* ¨HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:He feels ashamed of himself for not standing up to defend people in the past, which resurfaces in the U.S.J incident after he's unable to prevent Izuku from getting injured.]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: With the exception of Izuku, Class 1-A ends up holding him in far less regard after [[spoiler:his loss to Bakugou, mostly because they interpret his [[WillfullyWeak refusal to use his fire]] as sheer pettiness]].

'''Todoroki:''' ''[runs between them]'' H-Hey now, let's not do anything rash.\\

* AdaptationalJerkass: Subtle, but while in canon he was aloof and cold towards his classmates at the beginning, he never insulted them. Here, he talks back to a teacher (All Might) when called out on his attitude during the Hero vs Villain exercise, and during the trip by bus to the U.S.J he replies to the others' comments about his personality issues.

'''Izuku:''' ''[runs between them]'' H-Hey now, let's not do anything rash.\\

* WhatTheHellHero: All Might and most of 1-A call Todoroki out on his refusal to use his fire powers, calling it a slap in the face to everyone who's giving it their all and pointing out how it could get him killed in the real world. He's also criticized for his smug arrogance and his unwillingness to work with others, but he doesn't listen.

* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:The only reason Todoroki loses his fight with Bakugou in chapter eleven is that he refused to use his fire powers]].

* PettingZooPeople: He has the head of a bird, but the rest of him looks human. It's even weirder in this story because his powers don't come from a Quirk, so it's unknown why he looks like that.

* WhatTheHellHero: All Might and most of 1-A call Todoroki out on his refusal to use his fire powers, calling it a slap in the face to everyone who's giving it their all and pointing out how it could get him killed in the real world. He's also criticized for his smug arrogance and his unwillingness to wor kwith others.

* EveryoneHasStandards: For all his perverted antics, he's genuinely apologetic when he embarrasses Izuku about using his powers to peep on girls.

* HollywoodAcid: Just like in canon, but it's a mutative ability here, as opposed to a Quirk.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Her interactions with Hagakure paint her as such.

* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:The only reason Todoroki loses his fight with Bakugou in chapter eleven is because he refused to use his fire powers]].

* AllMenArePerverts: He's the most openly perverted student in class and got into the Hero business in hopes of looking cool and getting a hot girlfriend. His favorite Hero is Fire, who is known for her skimpy costume and stunning looks. In class, he leers at Katana's bare midriff.

The son of Endeavor, the Number Two Hero. He's cold and stoic, declaring that he'll defeat Izuku on the first day of school. Shouto possesses a powerful Quirk called "Half-Cold, Half-Hot" that is a combination of his mother's ice Quirk and his father's fire Quirk, but he only willingly uses his ice side.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In canon, Shouto is never shown to have a huge complex about his scar, but in this story, Bakugou calling him ComicBook/TwoFace is enough to send him into a TranquilFury and create a giant pillar of ice to vent. He's still holding onto this grudge by the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, rushing off to take out both Itsuka and Bakugou on his own without Izuku.

'''Bakugou:''' Who the fuck are you to try and make fun of me? At least I didn't need Daddy's fame and fortune to get in here! ''[Shouto turns around with a DeathGlare]''\\

* BondVillainStupidity: In the Heroes vs Villains exercise, Shouto manages to completely trap [[spoiler:Bakugou in a pillar of ice, but instead of eliminating him, he just spends his time talking down to Bakugou, which gives him a chance for a HeroicSecondWind that eventually led to Shouto losing the fight]].

* GenerationXerox: For all his hatred for his father, Shouto does a ''very'' good job of acting like him. He's a SmugSuper who views most people as beneath him and refuses to accept help from those he sees as rivals. He's cold, has a volatile temper when pressed and is constantly antagonizing Izuku despite the latter's attempts to make their rivalry a friendly one.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: Less obviously than Bakugou, but Shouto is smug, cold, and distant. He's insistent on doing everything his way and brushes aside attempts to compromise or make friends. He also uses his powers to vent, causing property damage in the process, with no signs or remorse or reflection. It's telling when Bakugou of all people compares him to Two-Face, a outright supervillain.
* HonorBeforeReason: His insistence on not using the fire part of his Quirk backfires on him when he refuses to use it while fighting [[spoiler:Bakugou, which ends with Bakugou tying the capture tape around Shouto's left eye out of spite and slamming his head against the wall.]]

-->'''Shouto:''' ''[to Izuku]'' I don't need to rely on other people to win, especially ''you.''

* MismatchedEyes: Shouto has heterochromia, giving him one blue eye (like his father) and one gray eye (like his mother).

* TheRival: As per his father's warning, Shouto declares that he'll defeat Izuku without so much as giving him a chance to counterattack.

* TheStoic: He's steely-faced and rarely emotive. The first time anyone is able to get anything other than a neutral expression out of him is when Bakugou cites Endeavor as the only reason why Shouto was able to get into U.A. in the first place.

* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:The only reason Shouto loses his fight with Bakugou in chapter eleven is because he refused to use his fire powers]].

-->'''Shouto:''' You're definitely a strong guy in both power and heart; I can see why my old man told me to look out for you. Even so, don't think for a second that where you are now is enough to take you to the top. I'm going to defeat you, and I don't plan on giving you a chance for a counterattack.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In canon, Shouto is never shown to have a huge complex about his scar, but in this story, Bakugou calling him ComicBook/TwoFace is enough to send him into a TranquilFury and create a giant pillar of ice to vent. [[spoiler:He's still holding onto this grudge by the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, rushing off to take out both Itsuka and Bakugou on his own without Izuku.]]

* HonorBeforeReason: His insistence on not using the fire part of his Quirk backfires on him when he refuses to use it while fighting [[spoiler:Bakugou, which ends with Bakugou tying the capture tape around Shouto's right eye out of spite and slamming his head against the wall.]]

* LeeroyJenkins: Surprisingly enough, [[spoiler:he immediately runs off to fight Itsuka and Bakugou on his own]] above Izuku's protests and warnings during the Heroes vs. Villains exercise.

* SmugSuper: He insists that he doesn't need anyone's help and constantly looks down on Bakugou. [[spoiler:During the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, he says that Itsuka is the only person he needs to worry about and rushes off to fight her and Bakugou on his own despite Izuku's protests.]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He's not pleased when [[spoiler:he's placed on the same team as Izuku for the Heroes vs. Villains exercises, alternating between glaring at Izuku and Bakugou. During the actual exercise, he ignores Izuku's insistence that they work together and his warnings about Bakugou's skill, running off to fight Itsuka and Bakugou on his own.]]
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He treats Bakugou like a joke and thinks little of him until Bakugou calls him "Two-Face" as an insult. [[spoiler:During the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, he's taken aback by how ferocious Bakugou is and is tempted to use his fire to defend himself before being defeated.]]

* LeeroyJenkins: Surprisingly enough [[spoiler:he immediately runs off to fight Itsuka and Bakugou on his own above Izuku's protests and warnings about how skilled Bakugou is.]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He's not pleased when [[spoiler:he's placed on the same team as Izuku for the Heroes vs. Villains exercises, alternating between glaring at Izuku and Bakugou.

[[caption-width-right:226:[[labelnote:Click here to see his hero costume]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eijirou_kirishima_full_body_hero_costume_2.png[[/labelnote]]]]

A HotBlooded and spiky-haired boy, Izuku helps him out during the U.A. Entrance Exam by freezing a two-point robot that was about to impale him with its stinger tail. His Quirk, "Hardening", allows him to harden his body, giving him extremely tough skin and sharpened fingernails that are perfect for close-range combat.

* BadLiar: It's clear that he has sees Ashido as more of a friend than he lets on, given how badly he blushes around her and she enjoys teasing him right back.
-->'''Kirishima:''' We're not 'chummy'! We just went to the same junior high, but we were never even in the same class. I mean, there was some stuff that happened last year—that's not important, though!\\
'''Ashido:''' We ''do'' take the same train to school, though.\\
'''Kirishima:''' We're going to the same place.\\
'''Ashido:''' You ''always'' let me sit next to you.\\
'''Kirishima:''' W-Well who'd care about that?
* BattleCry: Goes "ORA!" while punching a robot in his brief cameo.
* ChildhoodFriend: He knows Ashido from middle school and the two are close enough for her to cover for him when asked an uncomfortable question.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's briefly alluded to halfway through the entrance exam when he punches the head off a robot that Izuku helped him pin down. He also ends the exam with the 3rd highest score, with 45 Villain Points and 53 Rescue Points for a total of 98 points.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: His hair was black and shaggy when Izuku saw him at the entrance exam, but it has since been dyed red and styled into spikes as part of his wish to shed his past.
* FieryRedhead: His black hair has been dyed red and he's quite HotBlooded.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: On the second day of school, [[spoiler:he starts asking how Bakugou got his "totally badass" scars.]]
* MightyGlacier: His Quirk gives him SuperToughness, allowing him to put enough force behind his blows to knock the heads off of U.A.'s robots. But his powers don't improve his mobility in any meaningful way, unlike Izuku.
* NiceGuy: He cheerfully thanks Izuku for helping him out and ends up earning more Rescue Points than anyone besides Izuku and Itsuka.
* ShipTease: Gets a lot of this with Ashido.
* ShonenHair: His hairstyle manages to outspike Bakugou's, albeit it's styled that way rather than natural.
* SuperToughness: His ability allows him to harden his body into a sharpened, rigid state, which makes him resilient to injury and allows him to put a great deal of force behind his blows.

[[folder:Fumikage Tokoyami]]
!!Fumikage Tokoyami
[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tokoyami_7.png]]

A serious and dramatic boy with the head of a bird. He entered U.A. as a magic user bound to a fifth-dimensional genie, Tskymi, whom Tokoyami attempts to name "Dark Shadow".

* AdaptationalBadass: Tokoyami's in possession of a full-blown RealityWarper in this story. This would (theoretically) make him the single most powerful student in 1-A.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Instead of being a Quirk, Tokoyami's Dark Shadow (real name Tskymi) is a Genie, a RealityWarper from the Fifth Dimension.
* {{Adorkable}}: His overly dramatic explanations for mundane things can make him come off as a dork, especially while Dark Shadow is busy making fun of him.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: He's a ColdHam and tends to speak in archaic, dramatic PurpleProse when a yes or no would suffice. He ''is'' a subversion in that he has powers (and an extremely powerful one at that), but Tskymi isn't always obedient.
-->'''Izuku:''' How did you two even end up together?\\
'''Tokoyami:''' Well, it all goes back to the island nation of… no, I cannot speak of this. The ordeals I went through to obtain this power are too wretched to warrant repeating.\\
'''Izuku:''' Oh, okay, then-\\
'''Tokoyami:''' Relaying these details would not at all send your heart aflutter; all they would do is weigh it down with their depressive form.\\
'''Izuku:''' Alright, sounds like it's a lot-\\
'''Tokoyami:''' If I were to even attempt to treat you to such a tremendously terrifying tale, your souls would shatter to pieces! Like Marie Antoinette, the fear it would strike in you would make your hair turn a pale white, in an instant!\\
'''Izuku:''' Do you want to tell us about it, or not?\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Tokoyami:''' No.
* ColdHam: His prose may be over the top, but his tone tends to be low and calm.
* CurbStompBattle: His "fight" with Hagakure and Jirou amounts to having Dark Shadow turn into a sword, jam himself through the building, and touching the bomb nigh-instantly.
* DarknessVonGothickName: His surname, Tokoyami, literally means "Eternal Darkness".
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Unlike in canon, Tokoyami and Dark Shadow are now completely separate characters.
* EarlyBirdCameo: No {{Pun}} intended. But he's first seen on line to take the U.A. Entrance Exam. He also had the 8th highest score with 47 Villain Points and 35 Rescue Points for a total of 82 points.
* FairyTaleMotif: His costume invokes Literature/{{Aladdin}}, particularly the [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Disney version]] with its open white vest, oil lamp-shaped belt buckle, and baggy pants. He also wears a ring on his middle finger, referencing the magic ring in the original story.
* GenieInABottle: Tokoyami has Tskmyi, a genie like the one used by [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica Johnny Thunder]]. Tskymi is temperamental and a jokester, but mostly loyal to Tokoyami and claims to possess [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} "phenomenal cosmic powers".]]
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Tskymi can do practically anything as a fifth-dimensional genie, but he needs to get an order first, which is in turn limited by Tokoyami's imagination and careful wording.
* MeaningfulName: His full name roughly translates to "Unsavory Shadow Eternal Darkness", reflecting his darkness-natured theme and over the top Chuuni-ness. Tskymi's name is also a truncated version of "Tsukuyomi", the Japanese god of the moon, further enhancing this darkness motif.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Inverted. In the original My Hero Academia, he's dressed almost entirely in black and wears a dark cloak as his costume. Here, his costume consists of an open white vest and baggy purple pants.
* NoodleIncident: The lengths Tokoyami went through to get Dark Shadow are apparently so trying that he refuses to speak of them again.
* PettingZooPeople: He has the head of a bird, but the rest of him looks human. It's even weirder in this story because his powers don't come from a Quirk, so it's unknown why he looks like that.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: At [=5'2''=], he's one of the shortest guys in 1-A, but he has the single most powerful ability in class if used properly.
* PowersDoTheFighting: Tokoyami's powers are completely tied to Dark Shadow, who can do practically anything for Tokoyami with a simple order.
* StoryBreakerPower: Dark Shadow is by and far away the most powerful force in 1-A and has to be limited by Tokoyami's own imagination and wording for there to be any semblance of conflict.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Tokoyami is a straight-laced Straight Man and a Large Ham, while Dark Shadow is far more joking and open with his emotions, constantly making fun of his master and messing with him for kicks.
* SuperpowerLottery: He has a RealityWarper on the same level as Bat-Mite at his beck and call. The only thing stopping him from wrecking the story is how carefully he words his wishes and the fact that he isn't TheOmniscient.
* ToothyBird: Although he has a bird's head, he still has a full set of teeth.

[[folder:Mina Ashido]]
!!Mina Ashido
[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mina_ashido_full_body_school_uniform_4.png]]

An energetic girl with both a genetic mutation and a Quirk. She hops between both lines before being tugged into the Quirk line by Kirishima. Her Quirk, "Combo Breaker", allows her to greatly increase the force of her kicks with every consecutive kick she lands in quick succession, but overuse can potentially break her legs. Her genetic mutation allows her to emit corrosive liquids from her body at will. She can manipulate the viscosity and potency of her acid. This also has the side effect of turning her skin pink and her sclera black.

* AdaptationalBadass: She has a genetic mutation in addition to her Quirk.
* AdaptationExpansion: Kirishima and Ashido's shared history seems to be getting referenced earlier than in canon.
* AdaptationalModesty: Inverted. See the ZettaiRyouiki example below.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Her Quirk is her DoubleJump-like ability while her acid is her genetic mutation.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: A side effect of her mutation is that it turns her skin pink.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Shooting acid isn't the most heroic power around, but she's still in the Hero Course.
* BootsOfToughness: Has silver ones with purple flames as a part of her costume.
* ChildhoodFriend: She knows Kirishima from middle school, helping him deflect questions about his sudden change in hairstyle.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Her Quirk, "Combo Breaker", grants increasing amounts of SuperStrength with [[GatheringSteam every consecutive kick she lands.]] Her mutation grants her canon ability to produce acid and manipulate its pH and viscosity.
* CuteMonsterGirl: She's a fun-loving, attractive humanoid whose mother was mutated by an unusual burst of space energy.
* DoubleJump: Mina's Quirk lets her kick off the air to extend her jumping distance.
* DynamicEntry: She and Momo make their way to the top of the building where the bomb is located by kicking clay pigeons through each individual floor, punching massive holes until she reaches the top.
-->'''Ashido:''' Special delivery!
* EarlyBirdCameo: She is first seen bouncing between both the Quirk and mutation lines before being yanked back into the Quirk line. She also appears on the top ten rankings posted at the end of the U.A. Entrance Exam, reaching 9th with 42 Villain Points and 38 Rescue Points for a total of 80 points.
* ExtremityExtremist: Thanks to her Quirk, Ashido mainly fights with her legs in this story.
* FreakLabAccident: She was mutated into her current form when a vial of chemicals fell on her after her field trip became the battlefield for Firestorm and the villain Naiad. She's taken it in stride and doesn't mind her new appearance in the slightest.
* GatheringSteam: Her Quirk "Combo Breaker", makes her kicks become more powerful each time she lands a hit with them.
* GenkiGirl: She's always bright and full of energy.
* GoombaStomp: Her Quirk allows her to float in the air for a short period, using it to jump great distances before coming down with a resounding crash that leaves a crater.
* HollywoodAcid: Just like in canon, but it's a mutative ability here, as opposed to a Quirk.
* GyaruGirl: She was this prior to her mutation, having deeply tan skin, no horns, and normal eyes.
* HollywoodAcid: Her genetic mutation gives her this ability and allows her to manipulate its pH and viscosity.
* HornedHumanoid: She has two yellow, antennae like horns growing from her head.
* IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery: Her mask in this story is one of these, though it gives her green eyes instead of the traditional white.
* KickChick: Her Quirk, "Combo Breaker", lets her greatly increase the force of her kicks with each consecutive hit she lands in rapid succession. Overuse will break her legs, but there aren't many things that can withstand that level of power.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname sounds like the Japanese pronunciation of "Acid", reflecting the power her mutation gives her.
** The "Ashi" in "Ashido" can also be translated to "Feet", which references how "Combo Breaker" makes her an ExtremityExtremist.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: She's resistant to the effects of the acid she produces, but it still turns her skin pink.
* ShesGotLegs: As per Horikoshi's own narration, she has "healthy" thighs.
* ShipTease: Gets a lot of this with Kirishima.
* SuperStrength: Can achieve this after just a few kicks with her Quirk.
* TechnicolorEyes: The sclera of her eyes are black because of her mutation.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is naturally pink.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her costume is mostly the same as it was in canon, but now her body suit only goes down to the halfway point of her thighs and leaves a gap of skin before her BootsOfToughness at her knees.

[[folder:Tsuyu Asui]]
!!Tsuyu Asui
[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asui.png]]

A frog-like girl who takes the U.A. Entrance Exam. Her Metahuman ability gives her the ability to "do whatever a frog can", giving her powerful hind legs, a prehensile tongue, and other froggy traits.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Her abilities are ascribed to a Metahuman ability rather than a Quirk in this story. On a larger scale, her entire family apparently has Quirks that give them scorpion-like bodies.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Her powers are based on that of a frogs, hence the phrase "does whatever a frog can" in her home series.
* BrutalHonesty: Tsuyu speaks her mind freely, pointing out the obvious ineptitude of her classmates without a hint of sugarcoating to soften the blow.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tsuyu tends to make sly cracks at people and bluntly speaks her mind in her usual semi-casual tone.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She's briefly seen trying to take down a two-point robot with her tongue to no avail, prompting Tenya to help her after being inspired by Izuku. She ends up having the 7th highest score on the practical portion of the exam, with 47 Villain Points and 40 Rescue Points for a total of 87 points.
* FirstNameBasis: Insists people call her by her first name, Tsuyu, and add "chan" to it. Humorously enough, after it's first brought up, the narration, which had been using her last name, immediately switches to using her first name.
* LittleBitBeastly: She has frog-like flippers on her feet, a prehensile tongue, and a frog-like face that can make it difficult to tell what she's feeling. This is in stark contrast to the rest of her family, who have a Quirk that gives them scorpion-like bodies.
* MultipurposeTongue: Her tongue is useful as both a weapon and for grabbing people and objects that are out of reach for rescue purposes.
* OverlyLongTongue: Her tongue can extend considerable distances and wrap around other things, just like a real frog.
* PoisonousPerson: Tsuyu is able to secrete poisonous mucus from her body that stings when touched. She uses this to free herself from Mineta's sticky balls.
* ShoutOut: The AdaptationalSuperpowerChange Tsuyu and her family went through is a direct reference to the fable [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog The Scorpion and the Frog]].
* TheStoic: Her frog-like face makes it difficult to tell what she's thinking or feeling.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Averted. The other Metahumans in her class are shocked to find that her powers activated spontaneously without any sort of emotional or physical trigger.

The son of Endeavor, the Number Two Hero. He's cold and stoic, declaring that he'll defeat Izuku on the first day of school. Shouto possesses a powerful Quirk called "Half-Cold, Half-Hot" that is a combination of his mother's ice Quirk and his father's fire Quirk, but he only willingly uses his ice side.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In canon, Shouto is never shown to have a huge complex about his scar, but in this story, Bakugou calling him ComicBook/TwoFace is enough to send him into a TranquilFury and create a giant pillar of ice to vent. [[spoiler:He's still holding onto this grudge by the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, rushing off to take out both Itsuka and Bakugou on his own without Izuku.]]
* AnIcePerson: His primary application of his Quirk. He can easily freeze vast tracts of land and generate giant pillars of ice. His favorite hero is also [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_(comics) Ice]].
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His ice abilities come out of his right side and his fire abilities on his left, which is represented by his white and red hair colors respectively.
* BerserkButton: He was content to ignore Bakugou until the latter brought up Endeavor.
-->'''Shouto:''' I have nothing to say to you because I don't care about you. If you want me to, stop attaching yourself to Midoriya like some kind of leech.\\
'''Bakugou:''' Who the fuck are you to try and make fun of me? At least I didn't need Daddy's fame and fortune to get in here! ''[Shouto turns around with a DeathGlare]''\\
'''Izuku:''' ''[runs between them]'' H-Hey now, let's not do anything rash.\\
'''Shouto:''' You should be thankful I ''didn't'' take the normal exam. If I did, I might have done well enough to stop someone in our class from getting in. Care to remind me about how low your score was?
* FamedInStory: He's instantly recognizable to reporters due to being the son of the Number Two Hero. It doesn't take long for Izuku to recognize him either.
* FireIceDuo: The nature of his Quirk, but he only uses the ice side.
* GenerationXerox: For all his hatred for his father, Shouto does a ''very'' good job of acting like him. He's a SmugSuper who views most people as beneath him and refuses to accept help from those he sees as rivals.

He also uses his powers to vent, causing property damage in the process, with no signs or remorse or reflection. It's telling when Bakugou of all people compares him to Two-Face, a outright supervillain.
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: Bred and trained specifically to surpass All Might.
* IcyBlueEyes: His left eye is icy blue like his father, but ironically this is where his fire powers come out of.
* IWorkAlone: He insists that he doesn't need anyone's help.
-->'''Shouto:''' ''[to Izuku]'' I don't need to rely on other people to win, especially ''you.''
* LeeroyJenkins: Surprisingly enough [[spoiler:he immediately runs off to fight Itsuka and Bakugou on his own above Izuku's protests and warnings about how skilled Bakugou is.]]

A diminutive lad with a head full of sticky purple balls. He has a fiendish appreciation for the female figure, but he still as a good heart underneath his flaky exterior. His Quirk, "Pop Off", allows him to pull off the sticky purple balls on his head which are each coated in a powerful adhesive. Pulling too many of them off at once will cause him to bleed from his scalp.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Aside from his canonical perverted tendencies, he practically worships Izuku as a role model. Izuku likes that he's helping someone but would rather not get the slobbery hugs of snot and tears.
* AdaptationalHeroism: His pervertedness is somewhat more reserved due to his admiration for Izuku and he's able to focus on task more of the time.
* AlliterativeName: '''Mi'''noru '''Mi'''neta.
* AllMenArePerverts: He's the most openly perverted student in class and got into the Hero business in hopes of looking cool and getting a hot girlfriend. His favorite Hero is Fire, who is known for her skimpy costume and stunning looks. In class, he leers at Katana's bare midriff.
** He's also delighted to know that Izuku convinced Momo to modify her Hero costume so it would expose her back.
* BondVillainStupidity: Even though he has Tsuyu at his mercy, he forgets to wind the capture tape around her. As a result, she's able to free herself and rejoin the fight, turning the tables on him and Tenya.
* BoringButPractical: His Quirk isn't especially flashy or impressive, but its powerful adhesive properties make it extremely useful for restricting enemy movement, particularly in closed corridors where there isn't much space to move around.
* BrilliantButLazy: He has a good eye for strategy and is quite intelligent, but usually he's too busy appreciating the female figure to capitalize on it.
* HeroicRROD: His scalp bleeds if he pulls too many balls off his head in rapid succession.
* HeroWorshipper: He immediately starts looking up to Izuku for sticking up for him at the Quirk Apprehension Test and trying to give him good advice.
-->'''Mineta:''' First you're on the verge of standing up for me, then you're giving me advice… Midoriya, do you ever stop being cool?!\\
'''Izuku:''' I haven't even gotten started. [[DorkKnight Wait, that-that came out wrong.]]
* InelegantBlubbering: He's sobbing when he believes that he's going to get expelled on the first day of class. He pours out even more snot and tears when he finds out that he ''isn't'' getting expelled.
* StickySituation: His Quirk lets him produce sticky balls from his head that can last for an entire day when he's feeling good.
* TeensAreShort: He's 108 cm (or 3.5 feet) tall despite being fifteen years old.
* TooMuchInformation: He's shocked when Tsuyu managed to free herself from his Quirk, saying that he took a really good dump that morning so she should have been trapped for hours. Momo and Itsuka express appropriate disgust.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Tsuyu underestimates him and gets stuck to the wall for her troubles when she makes a mistake.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is purple, going with his grape theme.

[[folder:Kyouka Jirou]]
!!Kyouka Jirou
[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyoka_jiro_full_body_uniform_3.png]]

An aloof girl with oddly shaped earlobes and a love for music. Her Quirk, "Earphone Jack", gives her earphone jacks for earlobes that she can manipulate at will. She can use them for attack and listen in through walls and across significant distances with them. She can also project the sound of her heartbeat through them, which can stun others if her jack is inserted directly into someone's ear.

* TheGadfly: She laughs when she hears that Kaminari nearly shocked himself to death when his Metahuman power first manifested. He protests at first, but then admits that it ''was'' kind of funny.
-->'''Kaminari:''' Hey, I could have died!\\
'''Jirou:''' Yeah, but you didn't, and that's why it's funny.\\
'''Kaminari:''' [[ActuallyPrettyFunny I… Yeah, you got me there.]]
* {{Goth}}: Of the rock fan variety.
* PiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Her costume is said to be pirate-themed with punk elements, but the specifics of it haven't been given.
* RedIsHeroic: Her costume consists of a red coat and pirate's hat.
* {{Tomboy}}: She has a boyish figure and speaks more rudely and bluntly than most of the other girls.

A plain-looking Metahuman who happens to take karate. His ability gives him a large, powerful prehensile tail.
----
* BoringButPractical: Between Izuku's Kryptonian ComboPlatterPowers, Bakugou's HavingABlast, and other powers like them, Ojiro's tail is comparatively boring. It's still useful and a strong complement to his existing martial arts skills.
* MartialArtsUniform: Wears a gi as his costume. Bakugou scoffs at how little thought was put into it.
* NonUniformUniform: All of his clothes, including his school uniform, have to be tailored to accommodate his tail.
* PrehensileTail: His Metahuman power gives him a thick, strong tail useful for attack, defense, and movement. [[HumanFurnitureIsAPainInTheTail But it makes it a pain to sit down in a chair because they weren't designed with his tail in mind]].
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: His design is rather plain compared to the rest of the class and his power is relatively boring compared to some of the other powers in class. Even his performance during the Heroes vs. Villains exercise is described as plainly average. He isn't sure whether to take it as a compliment or an insult.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Inverted. The emotional trigger for his Metahuman power was his joy over winning his first karate tournament. He complains that the pain of suddenly growing a new appendage from the base of his spine should have been enough to give him another power.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: He feels this way about his tail, as it's less flashy and exciting than the other Metahuman powers in his class and far less powerful than a "Quirk" like Izuku's.

[[folder:Tooru Hagakure]]
!!Tooru Hagakure
[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toru_hagakure_full_body_uniform_0.png]]

A cheerful and bubbly girl who Izuku helps out near the start of the U.A. Entrance Exam. Her Metahuman ability permanently renders her entire body invisible by refracting light, but doesn't affect her clothes.

* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, Hagakure didn't exhibit her [[LightEmUp light refraction]] abilities until the Provisional License arc, but in this story, she can use them from the very start.
* AdaptationalModesty: Her costume can accommodate her ability in this story, spreading it across her body so she can turn completely invisible without having to strip naked.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Her abilities are attributed to the Metagene rather than to a Quirk in this story.
* BattleStrip: She has to strip down in order to make full use of her invisibility when she isn't using her costume.
* FullFrontalAssault: Her invisibility doesn't affect her clothes, so she has to run out in the nude to make full use of her invisibility. She even takes the U.A. Entrance Exam with nothing but a pair of gloves on. Her costume gets around this by being able to turn invisible when affected by her powers.
* GenderBlenderName: "Tooru" is usually a boy's name, but Horikoshi made her a girl because he thought it'd be funnier.
* HeroicLineage: Her mom was mutated by exposure to an unusual burst of space energy. She later reveals that her mom is Kimiyo Hoshi, the second Dr. Light.
* InvisibleStreaker: She has to be completely naked to best make use of her Quirk. Lampshaded when she mentions that she was naked during the entrance exam, prompting a response from [[AllMenArePerverts Kaminari]] until he realizes that it was pointless.
* LightEmUp: Hagakure's Metahuman ability lets her refract light in an area the size of her hands put together.
* MeaningfulName: "Tooru" can be read as "transparent".
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Her costume is explicitly designed to amplify her light refraction ability so that she can spread it across her entire body. That way she can still be fully clothed while using her power.
* PowerIncontinence: She can't turn her invisibility off, making her appear as nothing more than a set of floating clothes at all times.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Even though she isn't buck naked thanks to her costume, she knows that people can come to the conclusion that she's naked and teases Jirou about it.
* TheTease: Tooru doesn't hesitate to capitalize on Jirou's confusion for a laugh when it looks like her clothes vanished.

A tall guy with a big smile and an optimistic attitude. His Quirk, "Tape", allows him to dispense an ultra-strong tape-like material that's coated with a strong adhesive from a protrusion on his arms. This makes him great at binding his opponents, holding objects together, or [[BuildingSwing swinging through his environment]], but overdoing it gives him dry skin.

* HeroWorshipper: His favorite Hero is the third Blue Beetle, Ted Kord.
* PunnyName: When read in Eastern order, his name reads "Sero Hanta", which is extremely close to the Japanese pronunciation of "cellophane"[[note]]Sero-han-ta-pu[[/note]] as in "cellophane tape".
* StickySituation: He's able to emit reams of an ultra-strong tape like material from protrusions on his arms.

A flamboyant boy who seems to enjoy French culture. His Quirk, "Navel Laser", allows him to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin shoot a powerful laser from his navel]]. But using it for more than a second can cause stomach cramps or even make it cave in on itself.

* AwesomeButImpractical: His flashy and powerful Quirk can leak out if he ever stops wearing his special support belt. He also has to moderate his usage of his Quirk, lest he crumple his own stomach from the strain.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's one of the people watching Izuku fight the zero-pointer during the U.A. Entrance Exam.
* GratuitousFrench: He remarks, "Très bien!"[[note]]Excellent/Amazing![[/note]] while watching Izuku battle the robots.
* HeroicRROD: Overusing his stomach can cause his stomach to cramp up or even crumple in on itself.
* HeroWorshipper: His favorite Hero(es) are the three Crimson Foxes for being fabulous.
* LightEmUp: He can fire sparkling lasers from his navel.

A quiet but well-built boy with a rock-like appearance and a love for nature. His Quirk, "Anivoice" allows him to communicate with and control animals, but he's rather quiet otherwise.

* AlliterativeName: '''K'''oji '''K'''ouda.
* HeroWorshipper: His favorite Hero is the Vigilante Batman IV (aka [[Characters/{{Robin}} Damian Wayne]]), who is known for his love of animals.
* TheQuietOne: He doesn't talk much and he's usually whispering when he does.
* RockMonster: Has the appearance of one, but he doesn't act like it nor does his Quirk have anything to do with it.

An intimidating boy with a heart of gold. His Quirk, "Dupli-Arms", gives him several arm-shaped tentacles that can be used to reproduce any part of his body at their tips, such as his eyes or his ears.

* CoolMask: He always covers up the bottom half of his face because it's apparently freaky and even villainous looking.
* CreepyGood: His Quirk gives him an intimidating and almost freaky appearance, but he's kind-hearted and trying to become a Hero.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's being cornered by two robots right after Izuku helps Hagakure, prompting Izuku to run in and help him. Shouji thanks Izuku for it when they meet again in class.
* HeroicBuild: His arms are quite muscular and he got the highest score in the grip strength test after Izuku.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: He's the strongest kid in class without his power sans Izuku and one of the most muscular.

* ComboPlatterPowers:
** GatheringSteam: Her Quirk "Combo Breaker", makes her kicks become more powerful each time she lands a hit with them.
** HollywoodAcid: Just like in canon, but it's a mutative ability here, as opposed to a Quirk.
** SuperStrength: Can achieve this after just a few kicks with her Quirk.

* HeroWorshipper: His favorite Hero is ComicBook/Static. His costume's logo even resembles Static's.

* DeadpanSnarker: Tsuyu tends to make sly cracks at people and speak her mind in her usual semi-casual tone.

* PoisonousPerson: Tsuyu is able to secret poisonous mucus from her body that stings when touched. She uses this to free herself from Mineta's sticky balls.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He's not pleased when [[spoiler:he's placed on the same team as Izuku for the Heroes vs. Villains exercises, alternating between glaring at Izuku and Bakugou. During the actual exercise, he ignores Izuku's insistence that they work together and runs off to fight Itsuka and Bakugou on his own.]]

* HeroicRROD: His scalp bleeds if he pulls too many balls off his head in rapid succession

* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: His design is rather plain compared to the rest of the class. Even his performance during the Heroes vs. Villains exercise is described as plainly average. He isn't sure whether to take it as a compliment or an insult.
