History Fanfic / VillainNotebookForTheFuture

*** Speaking of which, the whole family drama that Enji triggered snowballed into having [spoiler:'''two''' of his children becoming criminals]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome :
** Even for an aspiring inventor like Izuku, he will have problems with inventing new gadgets, mainly having limited resources to work on with very little budget.
** Aizawa notes during the police meeting that, regardless of whether or not Mastermind’s victims deserved it or not, it did cost a lot of good people out of a job.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Minoru gets this twice in succession when, during the Hosu incident, he learns that he’s the OnlySaneMan to ''Tenya'' of all people, the latter wanting to go after the guys that were responsible for his brother’s predicament [[spoiler: (Stain for injuring him, Mastermind and the League of Supervillains for kidnapping him)]].

* this quote from Mastermind, after Eraserhead was fighting Inkblot:

* Mineta’s move "grapezone grenade", was likely inspired by Piccolo's attack "Hellzone Grenade" from [[Anime/DragonBallZ dragon ball z]].

** [[spoiler:All for One, TheDreaded within the criminal underworld]], initially finds Mastermind hilarious once he first hears of him.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Izuku [[spoiler:, actually [[ClonesArePeopleToo Shinji]],]] gives one to [[spoiler: Stain during their fight in Hosu, questioning, since he wanted to bring a society of real heroes, when was the last time he saved someone. This question actually sticks with him from then on.]]
--> '''Mastermind [[spoiler: /[[OurClonesAreIdentical Shinji]]]]''': ''To me, a Hero is somebody who helps others even when they’re not asked to! But you’re just a butcher! When was the last time you helped anybody in need?!''

** Izuku’s freeze ray is inspired from many ice villain’s designs, including mr.Freeze’s from [Film/BatmanAndRobin].

* SpringtimeForHitler: Izuku planned to not win the sport’s festival, only advance enough to gain legitimate recognition for his inventions. He breezed past the first round (which was the earlier he had planned to win) but couldn't afford to fail the second round thanks to Kachan picking him to join his group and, thanks to the malfunctions on the gears he made for each battle, accidentally won against both Shoto Todoroki and Mellisa Shield [[spoiler:, the latter having already gained One for All] in the single combat round.

-->'''Tenya''': (in his thoughts) ''What inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask?''

* DeliberateUnderPerformance: Izuku attempts this during the sports festival; [[spoiler: emphasis on ‘‘Attempts’’]].

** The [[spoiler: league of ‘‘[[InsistantTerminology SUPER]]’’villains]] don’t condone murder or otherwise unnecessary violence. They turned away any prominent recruits that are inclined to actually kill anyone. They don’t even tolerate notorious serial killers either, much like Stain [[spoiler: or even Muscular]].

** At [[spoiler: Ingenium’s (Tensei, not Tenya) Hostage plot]], Izuku ask for ransom, aside from the usual amount of money expected in this scenario,[[spoiler: the ‘‘Hostage’s own signature’’[[note]] As it turns out, there’s a practical reason for such a demand, as the [[FridgeBrilliance situation surrounding the signature would make it a collector’s item]].[[/note]].]]

*** His attempt to save a civilian caught in his own team’s debut gave shinsou the opportunity to control him briefly; And even when that failed, this event gave way to Shinso becoming Aizawa’s apprentice.

*** him getting too caught up in posing menacingly before his fight during the sport festival, after Mineta ‘‘‘accidentally’’’ groped Mei Hatsume in their fight, gave enough evidence to Shoto to correctly deduce that he’s Mastermind.
*** had he not intervened with [[spoiler: Muscular’s [[CurbStompBattle fight]] this early, Koda would’ve gotten back his respect for heroes, nor would he go onto the path of supervillainy.]]

*** Speaking of which, the whole family drama that Enji triggered snowballed into having [spoiler:‘‘‘two’’’ of his children becoming criminals]].

** Some time later, Izuku gets this when he encounters ‘‘[[TheDreaded Eraserhead]]’’ after his cake heist, knowing he’s way out of his head going up against him.

** Hawks gets a little serious when he’s notified of Mastermind’s existence by his superiors; notably once he learns from them that [[spoiler: Jin is in leagues with them.]]

-->‘‘‘Mastermind’’’ : “[[BadassBoast It’s a bad day for heroes when a supervillain has to do their job!]]”

** For the team’s first heist, they had planned something crazy: they [[spoiler:‘‘FAKED’’ Mr Compress’ Quirk, hiding his compress quirk with a smoke machine and passing it off as a smoke warping quirk and renaming him Mr Warp.]]

*** and from there, Insisting that he’s a ‘‘‘[[InsistentTerminology Super]]’’’villain, namely because of his [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]], that being what he’s willing/not willing to do, or approve of other’s actions.

--> ‘‘‘Mastermind’’’ : ‘‘[[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 I was not expecting that! But then again, I expected not to expect something today so it doesn’t count!]]’’

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Played With, with everyone assuming that [[spoiler: the League of Villains are piggybacking on the League of Super Villain’s success. It doesn’t help that both even have warpers with smoke-based teleportation.]]

** Spinner still joins the LoV, despite going under a different name [[spoiler: and having ulterior means of joining them.]]

* AssholeVictims: Mastermind’s, and by extension the [[spoiler: league of SuperVillains’]], victims did deserve being attacked by them. These victims dabble in either extortion, selling cheaper quality items at inflated prices, racketing and/or offshore funding, amongst other things. [[spoiler: And then there’s those like [AbusiveParent Endeavour]. ]]

However, people tend to forget that there are villains in this world… and that there’s also ''Super''villains.

Written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/SsendamtheMasked/pseuds/Mean%20and%20Turf Mean and Turf]], and inspired by the likes of [[WesternAnimation/Megamind]] and Techno Queen, ‘‘‘Villain Notebook for the Future’’’ is essentially a [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia MHA]] fanfic, where it raises the question of WhatIf Izuku becomes a supervillain, but keeps his canon personality.

The fanfic spawned many side stories, including the one shot '''Nedzu's Deal with Eraserhead''', which can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39630618 here]], and a crossover with another MHA fanfic of his, called '''False Notebook for Villain Love - An Interdimensional Exchange!''' which can be found [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44718964 here]]

** [[spoiler: All for One, TheDreaded within the criminal underworld]], initially finds Mastermind hilarious once he first hears of him.

** Izuku, in canon, was just a quirkless kid with low self-esteem who was at the right place, right time, to be picked as the next symbol of peace. Mastermind, as Izuku goes by in the fic, planned and worked on being a supervillain since the age of 4, and because of it not only has he gotten smarter than those with intelligence-boosting quirks, formulating plans that's mostly foolproof, but is also able to take on several pro-heroes along the way, including [[TheDreaded Eraserhead]], with his greatest example would be [[spoiler: actually pulling off an Eraser quirk ray that worked, and it’s opposite.]] Not bad for a still quirkless kid.
** Inko midoriya, who’s only power is light telekinesis, ups her MamaBear status by not only going after those whose kids tried to strangle izuku back then, teaching her son how to give himself a [[DeathGlare death aura]], but she’s also the only person Bakugo never swears in front of, and for good reason.

* Mineta [[spoiler: has [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness toned down his perverted traits and is actually serious about being an actual hero]].]]
* Because of changes in canon, the 9nth holder of One For All happens to be [[spoiler: Mellissa Shield]].
* because of their intervention in the USJ, as well as [[spoiler: stealing their name, Shigiraki’s hatred is now directed towards Mastermind instead of All might, much to his sensei’s annoyance]]
* Stain and Midoriya fought much earlier than expected, whilst the former was [[spoiler: ambushing Tensei in an alleyway. In fact, his fight with Mastermind was what prompted him to go on a path to abandon his quest of attacking ‘false heroes’]].
** speaking of which, [[spoiler: Stain and spinner met soon after, with spinner now actually working for him instead of a group of villains only using Stain as a recruitment drive.]]

--> '''Izuku/Mastermin''': Well, Heroes, here we are! Unfortunately... you will be unable to stop the devilish machinations of Mastermind-''[[DramaticThunder KRAKATHOOM]]'', -and…

--> '''Mastermind''': ‘‘[[spoiler: THE LEAGUE OF SUPERVILLAINS!]]''

** the original LoV has their whole relationship between them changed [[spoiler: with mr compress and Twice joining Mastermind with the LoSV before the LoV could even be formed.]]
** [[spoiler: Twice went to the LoSV instead of the LoV]], and that was prior to the Hosu incident as well, [[spoiler: which was what inspired him in canon to join the LoV]].

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Minoru gets this twice in succession when, during the Hosu incident, he learns that he’s the OnlySaneGuy to ‘‘Tenya’’ of all people, the latter wanting to go after the guys that were responsible for his brother’s predicament [[spoiler: (Stain for injuring him, Mastermind and the LoSV for kidnapping him (again))]].

→ ‘‘Izuku/Mastermind’’: ‘‘‘“Well, Heroes, here we are! Unfortunately... you will be unable to stop the devilish machinations of Mastermind-’’ ‘‘‘[DramaticThunder KRAKATHOOM]’’’, ‘‘-and…’’
→ Mastermind and his colleagues struck their pose
→ ‘‘Mastermind’’: ‘‘[[spoiler: THE LEAGUE OF SUPERVILLAINS!]]’’

** [spoiler: Twice went to the LoSV instead of the LoV], and that was prior to the Hosu incident as well, [spoiler: which was what inspired him in canon to join the LoV].

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe:
** Aizawa has this reaction when he learns that [[spoiler: ]]
** Minoru gets this twice in succession when, during the Hosu incident, he learns that he’s the OnlySaneGuy to ‘‘Tenya’’ of all people, the latter wanting to go after the guys that were responsible for his brother’s predicament [[spoiler: (Stain for injuring him, Mastermind and the LoSV for kidnapping him (again))]].

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: A variation of it for both the first solo and team heist, as each step of the plan will be explained after it was executed. For the others, this trope is played straight.

** There are plenty of references to [[WesternAnimation/Megamind Megamind]], with Shigiraki’s rant to Mastermind at USJ being similar to Tighten’s, and mastermind’s use of a Frequent Kidnapping Card.

** of the EvilGenius trope, even Izuku knows that no plans are 100% full proof, and that there will be outliers that’ll crash in that’ll prove to be too much to handle even alone (such as eraserhead in the cake heist).

*** his thunder effect machine *Kara-Thooom*

** Tdodoroki's penchant for conspiracy theories; especially [[GulliganCut when it leads to ]][[TheCuckoolanderWasRight said theory being true]].

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In order to infiltrate the LoV, [[spoiler: Spinner renames himself as Splatter; only Tomura and mon, who’re the only ones to have met him in person before, are suspicious of him, but let him in in order to appease the others.]]
* SpringtimeForHittler: Izuku planned to not win the sport’s festival, only advance enough to gain legitimate recognition for his inventions. He breezed past the first round (which was the earlier he had planned to win) but couldn't afford to fail the second round thanks to Kachan picking him to join his group and, thanks to the malfunctions on the gears he made for each battle, accidentally won against both Shoto Todoroki and Mellisa Shield [[spoiler:, the latter having already gained One for All] in the single combat round.
* Squick: one of their heist on a company had led to them seeing the higher ups in a… compromising situation[[note]] they were indulging in acting like preschoolers, to say the least.[[/note]]

--> '''Mastermind [[spoiler: /Shinji]]''': ''To me, a Hero is somebody who helps others even when they’re not asked to! But you’re just a butcher! When was the last time you helped anybody in need?!''

** Ms Joke laughs when she realises that the bomb mastermind left after another one of his heists [spoiler: was in reality a simple volcano science project, with Mastermind literally telegraphically pointing it out by [ExactWords naming all the ingredients used, whilst making it sound like a threat].]

→ '''Mastermind [[spoiler: /Shinji]]''': ''To me, a Hero is somebody who helps others even when they’re not asked to! But you’re just a butcher! When was the last time you helped anybody in need?!''

'''Tenya''': (in his thoughts) ''What inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask?''
'''Mastermind'''/'''Izuku''': …I want [[TrademarkFavoriteFood katsudon]].

* BeneloventBoss: Izuku treats the members of his supervillain team as if they are all equals, even stepping down as leader temporarily if someone else wants to lead a mission.

* BunnyEaredLawyer:

** Shigiraki, a PsychoManChild who speaks in gamer Lingo and at one point quoted Eggman’s memetic speech from the [[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub fandub]], has nonetheless conjured many plans that his sensei approved of, including the [[spoiler: notorious bomber nomu attack at Hosu with a made up alliance with Stain so convincing, so well fabricated that those who had a legitimate connection with him [[CassandraTruth such as Spinner still has a hard time trying to clear his name]].]]

* DeconstructionTrope: Mainly of the Villain!Izuku Trope, much like another:

** At [[spoiler: Ingenium’s (Tensei, not Tenya) Hostage plot]], Izuku ask for ransom, aside from the usual amount of money expected in this scenario,[[spoiler: the ‘‘Hostage’s own signature’’[[Labelnote: As it turns out, there’s a practical reason for such a demand, as the [[FridgeBrilliance situation surrounding the signature would make it a collector’s item]].]].]]
** As it turned out, Dabi’s secret project, made with the sole intention of pissing off his father, [[spoiler: happens to be a Musical based on his life. When he considers joining the LoV, he asked if [[SkewedPriorities there’s some backup dancers around]].]]

** Tensei was still at Hosu when [spoiler: Stain attacked, and he’s the killer’s target.]

** Had Eraserhead not confront Izuku early, Izuku would’ve never managed to get the potential to replicate his Erasure Quirk [spoiler: as well as reversing it to create a Force-quirk activation-ray that even nullifies [[PowerNulifier Erasure]].]

*** His intervention in the USJ attack earned him Shigiraki’s [[BeserkButton hatred]], getting him to amp up his future attacks in retaliation.

*** Speaking of which, the whole family drama that Enji triggered snowballed into having ‘‘‘two’’’ of his children [spoiler: becoming criminals].

** For the team’s first heist, they had planned something crazy: they ‘‘FAKED’’ Mr Compress’ Quirk, hiding his compress quirk with a smoke machine and passing it off as a smoke warping quirk and renaming him Mr Warp.

** Tdodoroki's penchant for conspiracy theories; especially [[GulliganCut when it leads to ]][[CuckooLanderWasRight said theory being true]].

However, people tend to forget that there are villains in this world… and that there’s also SUPERvillains.

* AdaptionalBadass:

* AttentionDefficitOohShiny: Mastermind gets sidetracked whenever he meets a famous superhero (or supervillain, in the case of Gentle Criminal) and his first response would be to ask for their autograph.
