MHA: Bat to the Future: The Other Midoriya

Bat to the Future: The Other Midoriya A My Hero Academia Fanfiction Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless. So was I. The difference? While he spent his childhood crying into his pillow and writing love letters to All Might, I spent mine getting my ass kicked and learning how to return the favor. Adopted by Inko Midoriya after my mom passed, I grew up as Izuku’s louder, meaner, infinitely more attractive stepbrother. He wanted to be a hero. I just wanted people to shut the hell up about quirks and let me crack heads in peace. But the world doesn’t work that way. So I adapted. And by adapted, I mean I stared fate dead in the eyes, flipped it off, and broke the system. Literally. One dangerously impulsive, borderline illegal decision later, I unlocked something better than a quirk—a System that lets me break my own limits. My strength, speed, intelligence—it all skyrockets every time I push myself. The catch? If I ever deactivate it, I get hit with every side effect at once. So I never turn it off. Now, I’ve got stats that shouldn’t exist, skills that shouldn’t be legal, and a steel bat that’s ruined more lives than student loans. The pros hate me. The villains hate me. Bakugo really hates me. Between dodging Boom Boom Bitch’s tantrums, robbing villains of their dignity, and giving the Hero Commission stress-induced ulcers, I’m out here rewriting the rules and making an absolute mess of the system. They wanted another hero? Too bad. They got me instead.

This is a tax fraud case waiting to happen. And I’m just getting started. Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction created for free, non-commercial purposes.
