Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) | comment |
Apotheosis by Lord Wolfe is a My Hero Academia fanfic. It's a pseudo-Crossover between My Hero Academia and the Marvel Universe, where Izuku gets the idea to recreate The Infinity Gauntlet using Quirks from a pile of old Marvel comic books. With this power, he plans to recreate hero society in his image.Official Summary: Apotheosis, the highest point in the development of something or if you prefer, the elevation of someone to divine status. "Fun isn't something one considers when trying to create a better world", Izuku smirked as he held up his gauntlet covered fist. "But this does put a smile on my face". Villain Izuku, eventually OP as hell. Infinity Gauntlet AU.Not to be confused with the book series or the roleplaying game. | |

Became Their Own Antithesis | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_11a74598 | comment |
Became Their Own Antithesis: Izuku went from a hero fanboy who idolized All Might to a supervillain who despises the current hero society, and All Might in particular. Uraraka and Todoroki went from heroes in training to willingly subordinates of a well known supervillain, while also masking as public heroes. | |

Thinking Up Portals: Izuku has a lot of fun putting the Space Stone to use in chapter 11. He can use it to cut people's arms off, make them hit each other, teleport across the battlefield, use them to redirect enemy attacks like Bakugou's Explosion and Flash Step enemies. | |

Hero Antagonist: Up to Chapter 32, the main heroes who directly opposed Izuku were All Might and Katsuki Bakugo. From chapter 33 onwards, this role has shifted to Sir Nighteye and Mirio Togata, due to the former two being Put on a Bus. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Even after seeing the good that Izuku could do with his ambitions, All Might still opposes him because he can tell that Izuku's stubborn determination and near-endless power will cause him to take a leap off the deep end if things don't go his way. This is ultimately proven completely correct when Izuku horrifically murders Overhaul, seemingly confirming that Izuku is only going to get worse as times goes on and will eventually become a full villain. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_15385326 | comment |
You Can't Thwart Stage One: In spite of the efforts of the heroes, Izuku achieves every short-term goal he had created in order to take over and fix society. He completes his Infinity Gauntlet, gains a powerful government position that essentially makes him the boss of the heroes, creates the HRD, and destroys All Might's legacy and position as the Symbol of Peace. Izuku has nearly achieved a full victory, leaving the heroes that oppose him scrambling to find ways to defeat him for good. | |

Visionary Villain | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_1843bf38 | comment |
Visionary Villain: Izuku again. His entire motive is to reform hero society and excise the corruption and gatekeeping within it as it currently stands. He became a villain in order to force it to happen by giving them an enemy who is working from within the system and thus is acting with legitimate authority while not pretending to be anything other than a villain. Either he accomplishes his goal on his own, or they surprise him and enact the reforms of their own volition. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: Despite regarding Izuku as a major threat, the government refuses to send in their more powerful heroes and instead decides to have the U.A. staff handle it (one of whom, admittedly, is All Might). This backfires them, because even with All Might it isn't enough; Izuku ultimately wins and escapes, and after that, he's too powerful for anyone to stop. | |

Wrong Context Magic: If the "magic" refers to quirks. The Infinity Gauntlet and its capabilities are something that absolutely nobody, (but Izuku) ever thought of, nor can really figure out to combat. | |

Fantastic Ableism | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_1e312453 | comment |
Fantastic Ableism: Part of Izuku's Freudian Excuse. His goal to restructure hero society (as seen in Well-Intentioned Extremist below) is partially motivated by a desire to eliminate ableism against the Quirkless like himself and those who have weak Quirks. Izuku then reveals that it's most likely ableism that deters the Quirkless from joining hero schools despite there being a law that allegedly now allows Quirkless to join. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Whetever or not Mei Hatsume has made a legitimate Face–Heel Turn or not has let to be clarified. She is never shown to state her loyalty towards Izuku and, despite working directly under him, the story frames her recruitment into the HRD as more of her taking a job than becoming a personal soldier. While she does head the development of Nemesis and provides gear for the Knights, both of these are for purely good purposes, as Nemesis and the gear, at least so far, have been exclusively used for public heroism. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that suggests that she is devout towards Izuku's cause and most heroes are convinced that she made a full Face–Heel Turn, but until it is directly confirmed Hatsume's loyalties remain a mystery. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Numerous characters are a lot more morally grey or black than in canon. The biggest example is Izuku Midoriya. In canon, All Might's speech to him only depressed him immensely and it's implied his dream would just be broken. Here? All Might crushing his dreams caused him to snap, and with inspiration from Marvel Comics, he fashions his own Infinity Gauntlet and becomes a Knight Templar, intent on exposing the current Hero Society for its corruption and attempting to rebuild it from the ground up, in the process becoming a bigger threat than All for One. He's also much crueler and dogmatic, willing to abandon the Hero Native just to avoid fighting Stain, and subjecting numerous heroes to Cruel Mercy by stripping them of their quirks for even the slightest bit of egotism. The narrative even goes as far as to say he is more dogmatic than Stain. Ochako and Shoto. In canon, both are Hero Course students intent on becoming legitimate heroes, and while they have their own personal hangups, they remain on the straight and narrow the entire time. Here? After she's made into The Scapegoat, Ochako fully subscribes to Izuku's ideals and becomes one of his leading agents, whereas Shoto is convinced to join him after Izuku brings Endeavor down. The two both believe Izuku can legitimately change the world and are willing to entertain his less than savory methods if need be. Played with in regards to Endeavor. In canon, Endeavor had a Heel Realization after the events of Kamino Ward and All Might's retirement, coming to regret what he put his family through after it became All for Nothing, and while his attempts at redemption are understandably rejected, he's still legitimately trying to be both a better hero, father, and husband, even sending Rei her favorite flowers, something she notes she only told him once when they were first dating. Here, Endeavor never had that Heel Realization, and as such his personality is that of before Kamino Ward, where he was a legitimate Hate Sink with no remorse for the numerous things he did. This may be justified by the fact that he never met and got called out by Izuku at the Sports Festival like in canon, which was implied to have implanted the seed that led to said Heel Realization. Mt. Lady and Uwabami. In canon, while one was a Glory Seeker and the other an Attention Whore, both ultimately still cared about the good they did, and were genuine heroes. Even the former had legitimate reasons for her Glory Seeker tendencies — thanks to all the collateral damage she causes in her villain fights, her agency is constantly in the red. Here, they're decried as celebrities pretending to be heroes by Izuku and are two of his first victims in his attempts to rebuild Hero Society. Izuku's assertion of them is then validated when he offers the two the chance to get back their Quirks provided they act more altruistically like he desires, only for the two instead try to start a smear campaign against him after he depowered them. | |

All Crimes Are Equal | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_211eedd | comment |
All Crimes Are Equal: Once Izuku has the power to finally do something about "false heroes" he tends to punish them all the same way: publicly humiliating them and taking their quirks. All Might? Crushed Izuku's dreams with no consideration of how his words could've hurt him. Punishment: De-power. Endeavor? Abused his family for his own ambitions, used his power to cover up the harm to his family and normal citizens. Punishment: De-power. Weather Dominator? Used his powers to run an extortion racket and destroyed the livelihoods of those who refused to pay. Punishment: De-power. Uwabami and Mount Lady? Focused too much on attaining fame and attention than their hero careers. Punishment: De-power. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_220c23cb | comment |
Condescending Compassion: While All Might is a good hero, he believes that people with no quirks or impractical quirks should leave the dangerous heroing to people who won the Superpower Lottery. Which sounds practical on paper...had All Might not completely forgotten the institutional discrimination and social ostracization people with no quirks or impractical quirks face. Combined that All Might is publicly famous for saying that anybody could be a hero, it makes him a huge hypocrite. | |

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Compared to the other students of Class 1-A, Bakugou is brutalized extensively (i.e. beaten down, having an entire factory dropped on him, breaking his arms, and nearly disintegrated) by Izuku. Following the incident at the Raxus Junkyard, Bakugou has been left hospitalised and suffering PTSD. | |

Cruel to Be Kind: All Might crushes Izuku's dreams of being a hero to protect a Muggle from a futile and dangerous path. It ended up massively backfiring on him as his well-meaning Brutal Honesty caused Izuku to despise him and everything All Might stands for. After a lifetime of discrimination and disappointment, All Might ends being the last straw that puts Izuku on a dark path. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: During the battle at Coruscant Stadium, All Might is ultimately faced with an undesirable outcome no matter who wins. Izuku wins? All Might is labeled a villain, detained for attacking a government official, and no one is left to stop Izuku. All Might wins? Izuku is detained and everything he has done is reversed, but the majority of the population now despises both All Might and heroes. No matter what, All Might will go down as the villain, and society will be irreversibly changed. | |

The Dreaded | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: By the time Chapter 24 rolls in, Izuku has already established this status among the Staff at U.A. and by extension, all the heroes. Izuku's status as this ends up being one of the main reasons, aside from his focus on Revenge, as to why the heroes still oppose him in spite of the good that he is doing. The fact that Izuku has all the power in the world to do whatever he wants and could bring the hammer down on anyone he wants at any moment leaves the heroes unable to really speak out against him, forcing them to be kept in line and fear him. While characters such as Ochako claim that this is simply because the heroes refuse to accept and understand Izuku, the fact that the boy has done almost nothing to clear up this notion speaks otherwise. | |

Break the Haughty | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Bakugou in no short order has his ego taken apart: He watches Izuku, the-thought-to-be-worthless "Deku" hold his own, and later win against All Might. He himself is on the receiving end of a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Izuku, which leaves him somewhat traumatized and repeatedly hallucinating Izuku mocking him for not just his loss, but his canonical kidnapping likely what hastened All Might's loss of power. He's fed a massive The Reason You Suck speech from Aizawa, in which he's told that he's nothing special, and that his quirk and personality is not suited for being a hero. Once the rest of class 1A hears about his past bullying, they all refuse to associate with him any further, blaming him in part for Izuku's rise, with Kirishima, his only friend, giving him a Disappointed in You speech and breaking off their friendship. Bakugou is forced to attend counseling, anger management, and community service in which he watches over quirkless children (with the warning that if he slips up even once, he'll be expelled at best, or quirk taken away at worse). Said children in his community service also idolize Izuku, which infuriates Bakugou to no end, but as he's now on a tight leash, he cannot contradict them. Bakugou then loses his rematch with Todoroki, and has his "heroes always win" ideology shattered when he sees All Might near completely lose against Izuku. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: By Chapter 22, Izuku has already effectively won. He has a powerful government position presiding over the Hero Industry, his Infinity Gauntlet is fully complete, making him essentially unbeatable, and he's exposes All Might's secret to the world, destroying his ability to spread hope as the Symbol of Peace. Even more so by Chapter 32, when Izuku manages to beat All Might, one of the two people who has a chance to beat Izuku in direct combat and who was running on the last embers of One For All, while also successfully destroying his reputation and labeling him as a villain. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: Ochako's expulsion has shades of this. She's the only one to be hit with such a punishment even though other students were involved, the actual plan that led to it was Kirishima's idea, and Bakugou's involvement was outright illegal as he lacked a provisional license. It's implied that the government's efforts at damage control are responsible for this and that the U.A. staff would have been more even-handed if it weren't for external interference. Aizawa later admits that this was pretty much the case, noting that Bakugou should have been punished properly for his actions and that Ochako would have been left alone if it was just the school that had decided her discipline. This ultimately bites U.A. in the ass when Ochako becomes Izuku's second-in-command. | |

Attention Whore | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_31df118 | comment |
Izuku's firing and de-powering of Uwabami and Mt. Lady comes off as this. While the two women are Attention Whores, there's nothing inherently wrong about that and at least they still did their jobs without outright abusing their positions. While some punishment and retraining/counseling was certainly warranted, taking their Quirks and kicking them out of the hero system was going too far. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_326a44a1 | comment |
Create Your Own Villain: All Might blames himself for Izuku's descent into villainy, which is why he intends to defeat Izuku before allowing Mirio to take up his mantle. Notably, nobody tries to dissuade him from his belief; everyone from Aizawa to Nezu fully acknowledge that All Might is partially responsible for what happened. | |

Redemption Rejection | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_32785419 | comment |
Redemption Rejection: During his rise to power, multiple characters, the most persistent being All Might, offer Izuku the chance to quietly surrender and stop whatever he is doing. Izuku ends up rejecting them every time, both believing that his cause is necessary and viewing their offers as condescending and nothing more than misplaced pity. Not even All Might telling the boy that he could still become a hero (mind you, this is after the boy actively helped the League of Villains, caused a ton of property damage, and injured multiple heroes) made him back down. Proving that he isn't completely ignoring the discrepancy in the severity of their crimes, Izuku offered Uwabami and Mt. Lady a chance to regain their Quirks and rejoin the hero industry. All they had to do was prove that they had learned their lesson by donating to charities and helping out citizens with volunteer work. He even put them in touch with one such organization that cared for troubled Quirkless kids. Do they take him up on his offer? No. Instead, they pay off the media to slander him instead. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_32da548d | comment |
Arch-Enemy: Izuku stylizes himself as All Might's, which is partially true. All Might ultimately cannot find it in himself to hate Izuku, as he was responsible for why Izuku is the way he is. Not to mention, Izuku is still only a minor, so even trying to return that visceral hatred feels wrong to All Might on a conceptual level, let alone a personal one. Izuku and Katsuki, and unlike the above it is very mutual. Even when Katsuki is far beneath in him power, Izuku can't help but enjoy beating the crap out of him and humiliating him at every available opportunity. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Ochako and Tenya. While both are main characters in canon, they have been pushed into the background since the Final Exams arc and, unlike fellow main characters Izuku, Bakugo, and Shoto, they have yet to receive any significant focus since. Here, however, both of them consistently play important roles, with them at first acting as some of the primary hero antagonists against Izuku, and later with them joining Izuku, Ochako taking the position of Izuku's dragon and Implied Love Interest, and Tenya becoming The Mole within the Hero Regulation Department. All of this gives both characters consistent story presence and focus that they haven't received in canon. | |

Glory Seeker | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_3be94971 | comment |
Mt. Lady and Uwabami. In canon, while one was a Glory Seeker and the other an Attention Whore, both ultimately still cared about the good they did, and were genuine heroes. Even the former had legitimate reasons for her Glory Seeker tendencies — thanks to all the collateral damage she causes in her villain fights, her agency is constantly in the red. Here, they're decried as celebrities pretending to be heroes by Izuku and are two of his first victims in his attempts to rebuild Hero Society. Izuku's assertion of them is then validated when he offers the two the chance to get back their Quirks provided they act more altruistically like he desires, only for the two instead try to start a smear campaign against him after he depowered them. | |

Morton's Fork: All Might's fight with Izuku at Coruscant stadium is filled with this. Izuku wins, and All Might is depowered, possibly killed or arrested, and imprisoned for assaulting a government official, leaving the boy completely unopposed. All Might wins, but it will cost him the remainder of his strength, leaving Japan without its greatest hero and easy prey for villains, never mind Izuku ending up a martyr for the quirkless and impractical quirk users. Additionally (although unsaid), it's implied that if All Might removes Izuku's Infinity Gauntlet, the device's continual existence will be the ultimate tantalizing prize for an uprising public and villains to either steal or attempt to replicate. | |

Aizawa himself can't take a stand, because he has an impractical Quirk but was one of the lucky few to be given the chance to become a hero. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty: Bakugou got away with horrifically bullying Izuku out of racism for years and it doesn't even hinder his chances of getting into U.A. Bakugou illegally attempted to fight Izuku, an at-large supervillain without a license, destroys Ochako's legitimate investigation and gets his ass handed to him. Bakugou doesn't even get punished for it while the innocent Ochako is expelled. Unbeknownst to Bakugou, the incident has U.A. investigate his past and find out about his unpunished bullying and his part in making Izuku a villain. When Bakugou attempts to attack Izuku when the latter is a government official with the power to screw U.A. over, they have enough. Aizawa bluntly tells Bakugou he's not special, he's not cut to be a hero and they should have expelled him instead of Ochako. Aizawa tells Bakugou they will no longer tolerate his attitude, he's to report to mandatory counseling and will be facing punishment with the promise of expulsion if he acts out of line. | |

Friendly Enemy: Despite having every reason to hate him, Mirio Togata is extremely kind towards Izuku, both making a genuine attempt to befriend the boy and believing that he can redeem him. Izuku, in turn, eventually warms up to Mirio and seems to somewhat return the friendship, albeit in a more professional manner. A common way to gain Izuku's respect and kindness, even if you are on the opposite side of him, is to show values of a true hero. As a result, Izuku is shown to have nothing but respect for the likes of Ochako, Todoroki (when they were on different sides, at least.), Iida, Kirishima, Momo, Tsuyu, Mirio, and Best Jeanist. In a way that somewhat mirrors Izuku and Mirio's friendship, Ochako is shown to have a decently good relationship with Nejire Hado. The Culture Festival also confirmed that Ochako is still friends with her former classmates in spite of her loyalty to Izuku. | |

That being said, he does feel guilt for what he's done and it foils his attempts to bring Izuku in. | |

To All Might, Izuku was just a kid that's working to destroy everything All Might has worked for as a result of well-meaning but poor advice. All for One calls All Might out for crushing Izuku's dream without any consideration, and Izuku point blank asks if All Might would have ever apologized to him had Izuku not become a dangerous villain and if All Might thought about him even once after their first meeting. All Might only reacts by looking away in shame, knowing that Izuku is right | |

It's only to be used if either a situation has escalated out of control, or if the threat a particular villain poses is too great. | |

Doomed Moral Victor: All Might clearly regrets his well-meaning but ill-timed advice to Midoriya, and sympathizes with him upon hearing his Motive Rant. The guilt he feels, however, costs him and society greatly, as it prevents him from fully going all out against the boy, seeing him as a boy who desperately needs help and not a true villain, in their battles they’ve had currently. Midoriya even lampshades that had All Might done so, he and the other heroes could have stopped him easily even before his power became exponentially greater. | |

Adaptational Badass: Even if it's an Adaptational Wimp compared to the comics' Infinity Gauntlet, the story's Infinity Gauntlet is still a powerful weapon that outstrips practically every other Quirk on the planet. Once Izuku completes it, he's unarguably the strongest person on the planet. | |

The Woobie | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_743d2893 | comment |
Izuku is a mixture of The Woobie and Well-Intentioned Extremist variants. The hardest thing about watching Izuku's descent into villainy (both In-Universe and Out-) is that, even during his worst moments, there are still hints that the old Izuku is still in there: the Izuku who wanted to help people, who desperately wanted to be a hero more than anything else. In fact, Izuku's initial plan with the Infinity Gauntlet was to become a hero to spite All Might and Katsuki. It's only after seeing the worst parts of the hero system while building the gauntlet that he changed his goals to destroying the current hero society and building a new one in its place. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Once Izuku starts forming the Infinity Gauntlet, the luck of the heroes' goes down the crapper. Izuku's plans start to come to fruition, and he, in quick succession: Exposes both All Might's true form and the secret about One for All, publicly shaming him and causing an uprising amongst the Quirkless and those with impractical Quirks. Steals One for All (something thought to be impossible). Forms his version of the Soul Stone using All for One, which will allow him to steal every other Quirk in existence. Beats the hell out of several U.A. students to get the Soul Stone, hospitalizing one and causing another to be expelled. Recruits the expelled student to his cause, giving him a spy with insight into U.A. Blackmails the Japanese Government into making him the head official of what is basically, the Hero Commission's ethics committee, not only making him untouchable to the heroes but also their boss. And finally, publicly shames the Number Two hero Endeavor, first by having his new and improved Titan robots subdue him, then, after he's captured, firing him on live television and taking his Quirk from him. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: Several people attempt to do this towards Izuku, most notably Momo asking Izuku what will happen to him when all of the bad people in his perfect world are gone, and Aizawa asking Izuku, who was criticizing U.A. for prioritizing quirks over personalities, if him recruiting Ochako, Tenya, and Shoto is any different than U.A. giving Katsuki a second chance biased on his quirk, as they are powerful quirk users like him. Unfortunately, Izuku shuts them down rather quickly. All Might wishes that he should have lied to Izuku that he can be a hero but Prime Minister Akira inquires if any hero school would have accepted the boy. All Might, in shame, says that they won't. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Izuku gives several to All Might and Katsuki. He also gives another to Endeavor after revoking his hero license and taking away his Quirk. Aizawa gives one to All Might in Chapter 23. It also doubles as one to himself, as he admits that he isn't so different from All Might. Bakugo gets one himself in Chapter 24 from Aizawa. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: It's constantly pointed out that if All Might had treated Izuku with a little more tact, Izuku would've never become a supervillain. The government puts pressure on U.A. to be harsher on their students to counteract the bad publicity they're getting from Izuku's antics. This leads to Ochako's expulsion — which makes her susceptible to Izuku's manipulations. Gee, Uwabami, Mt. Lady, Izuku has taken your Quirks and kicked you out of the hero system, but he's offered you a chance to earn your way back in. You don't want to take it, that's fine, completely understandable — but trying to slander him instead? You idiots! All you've done destroyed any sympathy the public had for you and made him look justified in his actions! Several of Class 1-A manage to entrap Midoriya and hold him down while trying to remove the Infinity Gauntlet. And then Midoriya needles Bakugou, causing the explosive user to completely ruin the plan, allowing Midoriya to escape, beat them all down, and claim the Soul Stone. Endeavor's ruthless ambition to surpass All Might and to raise a child who would become the number one hero directly leads to him getting depowered, kicked out of the hero system, and publicly ostracized, all while driving two of his children, both of whom had the potential to become powerful heroes, to villainy. | |

Never Hurt an Innocent | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_82384b1 | comment |
Never Hurt an Innocent: Thus far in the story, Izuku has yet to kill a single innocent person (the most he can be charged with in regards to that is being an accessory to murder) and actively avoids civilian casualties. During his second fight with All Might, he only starts going all out when he realizes the heroes have evacuated all the civilians in the immediate area. However, this is somewhat subverted when Izuku kills Overhaul, but to be fair, given all the horrible things he's done to Eri, one would be EXTREMELY hard-pressed to call him an innocent. | |

The Social Darwinist | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_8573ac0a | comment |
The Social Darwinist: Another accusation Izuku makes of All Might is that he looks down on the weak and "won't even give [them] a chance to be strong", out of the belief that they might "upstage" him. That accusation, unlike others, is wrong; All Might doesn't look down on the Quirkless and those with weak Quirks because he fears possibly being upstaged, but because he recognizes the dangers of the hero industry and fears for their safety. His concern might be a little misguided, but it's genuine and altruistic. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi made consistent appearances during the first arc of the story, working with U.A to bring down the League and even being the one to first come forth with the idea of Izuku being Apotheosis. Despite this, the man completely vanishes from the story after Izuku initially outs himself, and we never see his reaction to both Izuku gaining a position within the government and All Might, one of his close friends, being branded a villain and going on the run. He does finally reappear in the story after the Shie Hassaikai raid, subverting this. | |

Playing with a Trope | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_8741b74 | comment |
Played with in regards to Endeavor. In canon, Endeavor had a Heel Realization after the events of Kamino Ward and All Might's retirement, coming to regret what he put his family through after it became All for Nothing, and while his attempts at redemption are understandably rejected, he's still legitimately trying to be both a better hero, father, and husband, even sending Rei her favorite flowers, something she notes she only told him once when they were first dating. Here, Endeavor never had that Heel Realization, and as such his personality is that of before Kamino Ward, where he was a legitimate Hate Sink with no remorse for the numerous things he did. This may be justified by the fact that he never met and got called out by Izuku at the Sports Festival like in canon, which was implied to have implanted the seed that led to said Heel Realization. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: One of the reasons as to why the heroes are fighting an uphill battle against Midoriya is that, once he is able to do something to change the corrupt system, he instantly becomes an icon and savior to the millions of people that suffered as he did. His ability to tear down and point out the perpetuated lies within the system and make changes to improve Japan for the better only adds to this more and more, with those who didn't suffer coming to his side and supporting him. By the time Midoriya has his supposed final battle against All Might, public opinion is near-unanimously on his side, guaranteeing that anyone who attempts to take him down will be ostracized by the public. Just to show how important it is to get rid of Midoriya's positive public opinion in order to defeat him, Nezu's role in the battle at Coruscant Stadium, that being exposing Midoriya's allegiance with Stain, is treated as being just as important as All Might actually beating the boy in a fight. | |

Asshole Victim: Izuku's de-powering of Weather Dominator was entirely necessary.

Given Endeavor's unrepentant family abusing behavior and constant collateral damages from his cases, depowering the man doesn't exactly come across as a sin, as well as when this is repeated to Overhaul. | |

Revenge | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_92f674e5 | comment |
Revenge: This is perhaps the biggest reason why many of the more morally-inclined heroes do not support Izuku. While he does have genuinely altruistic reasons for his crusade, the illegal, violent, and oftentimes cruel methods he employs to achieve his goals also make it clear that he also wants revenge on the society that rejected and discriminated against him. Tenya exemplifies and lampshades this before joining Izuku as a mole for U.A. — while he agrees with Izuku on many of the problems with the hero industry, he simply can't approve of the methods Izuku is using to correct them, because he knows Izuku is partially motivated by revenge rather than necessity when using them. | |

Evil Is Easy: A major criticism that Aizawa has with Izuku's methods is that the boy took the easy way by becoming a villain, and that everything he set out to do could have been done by becoming a hero and changing the system within. It would have been more difficult, but all of the endless destruction and cruelty could have been avoided. Tellingly, while Izuku disagree with the idea that his path was easy, this statement is never said to be wrong. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_9b5516f0 | comment |
Showy Invincible Hero: Invoked, and the invocation is Deconstructed. All Might's putting on the image of someone unbeatable and the perfect hero is an image even he cannot live up to. Subsequently, his entirely human flaws and mistakes seem so much worse because they break the perfect image he has cultivated. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Once Izuku starts forming the Infinity Gauntlet, he instantly becomes the biggest villain threat since All for One, able to threaten even All Might in battle. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: See Hope Spot. Earlier that same chapter, Izuku revealed to Ochako that he will never take off the Infinity Gauntlet, going as far as installing a hydration and cleaning mechanism inside so his arm won't suffer some debilitating medical infection due to poor hygiene. Knowing all that, why would he create a device specifically to counter the gauntlet? As of Chapter 36, Izuku is shown to be having problems with insomnia, specifically blaming it on a repetitive dream of people he doesn't recognize. Anyone aware of One For All and canon should know that these "dreams" are the spirits of the past One For All users attempting to communicate with Izuku. | |

Ascended Extra | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Stain. While Stain's actions in canon have had widespread consequences that affect the story up to this day, the man himself was only a primary villain for one arc and, aside from the occasional cameo, he has let to make any other significant appearance in the main story.note He has, however, played a large role in the Illegals spinoff and the Final War Saga. Not only does Stain make it past the Hosu Arc here, he eventually becomes Izuku's third-in-command, and, out of the villain's side of the Knights of Balance, he by far has the most focus. Ochako and Tenya. While both are main characters in canon, they have been pushed into the background since the Final Exams arc and, unlike fellow main characters Izuku, Bakugo, and Shoto, they have yet to receive any significant focus since. Here, however, both of them consistently play important roles, with them at first acting as some of the primary hero antagonists against Izuku, and later with them joining Izuku, Ochako taking the position of Izuku's dragon and Implied Love Interest, and Tenya becoming The Mole within the Hero Regulation Department. All of this gives both characters consistent story presence and focus that they haven't received in canon. | |

Armor-Piercing Response: When All Might tries to apologize to Izuku for when he said that he couldn't be a hero, Izuku angrily responds that he's not sorry about what he said, he's sorry that his actions were the catalyst that led to Izuku becoming a villain, and that he'd probably never think about him again had he not turned into a such a dangerous person. | |

Endeavor's ruthless ambition to surpass All Might and to raise a child who would become the number one hero directly leads to him getting depowered, kicked out of the hero system, and publicly ostracized, all while driving two of his children, both of whom had the potential to become powerful heroes, to villainy. | |

All for Nothing: U.A.'s decides to expel Uraraka rather than Bakugou, the latter being deemed one step closer to becoming a villain. It backfires massively as Uraraka willingly joins Izuku Midoriya as one of his Knights of Balance and Bakugou's continued assault against the villain not only causes him to be branded as a criminal but results in U.A. losing public and government trusts. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
This is also implied to be the reason why the Hero Commission covered for Endeavor so much. On top of his great work rate (more completed cases than All Might), his obsession with being the best could translate to villainy if they ended his hero career. Combined with his destructive Quirk and All Might's declining power and rising age, a Face–Heel Turn would be a recipe for disaster. Izuku only managed to avoid that by taking Endeavor's Quirk. | |

Tragic Villain | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_b5171e10 | comment |
Tragic Villain: How Izuku is viewed as by a significant number of people, such as All Might, Mirio, Ochako, and even himself. When it comes down to it, Izuku is a scared child who loved heroes, only to have his dreams crushed by his idol and was let down by all the important people in his life for something that was completely outside of his control. When Inko begs him to stop and come home, Izuku admits that the offer is extremely tempting, but he's simply gone too far to stop now. Of Izuku's subordinates, Ochako Uraraka and Shoto Todoroki also count. Both of them were aspiring heroes who ended up suffering under the corruption of the hero system in direct ways, Uraraka being unjustly expelled from U.A. and Todoroki living under an abusive pro hero father. These circumstances lead them to believe that Izuku's cause is fully just and the right one, leading to them joining the villain and giving him their undying support in spite of seeing the worst in him. The fact that they are still becoming public heroes shows that, ultimately, they are completely misguided teenagers who suffered due to circumstance. | |

False Utopia | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_b535a9d6 | comment |
False Utopia: The hero and government system within Apotheosis appears to be perfect and fair on a surface level. Underneath the surface, however, is a system that is horrifically corrupt. Civilians worship heroes as infallible gods that are always right, Heroes that actively abuse their powers and commit crimes get them covered up by the Hero Commission so the public doesn't lose faith in them, Black-and-White Morality plagues the minds of many, and people who don't have useful, non-villainous quirks suffer in silence and are actively discriminated against. While not quite a Crapsack World, it's far from the perfect system one would be led to believe it is. This is no less true once Midoriya takes over. While he does solve many of these issues, this doesn't change the fact that the system is now being run by a villain who actively, and secretly, breaks the law in order to maintain an iron grip over society, while also have the legal authority to bring the hammer down on anyone he so chooses. | |

Double Standard | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_b6cebad3 | comment |
Double Standard: A Discussed Trope that comes up in regards to Ochako's expulsion from U.A. when Izuku meets up with Ochako following his being revealed as a villain. He points out how unfair it is that Ochako (who has a provisional license that allowed her to go on patrol and was investigating a possible lead about a dangerous villain) was punished so severely while Bakugou (who lacks a license giving him permission to take action and knowingly charged off to get involved a battle with a villain) winds up a Karma Houdini for his stunt. Izuku believes it's because of how powerful Bakugou's Quirk is while Ochako's comparatively less potent Quirk left her as an ideal scapegoat for U.A. to expel. The truth is actually a little more palatable: they expelled Ochako instead of Katsuki because they figured the injuries he received for his decision were punishment enough, and only went through with expelling Ochako because of government pressure. They (or at least Aizawa) even came to regret not punishing Katsuki further because he failed to learn from the experience and his attitude remained unchanged. | |

Demoted to Extra: This appears to be the fate of the minor members of Class 1-A (a.k.a., whoever didn't participate in the Raxas Junkyard Battle) and the minor members of the League of Villains (a.k.a., anyone not named Dabi, Toga, Kurogiri, or Muscular). In canon, both groups are consistent background characters who occasionally receive focus, especially the League. Here, both groups are downgraded to only making passing cameos, and they at most receive the occasional line and appearance. Mina, Twice, and Mr. Compress are the only members of these groups that have received any focus, and it's ultimately minor for all three. | |

During his rise to power, multiple characters, the most persistent being All Might, offer Izuku the chance to quietly surrender and stop whatever he is doing. Izuku ends up rejecting them every time, both believing that his cause is necessary and viewing their offers as condescending and nothing more than misplaced pity. Not even All Might telling the boy that he could still become a hero (mind you, this is after the boy actively helped the League of Villains, caused a ton of property damage, and injured multiple heroes) made him back down. | |

In short, now Izuku is powerful and Bakugou is powerless, a complete reverse of their dynamic for the last ten years. | |

Hope Spot: Momo uses her Quirk to build a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet with the intent of using the Soul Stone against Izuku. Except... it doesn't work. Nedzu receives info about an anti-Gauntlet weapon Izuku created in case the Infinity Gauntlet was ever taken from him and used against him. The entire staff is elated, and they immediately plot to steal it during a scheduled sit-down interview he has the next day, using Tenya Iida as the thief. The operation goes off without a hitch until Tenya actually lays hands on the device. He's immediately captured, and it turns out the whole thing was a trap from the beginning. The interview was taped the previous day, and the device isn't even real. All Might manages to land an extremely powerful punch on Midoriya with the last of his strength during their second battle, seemingly knocking the boy unconscious and defeating him. Que an extremely pissed off Midoriya bursting out of the rubble and revealing that All Might still held back against him, punching the weakened hero, and escaping. In Chapter 46, just as Mitsuki is relieved that she's somehow able to convince Izuku to give her son a lighter sentence for his crimes rather than facing imprisonment, Izuku reveals he'll just remove Katsuki's quirk as the next best option. | |

Big Bad Wannabe: After Izuku's rise to power, it becomes very clear very quickly that the League of Villains have no chance in hell to even come close to matching Izuku's influence, power, and popularity. Chapter 25 makes the League's position as this very clear. Izuku states, in no uncertain terms, that the only reason the League continues to exist is because of how grateful Izuku is towards All For One, and that if he wanted to, the League would be brought down with ease. To further rub salt in the wound, Dabi and Toga end up defecting to Izuku's side, depriving Shigaraki of two important members. | |

Shout-Out | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Just like in canon, some of the locations are named after planets from Star Wars. The name of the Prime Minister is Akira Toriyama. One of Izuku's first creations is a scouter-like device from Dragon Ball Z. There are several from Avengers: Infinity War from battle at the junkyard is a big reference to the Battle of Titan to Izuku quoting Thanos along with the infamous finger snap (albeit nerfed, see Adaptational Wimp above). Chapter 22 sees the appearance of a villain who is quite literally The Mask/Big Head. In Chapter 32, All Might's attempts to stage a coup on Izuku is exactly how the Jedi Order attempts to apprehend Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith. Even Izuku's response to the threat is also how Palpatine reacts in the film. | |

Kick Them While They're Down: Outright defied by U.A., though with later reluctance. As Aizawa explains to Katsuki, the real reason they didn't expel him after the fight at the junkyard is that they figured the severe beating he received was punishment enough. Aizawa then tells him that he now regrets the decision, because Katsuki completely failed to learn from it, and lays down an ultimatum to force him to shape up. | |

Beyond the Impossible | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_cc6f4612 | comment |
Beyond the Impossible: Izuku manages to steal One for All and coalesce it into the Power Stone, using All Might's blood and Tomura's blood. When he learns this, All Might is shocked and horrified, as not even All for One had managed that feat in the last two hundred years. Izuku later uses All for One's DNA to do the same with his Quirk and create the Soul Stone. | |

Anti-Villain | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Izuku is a mixture of The Woobie and Well-Intentioned Extremist variants. The hardest thing about watching Izuku's descent into villainy (both In-Universe and Out-) is that, even during his worst moments, there are still hints that the old Izuku is still in there: the Izuku who wanted to help people, who desperately wanted to be a hero more than anything else. In fact, Izuku's initial plan with the Infinity Gauntlet was to become a hero to spite All Might and Katsuki. It's only after seeing the worst parts of the hero system while building the gauntlet that he changed his goals to destroying the current hero society and building a new one in its place. Ochako Uraraka and Shoto Todoroki, like Izuku, suffered under the worst parts of the hero system and fell into villainy due to this, both becoming Izuku's direct subordinates after being convinced that his cause is just. They are still becoming public heroes and still hold onto many of their generally heroic personality traits and goals, but their conviction to Izuku's cause firmly keeps them on the side of evil. | |

In Spite of a Nail | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_d243518d | comment |
In Spite of a Nail: Despite Izuku's absence from Class 1-A, most of the events of the school year happen more-or-less the same as they did in canon, with a few exceptions. Related to the above, the events leading up to the Shie Hassaikai raid happen very similarly to canon, in spite of the presence of the HRD, the public losing faith in heroes, and Izuku and Ochako being a part of the HRD and not interning under Sir Nighteye and Ryukyu respectively. In the end, Izuku still receives One for All. Though, in this case, it wasn't "receive" so much as steal. Similarly, Izuku also obtains All For One, as he does in many other A Us where he is a supervillain as the result of broken dreams and/or his life being ruined. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Many people rip into All Might for crushing Izuku's dreams and starting him on the path of villainy. Nezu's in particularly is poignant because he never directly calls All Might out. Instead, he points out that all of Izuku's accomplishments and brilliance, including the creation of the Infinity Gauntlet, outright prove that All Might was wrong and that Izuku would've made a wonderful hero. Considering Nezu's own Quirk only boosts his intelligence, you get the feeling that he was identifying with Izuku on some level. Sir Nighteye gives a minor one. He's offended that All Might would think that their prior disagreements equaled him wanting All Might dead and gone. He also questions why he was left out of the efforts against Midoriya, citing that his Combat Clairvoyance would have been a very useful asset. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: The Infinity Stones, and thus, by extension, the Infinity Gauntlet. While the Stones Izuku created are powerful as far as My Hero Academia goes, being the crystalized forms of six different amalgamations of Quirks, they're still not the physical manifestations of The Powers That Be that make up the very fabric of existence like they are in the comics and the movies. Hence, using the Gauntlet with all six stones will not allow Izuku do something on an omnipresent scale, like wipe out half of all life in the universe. Although, his finger snap does still pack one heck of a punch, as demonstrated when Izuku first dons the guantlet, with Word of God going as far as to call it one of Izuku's ultimate attacks. | |

Even Evil Can Be Loved: Despite all his crimes, Izuku is still deeply loved by his mother; when they meet again in Chapter 23, Inko still decides to support him despite disapproving the nature of his actions. Even after being exposed as a villain, Ochako clearly still cared about (if not loved) Izuku and wished to redeem him. Ultimately, these lingering feelings are part of what drives her to his side after her expulsion from U.A. | |

Fake Ultimate Hero: Izuku accuses All Might of being one, and makes very compelling arguments. Ultimately, however, it's zig-zagged; while All Might is the greatest hero in the world, the Showy Invincible Hero image he projects is something not even he can live up to, and that makes his faults and failures all the more noticeable. | |

A God Am I: Once Izuku completes the Infinity Gauntlet, its power goes to his head. He decides that he is more than a hero. He is a being that shapes the world by will and design, and such a being is properly called a "god". Despite the gauntlet's power, he is still a quirkless human, and pride later becomes his Fatal Flaw. | |

Ochako and Shoto. In canon, both are Hero Course students intent on becoming legitimate heroes, and while they have their own personal hangups, they remain on the straight and narrow the entire time. Here? After she's made into The Scapegoat, Ochako fully subscribes to Izuku's ideals and becomes one of his leading agents, whereas Shoto is convinced to join him after Izuku brings Endeavor down. The two both believe Izuku can legitimately change the world and are willing to entertain his less than savory methods if need be. | |

Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Izuku and Ochako share a lot from the moment they meet. Ochako immediately develops a crush on him upon their first meeting, and when he's exposed, she seeks him out only so she could talk him out of his goals. Izuku, in turn, has a clear soft spot for her and deliberately avoids harming her when they finally face off in battle, privately admitting to himself that the thought of hurting her leaves a bad taste in his mouth. He even goes as far as to heal a head injury she suffered while still fighting her and her friends. Compare this to Himiko, his other potential "love interest", who he barely tolerates, only doing so because of how useful she is. | |

Corrupt Bureaucrat: The Hero Public Safety Commission, who seemed to be more concerned with protecting heroes and their image than the public they're supposed to be serving. After Izuku establishes the Hero Regulation Department, a lot of their abuses of power come to light. Among which include: Endeavor. Just Endeavor in general. Izuku's attempts to ban hero merchandise are constantly rejected by politicians. It's enough for him to suspect that many of them are in bed with some of the merchandising companies. Tensei Iida was offered an exoskeleton that would help him regain the ability to walk. However, the technology is expensive even for his family, and the Commission rejected his request for financial aid — because it wasn't advanced enough to allow him be a hero again. They would then later use that money to pay off business owners after the aforementioned Endeavor caused massive amounts of collateral damage during a villain fight. That one is enough for Tenya to throw in his lot with Izuku, albeit as a mole for U.A.. | |

Keeping the Enemy Close | |
Apotheosis (MHA) (Fanfic) / int_df6f7cc9 | comment |
Keeping the Enemy Close: This is the real reason why Katsuki was spared expulsion, at least for Nedzu. His Quirk and bad temperament made him a risk for villainy, which is why they expelled Ochako in his place — which backfired when she made a Face–Heel Turn anyway. This is also implied to be the reason why the Hero Commission covered for Endeavor so much. On top of his great work rate (more completed cases than All Might), his obsession with being the best could translate to villainy if they ended his hero career. Combined with his destructive Quirk and All Might's declining power and rising age, a Face–Heel Turn would be a recipe for disaster. Izuku only managed to avoid that by taking Endeavor's Quirk. The reason why the Prime Minister is willing to put Izuku in a position of power because he is far too dangerous to be on the villains' side and the only person who can keep the villains in line. | |

Pet the Dog: Izuku has several, which is why All Might is convinced that he can still be redeemed. He saves Tenya from Stain. Mitigated by how he allowed Stain to kill Native afterwards. When encountering Ochako, he originally planned on knocking her out with gas to steal a sample of her blood. After learning about her reasons for becoming a hero, however, he backs out of it at the last second and instead sends Himiko to get a sample during the attack at the Training Camp. In chapter 10, he gives Mei Hatsume a front-row seat to his expo after hearing she couldn't get a seat. He also gave her constructive criticism on how to do better and a motivational speech when she was feeling down. He saves Kota from Muscular, like in canon. This is arguably even more selfless than in canon, as he had never met Kota before and did it anyway. Izuku makes frequent visits and donations to organizations for quirkless and abused children. Overlaps with Papa Wolf, as he threatens Bakugou that should the latter ever harm the children in any fashion, he'll take his quirk away, law be damned. | |
