their Physical God teammate. However, unlike Rorschach, Question isn’t nearly as disturbed and sees value in his alter-ego rather that wholly subsuming into his Question identity.
  • Fatal Flaw: His Complexity Addiction leads to Question overlooking the fact that Project David was a straightforward plot to assassinate All Might. This makes him and Melissa waste time investigating when they could have used it to protect and warn All Might.
  • He-Man Woman Hater: Question has a very low opinion of women and often goes out of his way to make sexist statements around his teammate Nightshade. An explanation for this is that he’s acting out due to to his own unresolved issues.
  • Hypocrite: Question holds a majority of Vic Sage’s fans in contempt, considering them overly paranoid idiots who’ll buy anything fed to them, yet he’s someone who’s subscribed to Integral Theory which is a debunked pseudo-science.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Vic Sage is an online conspiracy theorist who’s wild accusations make big news. Word of God states that he was intentionally designed to be his world’s equivalent of Alex Jones.
  • Straight Gay: One wouldn’t be able to tell he was gay, due to the only indicators being his unreasonable distaste for his female teammates and being more at ease around Ted Kord.

Earth 2014.26

    Izuku Midoriya - Green Lantern 
The Midoriya from Earth 2014.26. Like his manga canon counterpart, Midoriya was a Quirkless boy who idolized Heroes, especially All Might, and dreamed of being one himself. Once resigned to never be able to become a Pro Hero, a fateful encounter with a dying alien would give him the chance to change his fate.

    Abin Sur - Green Lantern 
The former Green Lantern of Sector 2814. Fatally woounded by Atrocitus, he crashes on planet Earth and gives his ring and power battery to Izuku Midoriya.

    Atrocitus - Red Lantern 
Founder and leader of the Red Lantern Corps. He's in an open war against the Green Lantern Corps and plans to eradicate them from the face of the universe.

  • Hero Killer: He and his Corps have gone on a murder spree against Green Lanterns. Abin Sur is only his most recent victim.

Earth 2014.43

    Kouichi Haimawari - The Crawler 

Kouichi Haimawari - The Crawler

The Kouichi of Earth 2014.43. Much like his home series, Kouichi was a vigilante who dedicated his life to helping people due to being unable to take the exam necessary to get into a Hero school. He had adventures with fellow vigilantes Pop Step and Knuckleduster, and did his part in helping to save the city from the Trigger drug epidemic. However, in this world Dracula decided to take up residence in Japan, forcing Kouichi and his friends to try and stop his goal in infecting Japan and turning it into a country of vampires. Unfortunately, they are unable to stop Dracula from turning Musutafu into a city of vampires, and Kouichi becomes a vampire to slay Dracula. After that, Kouichi gave into his cravings for human blood and now feeds on Villains and other criminals with the help of his Vampire League which is comprised of Heroes he willingly turned.
  • Adaptation Species Change: Downplayed when compared to most examples, as while Kouichi was born human, he eventually turned into a vampire.
  • And Then John Was a Zombie: He willingly allowed himself to be turned by Tanya in order to fight Dracula. At some point, he succumbed to his urges to feed, taking over Musutafu in the process.
  • Became Their Own Antithesis: He's a vampire hunter who became as terrible as the things he used to kill.
  • Benevolent Boss: It’s noted he could force the rest of his Vampire League to do his bidding, but he lets them voice their opinions and generally have free will. Or as much as their new state of being can allow.
  • Fallen Hero: Once a well-meaning Vigilante, Kouichi has become a vampire that’s willing to brutally murder and feed on Villains to satiate his thirst. He even infects other Heroes and recruits Toga as his human familiar to further his quest for blood.
  • My Greatest Failure: Despite his best efforts and killing Dracula, Musutafu is still turned into a city of vampires. The fact that it’s considered a ghost town implies that he as well as the vampire hunters were forced to kill the now-vampirized denizens.
  • Shout-Out: Many of his vampire powers are based on those demonstrated by Dracula and his inability to save Musutafu echoes the fate of 'Salem's Lot.

    Dracula 

Dracula

THE vampire who resides in Earth 2014.43. Managing to survive Van Helsing and his allies’ attempt to slay him, Dracula has lived on into the modern day. After managing to survive even the attempt on his life by Gotham City’s Batman, Dracula went to Japan for his next meal. But when he consumes the blood of one Izuku Midoriya, Dracula decided to become more ambitious and turn the entire country into his den. He was only stopped by the efforts of Koichi and his friends, but the Prince of Darkness managed to infect the entire city of Musutafu.
  • Daywalking Vampire: He used to be weakened by sunlight, but he loses this weakness completely after consuming Midoriya's Kryptonian blood.
  • Dirty Old Man: He tells Ibara that he originally planned to turn her mother and then have sex with her on top of her father’s corpse, but decided it was too much effort.
  • Evil Is Petty: Dracula constantly stalks and torments the six-year-old Ibara for having the audacity to help slay some of the vampires under his control.
  • Sadist: Enjoys tormenting and mocking the vampire hunters, and even sees fit to rub in their helplessness before he kills Ibara’s mother and Father Muroi.
  • Smug Snake: Years of avoiding death and the downfall of true belief within all religions has made Dracula very assured of his continued survival and superiority over the human race.
  • Truer to the Text: Unlike most popular depictions, this Dracula doesn’t have a fatal weakness to sunlight but it does rob him of most of his powers.
  • Villainous Breakdown: In his final moments, Dracula rages how it can’t be Koichi who slays him and that he can never die.
  • Worthy Opponent: Even years after his death, Van Helsing is the only one Dracula speaks of with a modicum of respect.
  • Would Hurt a Child: His first victim in Musutafu is a six-year-old Midoriya.

Earth 2014.50

    Nana Shimura - Lady Inanna 

Nana Shimura - Lady Inanna

The seventh and ninth holder of One For All. She was a passionate Hero who dreamed of making a world where everyone could smile without fear. But after the tragic death of her protege, Toshinori Yagi, she was given back the Quirk she bequeathed to him and became bent on defeating All For One, or rather, Seimei. After unlocking the full power of One For All, she defeats her nemesis and initially intends to take him in before deciding to end him and the threat he posed once and for all. Now bent on bringing peace by any means necessary, she becomes the world's greatest enforcer and brings the Earth to its knees, culling those who would oppose her vision of a World of Smiles.
  • Action Girl: She's the most powerful woman in the world thanks to One For All, able to bring nations to their knees with her power and charisma.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: Retroactively, as the sidestory was written before the manga revealed Nana's Quirk.
  • Berserk Button: She seems to have developed two of them. Being reminded of her past identity as Nana Shimura, and any perceived criticism towards her rule. She was willing to kill two innocent people who inadvertently pushed these buttons on two separate occasions.
  • Beware the Superman: After unlocking One For All's full power, she used her powers to make everyone bend to her will.
  • Combat Tentacles: She has the ability to produce black tendrils from her arms to grab and restrain entities as powerful as All For One. It's Black Whip, the Quirk one of the previous holders of One For All.
  • Composite Character: Of Nana Shimura and Justice Lord Superman as seen in Justice League. In her introduction story, she kills All For One, who was the prime minister of Japan, after he killed someone dear to her. Her turn to extremism came from his deconstruction of her attachment to the law and its justice, turning her into a brutal but well-intentioned dictator. Her costume, consisting entirely of gold, white, and silver, is evocative of the Sixth Dimension Superman as seen in Justice League (2018). She also displays traits similar to the Dawnbreaker, who took a power given to him and twisted it with his sheer hatred and desire for vengeance.
  • Deadly Euphemism: "Let's talk about it." sounds innocuous enough, until you realize that it's her way of saying she's going to pull them aside and turn someone to dust with a kiss.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: She kills a reporter for the mistake of Saying Too Much and decides to kill her stylist for making her costume look too much like her old outfit.
  • Fallen Hero: She admits that All Might would have never approved of her actions as Lady Inanna and that she's straying far from the ideals of a Hero. But in the end, she does it anyway to impose her vision of order on society.
  • For Want Of A Nail: The divergence point in her story is that All Might chose to stay and fight with her rather than let her perform her Heroic Sacrifice, resulting in him giving back One For All before his death.
  • Gold and White Are Divine: Her costume is gold and white and she answers to the name of an ancient goddess.
  • Good Is Not Nice: She tears All For One's arm clean off his body and shoots an air bullet to gouge his eye out. Even as Lady Inanna, she sees herself as this, with her follower's deaths and the deaths of her opponents as necessary sacrifices to produce a World of Smiles.
  • Heartbroken Badass: She's the most powerful woman in the world, but she's still grieving the death of Toshinori and her husband at All For One's hands.
  • Hero Killer: Not too farfetched considering she rules the world with an iron fist and kills anyone who disagrees with her. The mentioning of the Skytree massacre hints towards this
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted. She told All Might and Gran Torino to run while she held off All For One, but All Might came back to help her fight, only to perish in the ensuing battle.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: The woman who imparted All Might's ideals to him is twisted into a ruthless dictator by his death and the torment of being confronted with her own inadequacies by All For One.
  • Kiss of Death: She kills All For One by turning him to dust with a kiss and calls it the best one of her life. This later becomes her preferred method to kill those who annoy her. The only downside to this is having to wash the taste of dust out of her mouth. This ability is shared by her grandson, Tenko a.k.a. Tomura Shigaraki who can disintegrate anything he touches with all five fingers.
  • Knight Templar: She's insistent in her belief that everything she's doing will produce a World of Smiles, even as people are terrified to even speak to her.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: The story doesn't bother to hide the power available to the ninth wielder of One For All: the ability to use the Quirks of all of its previous holders in addition to her own.
  • Like a Son to Me: She loves Toshinori as she would her own son and his death haunts her to this day.
  • Mama Bear: She loved Toshinori like her own son and his death triggered her Roaring Rampage of Revenge that ended in her becoming Lady Inanna.
  • Meaningful Name: Inanna is a Sumerian goddess of fertility, love, and war, all of which feed into her desire to bring peace and smiles through force.
  • Multiversal Conqueror: She intends on travelling through the multiverse to bring "smiles" to all of them, whether they like it or not. She has her sights set on Earth 2014.00 as the first universe on her list.
  • My Greatest Failure: She considers her failure to stop All For One from killing Toshinori to be this.
    Inanna: I failed the boy I saw as my own son, reaped rewards from his untimely death, and do you know what he did as the life faded from his eyes? He smiled. In spite of it all, the boy smiled at me. We're all idiots, aren't we?
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: She easily catches a grenade and watches it explode as it fails to scratch her.
  • Open Secret: She freely speaks about the true nature of One For All in stark contrast to her predecessors who all kept it a secret.
  • Sanity Slippage: It's clear that the deaths of people she holds dear to her have not been good for her sanity. All Might's idol and teacher descends into murderous sociopathy in her quest to rid the world of villains and those who oppose her ideology.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: At the end of his Breaking Speech, she tells him to shut up and calls him by his first name before silencing him once and for all with a Kiss of Death.
  • Speak of the Devil: Inverted. She insists All For One be called by his real name, Seimei. To call him All For One is to buy into the idea that he's an unstoppable monster. Now that he's been killed, he's merely a man who stood in the way of her World of Smiles.
  • Start of Darkness: Her turn to extremism came after the death of her beloved protege, prompting a Roaring Rampage of Revenge that she could never leave behind.
  • Tautological Templar: In her eyes, anyone who opposes her is wrong and deserves to die for disrupting her World of Smiles. Those who are dead have no right to interfere with the affairs of the living. Therefore, it's impossible for her to be wrong.
    Inanna: I didn't do anything wrong, the men who held the guns and fired didn't do anything wrong; the only people who did something wrong were the ones gathered in the Skytree for the sake of undermining this World of Smiles. The only people who were in the wrong are dead, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with talking about it, right?
  • That Man Is Dead: The moment she killed Seimei is when she forsook the name Nana Shimura, instead choosing to be called Lady Inanna. The idea of wearing a costume remotely reminiscent of her old one is enough to make her want to murder her stylist.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: She was an adherent to what a Hero entails: a protector who defended the law and its justice. But after that justice ends in Toshinori's death, she decides to start removing the blights from the World of Smiles she intends to create with lethal force.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: She believes that no matter how much blood she spills, all of it will be worth it so long as she creates a World of Smiles, even if it's one created through tyranny.
  • Vigilante Man: Becomes this after Toshinori's death, battling the police, JSDF, and even other Heroes to get to All For One.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: She wants nothing more than to bring smiles to everyone in the multiverse, even if it means killing everyone who threatens the order she's imposing on it.

    Toshinori Yagi - All Might 

Toshinori Yagi - All Might

In most other realities, Toshinori Yagi would go on to become the world's greatest Hero, All Might, after his master's Heroic Sacrifice to buy him time to escape. On this Earth, he chooses to stay and help Nana fight All For One, only to pay for it with his life, but not before handing One For All back to her. Unbeknownst to him, this decision would create an entity far more powerful, dangerous, and vicious than All For One ever was...

  • An Arm and a Leg: All For One ripped off his arm during their battle. Nana responds in kind during their confrontation in the Diet Building.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: He bleeds out in Nana's arms after getting an enormous hole punched in his torso and losing an arm to All For One.
  • Expy: Is one to the Flash of the Justice Lords universe from Justice League to a degree, as it is his death that caused Nana to become the Well-Intentioned Extremist that she is in the current day, much like how the Flash was to Justice Lord!Superman.
  • For Want Of A Nail: He decision to stay instead of run as he was told led to his death and his decision to give One For All back to Nana, starting the cascade of events that turned Nana into Inanna.
  • Go Out with a Smile: Dies with a smile on his face after giving back One For All.
  • Im Dying Please Take My Macguffin: He hands One For All back to Nana just before he dies from his wounds.
  • Killed By The Adaptation: He perishes in this story when in most other worlds he survives.
  • Morality Chain: He was Nana's last remaining link to her ideals. She becomes a Vigilante Man years after his death and soon turns into a Well-Intentioned Extremist in response to All For One's taunts.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He took his teacher's advice to always smile to heart, continuing to smile even in his last moments.
  • Torso with a View: All For One punched a basketball-shaped hole in All Might's torso. He managed to stay alive long enough to give back One For All.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He handed back One For All to ensure that the world wouldn't go without the power needed to defeat All For One. He never imagined that it would turn his beloved teacher into a monster.

    Seimei - All For One 

Seimei - All For One

The user of the Quirk "All For One" and one of the most powerful villains in history. He has been the Archenemy of the users of One For All for over a hundred years, but he meets his end at Nana Shimura's hands years after he killed her protege, All Might.

  • Adaptational Name Change: There’s nothing that suggests that this incarnation has Shigiraki in his name.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Nana tears off his arm in retribution for him doing the same to Toshinori.
  • Break Them by Talking: He deconstructs the notions of Villains Act, Heroes React and claims Nana could have beaten him at any time, but was only stopped by her own ego. It makes her snap and kill him, but not before he manages to savor what he twisted her into.
  • Composite Character: His role in the death of Toshinori and his position as Prime Minister of Japan takes cues from the Lex Luthor of the Justice Lords' universe as seen in Justice League.
  • Go Out with a Smile: He beams as he realizes what he's turned Nana Shimura into just before he dies.
  • Karmic Death: He's killed by the seventh holder of One For All after getting his arm torn off in retribution for what he did to the eighth.
  • Killed By The Adaptation: He's killed by Nana with a kiss instead of being allowed to linger in Tartarus.
  • Power Parasite: All For One allows him to steal the Quirks of others and use them as his own.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Nana to deconstruct her ideals and the M.O. of Heroes, saying that Nana could have taken him in at any time, but chose not to because One For All gave her a sense of purpose, and without All For One she would go back to being another face in the crowd. Initially, she struggles to come up with a retort, but eventually settles on shutting him up with a Kiss of Death.
    All For One: You made a little game of it all: you'd sit around until you caught wind of my latest scheme, barge in to stop me, and succeed in taking down whatever goons I could scrounge up at the time, even though I'd always get away in the end to start the whole thing over in a week's time. You'd tell yourselves and the few people in the know that I was too strong or too cunning for you to take down, but that was all a lie. You went out of your way to keep me around. You all could have killed me time and time again, and it wasn't the law or the will of the people that stopped you; it was your ego. Being a Hero was too important to you, wasn't it? You blame me for your student's death, but in the end, you're just as responsible!

Unknown Earths

    Harry Wells and H.R. Wells 

Harry Wells and H.R. Wells

Two versions of Harrison Wells from unknown Earths. They appear to be friends with the Harrison Wells of Earth 2014.01 and are members of the Council of Wells.

  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Harry and H.R. never interacted with Harrison Wells in The Flash (2014).
  • Alternate Self: They're both alternate versions of Harrison Wells.
  • Anger Born of Worry: Harry is cross with Wells for the latter's dangerous naivete that allowed a Villain to break into S.T.A.R. Labs and leave Wells hospitalized.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: They're absolutely brilliant scientists who can make everything from plasma grenades to skeleton keys to weapons that could destroy the world. They also meet up over beer and play Secret Hitler together when they're bored.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: To differentiate them from Harrison, Harry wears a baseball cap and H.R. wears a fedora.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: To quote H.R.:
    Flash: [after apprehending Rudy Jones] There is some good news, though. I was able to find Rudy, no problem. Didn't put up much of a fight, though not from lack of trying, and CCPD took him in. It didn't take much to get him to talk, either. He didn't give me the name of his partner, but he did say that he was planning on heading to Japan?
    Harry: Why Japan?
    H.R.: Maybe he's gonna make a Godzilla? [everyone gives him a look] What? It's what I'd do.
    Everyone Else: Of course it is.

    Izuku Midoriya 
An Izuku from an unknown Earth who found the Omnitrix in a forest at age 10 and is using it to fight All for One and help people. He is summoned to the Dark Multiverse to fight The Watchman.
  • Arch-Enemy: Despite having the Omnitrix he has yet to battle or hear of Vilgax, so his arch enemy is All for One. Who is also his father.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: A few of his most powerful aliens are this.
    • His most powerful alien he mentions, Shadowrise, is implied to be Weakened by the Light: when in darkness he believes the form could defeat his evil self in under 10 minutes even without Master Control but when exposed to light he doesn't consider using him.
    • Magmazinger is The Juggernaut, an unstoppable form of pure strength than can spew magma and manipulate steam to a point he basically clobbers an entire whose who list of strong alien forms. However Magmazinger negatively affects Izuku's personlity so much that a single insult makes him completely useless.
    • The unseen Holey Moley is implied to be capable of killing his counterpart regardless of what he does, but not only does Izuku avoid lethal force in general, he doesn't even kill fast enough for it to be a viable option.
  • Batman Gambit: How he ends up defeating The Watchman: He gets him to scan Magmazinger after demonstrating the sheer power of the form, and then exploits Magmazinger's crippling Weaksauce Weakness to insults to incapacitate him enough to remove the corrupted Omnitrix with Upgrade.
  • Big Brother Mentor: He gets a sisterly variety back home. All for One also has three daughters alongside himself who were adopted and raised by All Might (Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru) who he mentions to have become a big help to him.
  • Collector of Forms: His Omnitrix adds forms to its database if unfamiliar species are encountered. At the end of his battle with The Watchman, he gains a Irken form.
  • Crossover:
  • Experienced Protagonist: He's had several years of experience before battling The Watchman.
  • Hope Spot: He nearly wins with Swampfire's sleep gas before The Watchman can counter it properly.
  • Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: The fact that The Watchman hates Inko for not preventing him from being born quirkless stuns him so much that The Watchman gets a solid hit on him.
  • The Ghost: He recognizes Heatblast, Lodestar, and Stinkfly, meaning he does have access to them outside of Master Control, but he isn't shown using them. He also mentions Molestache and a few unseen original aliens such as Projectionist, Aquamite, Shadowrise, and Holey Moley.
  • The Mind Is A Play Thing Of The Body: Several of his aliens give him accents or personality quirks he naturally doesn't have, such as Gem Gem's Brooklyn accent or Spidermonkey's monkey noises. He uses Magmazinger's to achieve victory.
  • Multiform Balance: Each alien has its own strengths and weaknesses that Izuku uses as is fit.
  • Power Copying: As he didn't have access to The Watchman's Irken form he scans him automatically and gains access to Lank at the end of the story.
  • Shout-Out: Beyond his crossover nature a few of his attack and form names are shout outs.
    • Gem Gem's name and 'Gem Gem Barrage' attack bring to mind One Piece, specifically Luffy.
    • Magmazinger's name references the Mazinger franchise of mecha shows such as Mazinger Z.
  • Superpower Lottery: While the Omnitrix is a powerful weapon, it still gives the user new forms at random, and Izuku specifically avoids using any he isn't familiar with while fighting The Watchman. It becomes clear that while he has many powerful forms, he is notably lacking in some of the more powerful transformations (he doesn't recognize Feedback, Big Chill, Gravatack, Jetray, Echo Echo or Gax) and many of his most powerful forms come with severe drawbacks.
  • Swiss-Army Hero: The Omnitrix lets him adapt to a variety of situations with a different hero. Temporarily gaining Master Control takes this up to eleven as he doesn't have to transform back into his human form first.
  • Talking Weapon: His Omnitrix is fully sentient and capable of both giving advice and making fun of him.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: Believes that heroes should never kill not even the worst villains.
  • Transformation Name Announcement: Like the Ben of the Alien Force-Ultimate Alien era this Izuku shouts his transformation names out, though it is more in the line of heroes shouting their signature moves or All Might declaring to both the scared and the villanous that 'he is here' than to 'strike fear into his enemies' like Ben did during that time.
  • Weak, but Skilled: Compared to The Watchman he has less familiarity with the more powerful forms and due to the corrupting nature of the Dark Universe the evil Izuku's forms are stronger in general (with evil Humuongosaur and Magmazinger quickly overpowering his own versions in a one on one fight). However he is more experienced with the Omnitrix than The Watchman appears to be and is able to match his evil self and pulls off a few tactical cornerings of his evil self that eventually let him win.

Dark Multiverse

    Izuku Midoriya - The Weaver 

Izuku Midoriya - The Weaver

The Izuku Midoriya of -Earth-2014.25 was once a bright-eyed kid who wanted nothing more than to become a Hero like his idol, All Might. But without a Quirk, he simply didn't have a chance. His fortunes changed when he was bitten by a radioactive spider, but not in the way he expected. Failure after failure slowly twisted his mind, but exposure to an alien symbiote finally made him snap, transforming the well-meaning Spider-Man into the genocidal Weaver.

  • Accidental Murder: He mortally wounds Hatsume by accident when he backhands her into the glass display case holding her alien meteorite, embedding glass shards into her neck in the process.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Unlike the Midoriya from the original manga and from Amazing Fantasy, the Weaver is immensely bitter toward the world around him and refuses to accept whatever mistakes he made in the past and wants to seek revenge.
  • A God Am I: He chooses the name "The Weaver" as he's the one who will be weaving everyone's destinies.
    Weaver: Spider-Man was a weakling who fought an unwinnable battle, but I am a champion who destroys everything in his path! Spider-Man was unable to map out his own fate, but I am The Weaver of everyone's destinies, and the outcome looks bleak for all involved!
  • Body Horror:
    • The more his power grows, the more changes happen to his body. At first, there's no distinguishable changes to his appearance aside from getting a Heroic Build. After that, he grows two extra pairs of arms. Finally, his hair is dyed white, his teeth become fangs, he gains the ability to distend his jaw to freakish extents, and his extra arms become tipped claws.
    • He can forcibly transform others into giant spiders with human heads that obey his every command by biting them and injecting a mutagenic poison. This can also be spread by his spider underlings and the effects can be delayed if he so pleases to turn someone into a Manchurian Agent.
  • Bond Villain Stupidity: Subverted. He foresaw that Bakugou would try to stall for time in order to prepare an ambush for him, but by that point he'd already turned Kirishima into a sleeper agent who converted all of Bakugou's allies into more spiders.
  • Character Exaggeration: He represents one for Midoriya's depiction in Amazing Fantasy, where his latent resentment for others constantly kicking him around is brought to the forefront and is necessary to activate his Venom Strike. But after losing his chance to attend U.A., he doesn't have a mentor to help him work through these feelings in a healthy way, allowing them to fester into misanthropy.
  • Charm Person: As part of his secondary mutations, he gained the ability to produce pheromones that make others like him more. While they won't instantly become friends, it made that connection much easier.
  • Composite Character: He's a twisted parody of the "Midoriya as Spider-Man" story combined with the multi-armed and villainous Spider-Norman as depicted in Spider-Geddon combined with the self-righteous streak and Never My Fault attitude of Eddie Brock.
    • Alternatively, Midoriya mixed with Patton Parnel, the Spider-Monster.
  • The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: Recalling his past as Midoriya is physically painful for him, and he insists that his former identity no longer exists.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: While arguing with Hatsume over his increasingly self-righteous and self-centered behavior, he carelessly backhands her with three of his arms, knocking her into a glass case hard enough for the shards to puncture the arteries in her neck.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: His lack of recognition and subsequent punishments for unauthorized vigilantism gives Midoriya a massive chip on his shoulder that later becomes misanthropy.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • To the Izuku Midoriya of Earth-2014.25 and the Katsuki Bakugou of Earth 2018.688. Having the powers of the former and the symbiote of the latter. The author of Amazing Fantasy explicitly refers to him as the story's bad end.
    • The Weaver represents Midoriya's fear of being consumed by his lingering dark feelings and resentment. While the Midoriya of Earth-2014.25 is horrified by his desire to harm others and deals with those feelings responsibly by using his Venom Strike and talking them out with his friends, his Dark Multiverse counterpart keeps his frustrations bottled up and has no one to turn to, ending with him turning on everyone. This is also reflected by their touch-based powers: Spider-Midoriya's Venom Strike can only be used once a day and is explicitly non-lethal, forcing him to use it carefully and take responsibility should he not have it at a crucial time. Meanwhile, The Weaver can melt anything at any time simply by pressing against it with his fingers, which he uses to maim and kill others.
    • In Bakugou's case, The Weaver is reflective of his desire for recognition, but with none of the morals to temper it. While Venom-Bakugou is an Anti-Hero who doesn't kill and actually tries to protect people despite being a Hero with Bad Publicity, The Weaver's mind deteriorates to the point that he decides to kill or convert everyone as revenge for not giving him the respect he felt he deserved.
  • Evil Gloating: He monologues to Bakugou after tying him up in a web about everything leading up to this point.
  • Fangs Are Evil: After becoming The Weaver, his teeth distend into fangs.
  • Fatal Flaw: Resentment and inability to acknowledge his own mistakes. He constantly carries a chip on his shoulder for everyone he feels wronged him and never acknowledges that his actions have consequences he doesn't want. Unlike Peter, who accepts responsibility for his actions, this Midoriya never does and instead blames everyone else.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: A sweet kid with dreams of becoming a Hero turns into a genocidal supervillain with a god complex who manages to kill one of the most powerful Villains in the setting.
  • Harmless Electrocution: Completely subverted. He presumably used his electrical webbing in a less lethal fashion prior, but he ends up electrocuting Wolfram so badly that his body is a charred husk... but one that's still breathing before he moves for the kill.
  • Hero with Bad Publicity: As his sanity begins to decline, he continues to see himself as this, decrying society and everyone else when his own actions are causing their rejection of him.
  • I Let Gwen Stacy Die: He got especially close to Melissa Shields during their time together and is devastated when he fails to save her in a replication of Gwen Stacy's death. This makes him Jump Off The Slippery Slope as he moves to outright murder Wolfram for it.
  • Manchurian Agent: He foresaw that Bakugou would try to stall for time before calling in The Cavalry, so he injects Kirishima with a slow-acting version of the spider-mutation poison so he'd transform once he got to base and turned everyone else.
  • Might Makes Right: He never takes responsibility for his own actions and believes that everyone would agree with him if he just got stronger.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He sprouts two extra arms after he had Hatsume enhance his powers. They become tipped with claws once he goes full villain.
  • Never My Fault: He constantly blames others for his problems and never takes responsibility for his mistakes. He doesn't believe he should face consequences for maiming Stain or killing Wolfram. In the opening of the story, he blames Bakugou for making him the Weaver, even though he had nothing to do with the Weaver's decision to become a murderer.
    Midoriya: They're calling me a menace, you know. A menace! It's not my fault Stain got maimed the way he did; he shouldn't have been out killing people! It's not my fault that Iida guy died; he shouldn't have been out fighting anyone! None of that's my fault, and everyone would agree with me if I was just stronger!
  • Omnicidal Maniac: He plans on killing or converting everyone on the planet into his mindless spider-minions and it's heavily implied that he succeeds. The narration even refers to him as such.
  • Poisonous Person: He's able to secrete various poisons from his fangs to convert others into his man-spider underlings.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: After bonding with a version of the Venom symbiote, the detailing of his costume turns red and his suit turns pitch black.
  • Sanity Slippage: He starts off as a relatively good kid with a bit of darkness in him, but eventually descends into megalomania and villainy from being Drunk with Power.
  • Shock and Awe: Hatsume creates electric webbing for him to paralyze others with. But too much of it thoroughly subverts Harmless Electrocution.
  • Take That!: He represents several of these, only taken to darkly sinister extents.
    • He's the personification of the Dark Fics and Revenge Fics where Midoriya becomes a murderous sociopath out of retribution for being bullied and mistreated by society. He's treated as profoundly unsympathetic after maiming Stain and he quickly becomes a monster after the I-Island incident.
    • His fall into insanity begins when he is constantly punished for what he believes to be doing the right thing. At first, his frustration seems reasonable, as he was shuttered out of U.A. for defending himself from Bakugou. But his behavior becomes increasingly erratic and unstable when he constantly refuses to admit when he's in the wrong and blames society instead of himself.
    • He also represents how creepy the notion that "if the person is evil, then the hero should kill them" is. While Hatsume was willing to agree that Wolfram deserved to die for his role in Melissa's death, the fact that Midoriya was willing to play judge, jury, and executioner is horrifying to her and a sign of his increasing instability.
  • That Man Is Dead: He insists that "Deku" has been erased and struggles to remember his past before becoming the Weaver.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: He decides that if society is going to continually punish him for being a "Hero", then he might as well be a Villain. Of course, his actions leading up to that point were becoming increasingly less heroic anyways.
  • Title Drop: He calls his Protagonist Journey to Villain an "amazing fantasy" just before he has Spider-Kirishima convert Bakugou, referencing the story his regular multiverse counterpart hails from.
  • Touch of Death: By pressing something hard enough, he can burn through anything from obstacles to people's jaws.
  • The Virus: He's able to secrete a poison through his fangs that can turn anyone into a giant man-spider underling eager to kill things for him.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: A gentle boy with dreams of helping others gets spat on a few too many times for his liking and becomes the greatest threat his world has ever known.
  • With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Bonding with the Venom symbiote sent him jumping off the edge as he develops a god complex.

    Izuku Midoriya - The Watchman 
A version of Izuku from Earth -112619 who found the Omnitrix on Dagobah Beach and used its powers selfishly.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": Gives this to his good counterpart a few times, most notably as an Irken, so ''very'' hammily.
  • Brain Uploading: At the end of the story his mind has merged with the Omnitrix, becoming the Omnitrix itself and able to take over other beings as a host.
  • Character Exaggeration: He's a Izuku with more of a bone to pick about being quirkless taken to an extreme.
  • Collector of Forms: Battling his good counterpart lets him obtain and turn his own versions of Gem Gem, Water Wings, and Magmazinger, as well as obtaining a version of Disk Jockey, though this alien isn't used in battle.
  • Crossover: Beyond his general status as a Izuku based on Ben 10 he also naturally has access to an Irken form.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • While overall an evil version of the Izuku he fights, he is more clearly an evil version of the Izuku from Heroes Never Die It's Hero Time sharing a similar origin story with his Omnitrix. The main difference is that the Izuku of Never Die, for all of his resentments and issues over his status and relationships with figures like All Might and Hizashi, is a hero who wants to do better for the world. The Watchman lacks that trait and is firmly obsessed with the negatives.
    • In the end he becomes the evil counterpart to the good Izuku's Omnitrix. While that Omnitrix is a Talking Weapon who is a Servile Snarker at worst, the Watchman is an Evil Weapon capable of Demonic Possession.
    • In the original series the son of the original Ben 10,000, Ken, did the same trick with Grey Matter that The Watchman did to unlock Master Control. Ken did it to be a hero and, while frustrated with his father babying him, ultimately loved and wanted to be just like him, while The Watchman did it to 'no longer be quirkless' and hates his father and All Might with a passion.
  • Fatal Flaw: While he very much resents everything about his original status the flaw that does him in is impulsiveness often fueled by said resentments. Not only is shown immediately murdering Thirteen when she confronts him, assuming that Thirteen was just trying to put him 'in his place after finally getting powers', but he is quick to use the forms that the good Izuku used against him in battle without understanding how they work first. The impulsiveness briefly gets him a cracked gem as Water Wings, but ends up being his undoing with Magmazinger when he takes the bait of using him without realizing his crippling weakness.
  • Hates Their Parent: He hates his parents for not making sure he wasn't born quirkless, comparing it to not screening for dwarfism or haemophilia. His father being 'a space cop' and gone for so long also incites his rage and hatred.
  • Hero Killer: He killed all the pro heroes who tried to stop him including Endeavor, Mirko, and Best Jeanist. All Might had already died but he'd have gladly done the same.
  • I Just Want to Be Special: Wanted more than anything to no longer be Quirkless. Went completly off the deep end when he got those powers.
  • The Mind Is A Play Thing Of The Body: A number of his forms affect his personality when uses them. The most stand out for him is his Irken form, who talks exactly like you'd expect an Irken to. Magmazinger's Weaksauce Weakness to insults is how the good Izuku manages to defeat him.
  • Multiform Balance: Like his good counterpart, The Watchman is well versed in changing forms to take advantage of individual strengths.
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He killed not just all the heroes, but also the villains of Earth and Vilgax.
  • Power Copying: During the fight with the heroic Omnitrix Ben he scans Gem Gem, Water Wings, Magmazinger, and Disk Jockey and uses the former three against his counterpart. Magmazinger's reckless use is what does him in.
  • Start of Darkness: We see the very start of his divergence into a Dark Multiverse nightmare, but we don't see what happens between murdering Thirteen and when the two Izuku begin their fight. We do see what causes this Izuku to turn from just an evil Omnitrix user into a true nightmare as a sentient Omnitrix however.
  • Take That!: A few befitting the nature of the Dark Multiverse.
    • He is an Izuku who took All Might's canonical first talk about a quirkless kid being a hero badly. However the heroic Izuku basically calls out his entire set of actions afterwards: pointing out that not only is being a hero very dangerous even for a pro, but that every moment he spent reacting to it with spite and vengeance only proved he wasn't worthy of being a hero in the first place. Essentially he is every fic where Izuku goes off to prove All Might wrong, like Apotheosis (MHA), as a full on villain and monster.
    • He's obsessive about the mistreatment he got for being Quirkless, but his sheer level of hate has gotten simply out of hand. He outright Hates Their Parent over it, outright declaring Inko evil for not making sure he wouldn't be born quirkless. Basically he's the amount of focus and rage that fans put on abuse for being quirkless taken to a horrifying extreme and hating everyone tangentially involved in it.
    • He believes, like many fans, that heroes are all corrupt and that the society they prop up is rotten. While it is indeed flawed it is clear that he is not only biased but ignoring basic common sense about the setting and is otherwise just trying to be angry at society in no way different from a villain. He also is as far from a better solution as you can get despite his delusions to the contrary.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He isn't without tactics but he is hinted to not be that far removed from possessing the Omnitrix when compared to the heroic Izuku: while he found his when he was 10 The Watchman got it when at the start of Chapter 1 after meeting All Might. He's also a bit more reckless with his forms, but in turn is familiar and uses more powerful aliens like Jetray and Gravatack that his other self isn't familiar with.
  • You Are What You Hate: He is very much like Bakugo, despite how much he hates his former bully.

    Azmuth 
Hailing from Earth -112619, Azmuth is the reclusive genius who created the Omnitrix and who summoned another Omnitrix-using Izuku to defeat The Watchman and take his Omnitrix away.
  • Adaptational Villainy: A bit of a mixed bag. His original attitude of not caring if the universe died due to the self-destruct of the Omnitrix means he is actively trying to speed up the decay of Earth -112619 to Mercy Kill it. However while his original attitude was pure cynacism and pessimism meaning he doesn't care again, he sees it as a mercy kill to prevent further suffering from the naturally decaying nature of the Dark Multiverse.
  • Cruel Twist Ending: Gets killed and his body hijacked by The Watchman, now merged with the Omnitrix itself.
  • Gondor Calls for Aid: Summons a different Izuku Midoriya to defeat his own corrupted counterpart.
  • Rooting for the Empire: In-Universe he finds himself, to his amazement, wishing Vilgax would take his Omnitrix, though this failed.
