Shoto ends up completely disregarding his father out of spite, and acknowledging that he was right after seeing Peter dominate the Obstacle Race portion of the Sports Festival is an insanely bitter pill for him to swallow.

* SuperpowerLottery: While Peter had already won it back in the MCU, the insane usefulness of his powerset is much more apparent when compared to his classmates, which is even lampshaded by Kirishima. In a world where a person is lucky to have a Quirk with multiple applications [[RequiredSecondaryPowers without any serious drawbacks to compensate]], Peter has SuperStrength, {{dexterity}}, and stamina, {{Wall Crawl}}ing, and perhaps most useful of all, his SpiderSense.

* BombDisposal: One of 1-B's final exam's emergency simulations. Unable to disarm or disassemble the bomb, Pony passes the test [[TakeAThirdOption by using her horns to levitate and carry the bomb to detonate it at a safe distance.]]



** Because of all the life-or-death situations they'd been involved, 1-A's final exam is changed from Battles 2-on-1 Against A Teacher to Hero Teams Attending Emergencies, with several students teaming up to face a particular emergency (HostageSituation, Capturing Villains, [[HostileWeather Natural Disaster]]) in order to test both Teamwork and Individual Performance instead of just Battle Abilities. It's later revealed that 1-B's finals were similar, with the emergency simulations being Bomb Retrieval and Disarming, Infiltration of a Villain Lair, and Crime Scene Investigation.

** Due to the USJ Nomu being killed by students, Dabi and Toga aren't too impressed with Shigaraki, and they get an instant, mutual dislike of him. Combined with Stain being forced to escape and later captured instead of his canon last stand in Hosu (depriving Toga and Dabi from an important motivation), they don't join The League of Villains.

I took these examples to the reality ensues cleanup thread, and reportedly, none of these examples match the criteria for the trope.


* RealityEnsues: Peter's costume is one of the most advanced items on the planet, made of nanomachines, powered by an Arc Reactor (meaning effectively limitless power), and a built-in AI. Peter is ''smart'', and he was attending a STEM school for geniuses... However, there's "Smart", and then there's what's necessary to fix it if something goes wrong, or to get Karen out of there. [[spoiler:This becomes evident when the armor gets destroyed in the USJ attack, with no way to repair it to full functionality.]]
** Peter jumps in to help stop a villain... and lands in a heap of trouble since he technically entered the country illegally, doesn't speak a single word of Japanese, his contacts don't exist, and he had violated anti-vigilantism laws.
** Peter's armor was made by Tony for when Peter became an Avenger, and thus was prepped on the basis that Peter would be fighting world-ending threats like Thanos or Ultron. It's based on the same technology that makes up Tony's Bleeding-Edge armor. Peter bringing it to the entrance exam is a curb stomp.
** Peter is strong and experienced. That same experience also means that he's a BrokenAce who is horribly traumatized by his past experiences fighting Thanos, and because of his origins, can't talk to anyone about it.
** Mental trauma is a real problem. Even if Peter is strong, agile, and has had lots of time since the events of ''Infinity War'', by the time of the USJ attack, he's ''exhausted'' from near-constant nightmares about his experiences keeping him up at night. It's one of the reasons his healing takes so long in its wake.
*** Both Kirishima and Momo have mental breakdowns in the wake of the USJ to All Might. Kirishima because he saw one of his classmates nearly murdered in front of him while he was helpless, and Momo because of that same helplessness and [[spoiler:that she had killed the Noumu in order to rescue Peter]].
*** Speaking of killing, adhering to a ThouShallNotKill policy is pretty impossible when the villain refuses to yield or when innocent lives are on the line. According to Aizawa, almost every hero who's been around long enough has killed a villain at some point or another. Even All Might, one of the rare few who hasn't, freely admits that he's been ''incredibly'' lucky in that regard.
** Aizawa is ''not'' happy seeing Izuku and Todoroki use the full force of their Quirks against each other during the Sports Festival tournament. He plans to thoroughly chew them out the next time he sees them for throwing around power that could have killed one or both of them in a fight between classmates.
** In canon, Gran Torino insisted on being the one to take on Izuku in the Internship arc, and Izuku went with him because he didn't get any internship offers. In this universe, All Might bemoans that he can't blame Izuku for not taking Gran Torino's offer, since he ''did'' get offers- and Izuku selected one from one of the top ten heroes of Japan rather than a little-known one whose biggest (public) claim to fame was teaching school for one year long ago.
** Mirko's rabbit quirk gives her super-hearing. The LogicalWeakness is SensoryOverload, and she had to train herself to sort out background noise for it to be useful. Not only that, but she regularly eats at the same beef-bowl restaurant because she would find restaurants that cut their food distracting, and even surmises that she will suffer from hearing loss in a few years due to the strain.
** While he's a dangerous opponent, most of Stain's success as a killer comes from using stealthy tactics and targeting relatively low-powered heroes. When he gets into an open battle with one of the Top Ten heroes, Yoroi Musha, while the battle is apparently even, he's the one who ends badly injured and forced to escape, while Musha is mostly fine except for minor exhaustion.
** Many people react badly when injured or scared, being a danger to potential rescuers, other victims, and themselves. As Mt Lady proves during the [[HostileWeather Natural Disaster]] exam, this is particularly bad for people with destructive quirks, and the rescuers most take special precautions for everyone's sake.

''Friendly Foreign Exchange Student Spider-Man!'' is a crossover story written by Zara and co-written by [=LD1449=] and [=IKnowNothing=]. Taking place just after Peter Parker, ComicBook/SpiderMan, turned to dust at the end of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. Here, instead of simply ceasing to exist, he awakens on a rooftop in the world of ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' (MHA for short) at the very beginning of that story. Peter proceeds to work towards becoming a hero in a world similar to but very different from his own, where many of the things that once held him back simply do not exist anymore. His current goal is to graduate from U.A. and honor his promise to Tony Stark to become the greatest hero he can be, even if it isn't in his home world.
