My Hero Academia: Exchange Student-Teachers

Hey, Everyone! I only recently discovered MHA, and am up-to-date with the dubbed episodes on Toonami, and recently watched the MHA "Two Heroes" movie.

I'm opening my story on the second day of classes, when All Might holds the combat exercise for Class 1-A. Duncan Rosenblatt('healing-factor' quirk from his mother, and firebreathing kaiju physiology from his father; Belloc the Kaiju King) and his adopted brother Ken Rogers(quirkless, martial-artist, swordsman, detective, techno-geek), who both already have their provisional hero licenses, have come to UA from the United States to help teach, while also finishing their final few semesters of schooling. In the greater world at large, during the UA entrance Exams; the World Contest of Champions took place. It's kinda like the UA Sports Festival, but for the Pro Heroes and upper-tier provisional heroes of the world. This event will be mentioned in a later chapter.

In this story, I will also be adding heroes and villains that get their 'powers' from technology/weapons, magick, or 'accidental quirk-creation'(mutations similar to Spider-Man or the Fantastic Four); as well as androids and cyborgs.

Chapter 1: The New Student-Teachers

"How are you not geeking out as bad as I am, Bro?", Kenny asked. He was wearing a more 'relaxed' version of his costume, looking more like ordinary clothes, only light armor, less weapons and tech. He did still wear his utility-belt, one of his wrist holo-computers, and carried the katana that Duncan forged for him all covered by his long black duster over his red hoodie. "I mean, we're gonna be teaching a combat class with All Might today!"

"Why should I, Kenny?", Duncan smirked, chuckling at his best friend and brother, as he checked his UA campus map again before putting it back in the inside pocket of his black crocodile-skin duster. Under this he wore his sleeveless biker jacket, black-camo cargo pants with a studded belt, and his Velcro-strapped sandals. Even in his relaxed 'base' form, his desert-orange scales and emerald reptilian-slit eyes were obvious. Closer inspection would see the abbreviated upper and lower double-fangs in his mouth, and the tips of all 20 of his retracted claws. His spiky, long, golden hair was streaked and tipped with red high-lights and tied into a bushy ponytail. "You're doing more than enough 'geeking' for both of us. And we have Class 1-A for an hour of martial arts before we join All Might at one of the training zones for a combat training exercise."

"Yeah, I know. But still, it's awesome!", Kenny beamed. Like pretty much everyone of their generation, they'd both grown up with a love and respect for Heroes, especially the World's Number 1 Hero: All Might, and the Top Hero of America: Major Liberty. Both boys had dreamed of becoming heroes themselves since they were little. "You got to meet him face to face 10 years ago, you lucky lizard!"

"It's not my fault it was years before you and I even met in junior high", Duncan grinned. "I met him through my Mom and MEGTAF. All Might is the only human that my Dad truly respects….besides Mom, that is."

"Really?! How….?"

"They had an altercation once that turned out to be a misunderstanding", Duncan explained with a chuckle. "All Might smashed with everything he had and actually managed to knock out one of Dad's teeth. Of course, it broke All Might's hand, too! It took days for my dad to grow back a new tooth. Still, All Might's courage and strength impressed him. Together not long after, All Might helped my Dad put down a group of rogue kaiju that were about to destroy Hoover Dam and attack Las Vegas. But it was what All Might said to me when we met afterward that made me so determined to become a hero one day."

"What did he say?", Kenny asked.

xXx

(flashback, the Rosenblatt residence outside Las Vegas, Nevada)

Duncan was moping in his room after a day of the usual peer torment at school. Troy and his gang of followers were relentless. He wanted to fight back, but knew how favoritism in their school leaned toward his bully due to Troy's quirk clearly marking him for 'greatness' as a future Pro Hero.

Hmm, Mom should be home from MEGTAF by no…

"Duncan!", Margaret called out cheerfully from the living room as she arrived home. "Could you come out here, please? We have a special visitor."

"Ok, Mom, Just a sec", He replied loud enough to be heard. He trudged down the hall to the living room. "Hi, Mom. So who is…..? Whooooaaaahhh!"

"I. Am. HERE!", All Might announced loudly, flashing his smile to the dumbfounded youth while Margaret grinned. "Ha-Ha! You must be Duncan, the young kaiju Prince! Your mother Margaret tells me that you have an impressive power-set from your two quirks. I would consider it an honor to fight for Peace and Justice by your side as heroes one day!"

"I-I want to be a hero, but I'm a monster. They'll never let a monster be a hero", 11 y/o Duncan said dejectedly once he found his voice, echoing the taunts of his bullies.

"You're no more a monster than I am, Duncan", All Might said with a smile, ruffling the boy's red-streaked, spiky golden hair. "You're special in ways you aren't even aware of yet. When your parents fell in love and had you, it ended the Human/Kaiju War that would have destroyed the whole world if it had continued. And one day, you will rule the kaiju as the new king, and keep the peace. Until then, you could easily become one of the most powerful and inspiring heroes of all! I believe in you! Just as both your parents do!"

(end flashback)

"Whoa", Kenny said. "You never told me that story before."

"Yeah, he really inspired me that day, and kinda became my adopted uncle", Duncan replied. "I was determined to become a hero after that, and decided my bullies could go screw themselves sideways with Tabasco lube. I also started my 3-strike rule; I'd give them 2 chances with warnings to realize they were being stupid before I would hurt them…..a little. Most were smart enough to catch on and back off after the first bruises. If not, then they got the message with the broken bones from the next strike-out. And I stepped up to protect their other victims, too."

"Like me when you first came to my school. I guess that's why after my dad was killed and your mom adopted me, you kinda took me under your wing", Kenny nodded. "I still can't believe we were sent here for the S-T exchange program, bro! Japan is awesome! Well, aside from that brawl we got into with that steroidal villain right after we arrived."

"I know, right?! But we're lucky Lady Lingo used her quirk to instantly teach us the language, though", Duncan chuckled. "From what I've heard, Japanese is really hard to learn the old-fashioned way."

"Lucky. Yeah, you can say that again", Kenny blushed dreamily, touching his lips as he remembered Isabell – "Lady Lingo" – kissing him. His childhood friend and first crush was not only an amazing kisser, but she had a really useful quirk. She can instantly learn languages and instantly pass along that knowledge through the act of kissing. Thanks to her Kenny, Duncan, and few other friends were fluently conversational in French, Spanish, Hawiian Islander, Tahitian, German, Nigerian, Dutch, Nordic, Italian, Swahili, Egyptian(modern and ancient), 3 Chinese dialect, Thai, Portugese, Cherokee, Apache, Comanche, Iraquoi, Souix, Paiyute, and Japanese.

Isabell and Kenny tried dating during the time Duncan was with Jenna Heldengruber(Hero Name: Mirage, Quirk: Illusion), but discovered they were better off just being friends. However, the break up between Duncan and Jenna was painful to watch and had hurt the half-kaiju deeply. That was why Kenny, Margaret and 'Uncles' All Might and Major Victory figured the Student-Teacher Exchange Program for upper-classmen at Pacific Hero High might help get him out of his depressed funk by getting him completely away from Jenna and that whole situation.

"Here we are", Duncan announced when they reached the designated gymnasium and reached for the door. "Heads-up, Uncle Might and Mr. Aizawa warned me there might be a few attitudes that need adjustments."

"Got it", Kenny nodded as he stepped through the open door ahead of Duncan. "And after looking at all their files, I think we both one in particular. Reminds me of Troy."

"I know, right?", Duncan chuckled.

Class 1-A was lined up, with class-rep Tenya Iida front and center, all wearing standard UA track suits and most doing stretches, push-ups, sit-ups, or jumping-jacks to warm-up.

"Hello, class", Duncan smiled. "I'm Duncan Rosenblatt, and this is Ken Rogers ("Hey."). We're the newest students and teaching assistants of UA, here on the international exchange program for our senior year."

"We know you were expecting a training exercise with All Might today", Kenny added. "But he asked us to introduce ourselves and help you warm up with an hour of martial arts training before putting on your new costumes for the Combat exercise with him in one of the training areas."

"Whoah!", a green-haired boy exclaimed excitedly. "I-I-I know you two! You're Kaiju Prince and Tech-Knight! The Number Six and Seven Heroes in America! But I thought you two were already Pros, not still in school?"

"Yes and no, Midoria, is it?", Duncan smiled, getting a nod from the boy and thought to himself, 'So this is the boy Uncle Might chose as his successor. I see …..potential'. "We earned our Provisional Hero Licenses in our first year, and ever since we've gotten a lot of experience working with Pro Heroes and on our own, mostly working together as partners. Our talents compliment each other."

"But we fell a bit behind academically", Kenny continued. "So we volunteered for the exchange program to do our final year of classes here both as students and teaching assistants to get credit for three semesters and graduate. So technically, we're third-year students who also help teach all four underclassmen hero classes; 2-A, 2-B, 1-B, and you guys here in 1-A. We also often step-up to assist the teachers in our own class. You have a question?"

"Yes, Sirs!", Iida snapped out with his usual, military-like discipline and control. "Since you are both from America, I do not know as much about either of you as Midoria apparently does. If you don't mind me asking, what are your quirks?"

"We don't mind at all", Duncan smiled. "From my mother I got my 'healing factor'. I'm already really difficult to injure, but if it happens I heal really fast, almost instantly, in fact. And afterward I can't be hurt by an attack of the same combination of type and power-level. It also means that I'm immune to poisons and I never get sick. Needless to say, the only time Recovery Girl will be seeing me is as a visitor*chuckle!*. The rest of my powers(he shifted into 'full-kaiju' form; armor-scales, claws, and fangs more prominent, horn-like spikes emerging from his elbows, shoulders, and knees, wings and tail emerging, and a 'crown' of mini-horns grown along the hairline of his forehead; the full effect making the class gasp.) aren't from a quirk, they're "normal" traits I inherited from my dad; Belloc."

"WHAT?!", the entire class yelled in shock. Belloc was the King of the Kaiju! THE most powerful monster on Earth! So Duncan's hero-name was literally true! No wonder he's so powerful! The class was still reeling from this when Kenny spoke up.

"As for me, it's real easy", he grinned while Duncan returned to his base-form. "I don't have a quirk. I'm quirkless. I earned my position and title through hard-work, skills, and intelligence. I'm a 3rd degree black belt in ninjitsu and kung fu, an escape artist, have a degree in criminology and profiling, expert swordsman, hacker, researcher, detective, and master of what you call 'support items' here in Japan." On that last part he tapped his utility-belt. "We just call them 'gear' in the States."

The entire class was shocked silent. None of them had ever heard of a quirkless hero before! Knowing what was coming next, Izuku Midoria nervously began mentally counting down; 3…2…1…

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?! SOME KIND OF JOKE?!", Katsuki Bakugou yelled from where he was leaning against the padded back wall. "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME, RIGHT?! THERE AIN'T NO WAY A QUIRKLESS LOSER COULD EVEN GET INTO HERO SCHOOL, LET ALONE BECOME A HERO! NO FRIGGIN' WAY!"

"Ah, you must be, Bakugou", Kenny smirked. "We read the files and records on all of you, and yours did say you had an attitude like pig-vomit poured over toxic radioactive sludge set on fire; a narcissist with breath-taking anger issues always demanding immediate respect and admiration from everyone around you, and throwing a tantrum when you don't get it because you're thoroughly convinced that anyone that doesn't see and fawn over your 'awesomeness' are in the wrong because you're totally oblivious to the fact that those things have to be earned among peers. Your profile was a simple puzzle I easily figured out while reading your file over my first cup of coffee this morning."

Kanimari suddenly covered his mouth in a futile attempt to stifle his laughter, while Izuku sweatdropped. This quirkless TA had pegged Bakugou perfectly. No one could argue with the truth, except….

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME, YOU QUIRKLESS LOSER?!", Bakugou snarled as he began pushing himself away from the wall, only to see something shiny flash toward him and *thunk!* heavily into the wall less than an inch from his left ear. He turned his head slightly to look and saw that it was a four-pointed 'wave' throwing-star. And it wasn't just some cheap, sheet-metal knock-off either. It was a heavy-gauge, forged stainless steel shuriken nearly a quarter-inch thick. The inward-curving edge of each point was flat like the back of a knife-blade, while the point and outer-edge of each point was razor-sharp; the whole thing designed to fly straight over long-distance and penetrate deep if thrown one way, and to cut if thrown the other way.

Momentarily stunned by the fact that it had been mere inches away from piercing his forehead then grinding his teeth with a growl, Bakugou found his voice and rage when he turned back to yell some more, only to find himself looking into hard eyes of Duncan, mere inches from being nose-to-nose with him. How did he move so fast?!

"Take your place in line with your fellow students and shut. UP!", the scaly blonde ordered in a soft yet unyieldingly firm tone. Bakugou scoffed and did as he was told. Duncan pulled out the star and handed it back to Kenny. "Now, we're going to teach you some hand-to-hand combat skills that could save your life, especially if your quirk is somehow hindered, out-of-commission, or otherwise useless or un-useable in the situation. Remember, Mr. Aizawa may not be the only one in the world with a quirk like his. So, you will be training without using your quirks."

"This is stupid", Bakugou scoffed. "With my quirk, I can destroy anybody before they could mess with it!"

"You really think so?", Duncan snickered, smirking to Kenny. "Tell you what. If you can prove that in a match using your quirk right now, then you can just chill out with a cold Gatorade and watch until it's time to meet All Might. If not, then you get the dubious honor of being today's demo dummy. Or, you can just shut up and take the class. What'll it be?"

"Aw yeah! You're goin' down, lizard-lips!", the loud-mouth sneered as the rest of the class spread out into a circle to form a 'ring' in the center of the padded floor, where he stood in the center taunting Duncan with a vicious grin on his face.

"Oh, you're not fighting me, Bakugou", Duncan smirked, then turned to his 'bro'. "Ken, if you would be so kind?"

"Of course, Bro", Ken smirked, shedding his duster and entering the ring with only his utility-belt and sheathed sword over his hoodie, cargo-pants, and steel-toed boots.

"What is this, a joke?!", the explosive boy scoffed. "This quirkless punk don't stand a chance against me! He's gonna get seriously hurt!"

"Prove it, loud-mouth", Ken smiled.

"All right! Just remember you ASKED FOR IT!", Bakugou charged head-long into a frontal assault, drawing his right arm back and sparking up to deliver an explosive punch. Ken burst a smoke-bomb between them to hide his movements, then did a spinning side-step to the boy's left side and slammed his left fist and forearm against the hot-head's shoulder-blades, knocking him to a sliding face-plant on the mat! At the same time, Ken also drew his sword. Bakugou growled as he started to get up, only to be kicked over onto his back, much like he'd often done to Deku since they were kids. Ken sat on the kid's legs to immobilize him and grabbed the front of his UA track suit and pulled him up to look in his eyes.

"QUIRKLESS BASTARD! I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!", Bakugou yelled, placing his hands on Ken's torso to blast him away.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, kid", Kenny smiled. "Unless you want to lose your head, literally."

Bakugou then felt the razor-edge of the sword against the back of his neck. If he tried to use his quirk to blast Mr. Quirkless off him while the guy was holding the sword the way he was, the sword would decapitate him like the blade of a guillotine! He glared up at the smirking Kenny and refused to tap-out.

"Time!", Duncan called out, and a holo-display appeared, replayed the exchange, then displayed the time it took from beginning to the moment time was called; 9.2 seconds. The class was shocked, but none more so than Bakugou himself. There was no way a quirkless loser could possibly beat him! Yet this guy did it! Does that mean that Deku….? NO! This guy must've cheated somehow! That's the only explanation! There was no other way anybody could beat him so fast and easy, upperclassman or not! Especially without having a quirk!

"Can anyone tell me what Bakugou's first mistake was?", Duncan asked the class.

"Acting like an ass-hat with a big mouth?", Kanimari snarked.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, SPARKPLUG!", Bakugou snarled venomously at his electrified classmate.

"True, but wrong", Kenny snickered.

"Sir!", Iida piped up. "He rushed an opponent he knew nothing about!"

"Close, Iida. Anyone else?"

"He underestimated his opponent", Momo said. "He assumed his opponent was helpless without a quirk."

"Very good, Yaoyorozu", Duncan smiled. "You're half-right. His first mistake was actually two-fold. As you noted, he underestimated his opponent, but he also overestimated himself."

"WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU?! I'M THE BEST! I'M BETTER THAN ALL YOU LOSERS! I'M GONNA SURPASS ALL MIGHT! YOU'RE ALL ….!", Bakugou was totally losing his shit, with Izuku, Iida, and Kirishima holding him back.

"SHUT UP AND LISTEN, BAKUGOU!", Duncan ordered in a tone that cut right through the kid's rant, silencing him. "That's exactly what I'm talking about! You simply assumed that because you have a quirk at all, let alone your quirk, that your victory was a foregone conclusion; as if there were no way you could possibly lose. Confidence is a good quality in a hero, but over-confidence to the point of arrogance will get you killed, or worse; get innocent by-standers killed."

"Do you want that on your conscience, firecracker?", Kenny asked sternly, getting only a growl in return. "Or do you even have one under all that bluster, rage, and over-inflated pride? Remember the old saying, 'Pride go-eth before the fall'? Think about it."

"Ok, Bakugou, get over here with me", Duncan ordered, the boy grumbling as he complied. "The rest of you, pair up for sparring. I'll demonstrate with my 'volunteer' here, then you all practice the moves I show you. But take it easy on each other! This is just your first lesson. We don't want any accidents or injuries here."

"Mr. Rosenblatt", Momo called with her hand raised. "With Bakugou up there with you, we're one short."

"Very observant", he replied with a smile. "Ken? Will you please partner up with the young lady?"

"Oh! Uhmmm…Sure!", Kenny blushed, as did the lovely Momo while Mineta's eyes gushed tears of anguish like twin waterfalls that he wasn't paired with beautiful and brilliant girl. Bakugou kept grumbling under his breath that he'd rather be 'sparring' someone called 'Deku' into the ground 'where he belongs'.

"Ok. Remember, no quirks", Duncan reminded them, with an inward knowing smile for Kenny. True, the two of them were teaching this class, but they weren't much older than the students of Class 1-A. And Momo had been staring appraisingly at Kenny ever since his impressive take down of Bakugou in less than 10 seconds, something that should be impossible for someone without a quirk. The girl was "really cute" as Kenny had blushingly said last night as they went through the files of all the first-year students. Duncan knew Kenny enough to know when he was smitten.

xxXXxx

An hour later the class was boarding the bus that would take them to meet All Might at the Combat Exercise area. Bakugou growled as he attempted to hide how sore he was from serving as the demo dummy for the quirkless martial arts lesson. Duncan and Kenny were appraising the students' costumes and support items as they boarded.

"Hey, Midoria?", Duncan tapped the green-haired boy's shoulder. "Sit with me during the ride. We need to talk."

"Um…Ok, Mr…."

"Just call me 'Duncan' outside the classroom", the scaly young man smiled as they sat near the front of the bus. "And don't be so nervous. You're not in trouble. Kenny, keep an eye on the others?"

"Sure thing, Bro", he replied, walking further back on the bus.

"Thanks. Ok, Midoria", Duncan began, "to save time, I'll just tell you that All Might is like an uncle to me, so I know about his condition, All-for-One, and you."

"Really? Wow."

"I've seen the videos of your extrance exam, as well as your class yesterday. I think he chose his successor well; you have great potential and a lot of heart. But I also see your doubt and uncertainty, and I know the source", Duncan added, looking back at Bakugou, who was snarling at his other classmates. "Bullied and belittled by someone who used to be your friend for your entire childhood. Ignore him and believe in yourself. Not because Uncle Might chose you, but because you earned your spot here like everyone else. Bakugou's pride and ego are his problems, not yours. In fact, I encourage you to step-up and show everyone that you are hero, especially him."

"I know", Izuku said hesitantly. "But it's not so easy."

"I know", Duncan agreed with a reassuring smile. "My 'Kaachan' was a guy named Troy Adams. His quirk: shockwave, every bit as powerful and versatile as Bakugou's 'explosion', and an almost identical attitude. And because I was born scaly, he and his buddies messed with me from the start. And when we all got our quirks, he saw my regeneration as a free license to hurt me as much as he wanted. Then my kaiju traits began to emerge, augmented by my quirk. It wasn't too long before I was too strong and tough for him to physically hurt anymore, but the psychological damage was done, and he used it; calling me 'monster' and 'freak', saying they'd never let a thing like me be a hero. It got worse in junior high after my firebreath emerged for the first time during one of his bullying rants, burning off Troy's eyebrows.

"I thought he was right, that I was a monster; and neither my mom or dad could change my mind. Then I met All Might, the Number 1 Hero in the World, and he told me I wasn't a monster, and that I could be a great hero. I took his words to heart and applied to Pacific Hero High, the most prestigious hero school on the West Coast. Troy had also applied, confident of getting in. He did, but had an explosive meltdown when I was also accepted. 'Stealing his thunder' he called it. Then he really lost it when Kenny was also accepted, like 'how dare a monster and a quirkless loser even try to upstage the great Troy Adams'. Sound familiar?"

Izuku looked back at Bakugou, Duncan's story sounding eerily similar to his own.

"Kenny and I focused on just doing our best in our classes at PHH, while Troy was obsessed with beating us, especially me. His attitude and pride has cost him dearly. Troy fell behind us in every way, driving him more and more crazy. He's now on 'potential-villain watch' with the school and facing possible expulsion for using potentially deadly force against us in a training exercise. I was fine but Ken was badly hurt.

"Look, my point is that a rival can push you to getting better and stronger, but don't let him define who you are. You decide who and what you are, no matter what anyone else says. Remember that. And if you ever need a friend to talk to, you can come to me."

"I….I will. Thanks, Duncan."

"Any time. BT-dubs, I've seen how the backlash of your power is injuring you. Be cautious of that today and come find me during lunch tomorrow. I have some ideas that might help. Ah! We're here. There's Uncle Might."

"Ha-ha! You. Are. HERE!", All Might greeted with a smile as the bus emptied. He briefly hugged Duncan. "Young Rosenblatt! Wonderful to see you again! I'm honored to have your assistance!"

"Great to see you, Uncle Might", Duncan chuckled, then presented his friend. "Uncle Might, this is my best friend and hero-ing partner, Ken Rogers."

"Great to meet you, Sir", Ken smiled, shaking the hero's hand.

"The pleasure is all mine! Tech-Knight, the Quirkless Hero! Still a student yet already ranked Number 7 in America! Most impressive!"

xxXXxx

Later that night, at the apartment near UA that Duncan and Kenny were sharing while they were in Japan, they had just finished going over the results of All Might's combat exercise for class 1-A over some pizza("Thank goodness we found a decent pizza joint nearby that delivers!"), with Izuku Midoria among the students who impressed them the most, even if he had pushed himself too hard. Duncan was glad that the boy had taken his words to heart, stepped up, and faced his demons like a hero. Unlike the other students watching the monitors, Duncan could read lips. He knew that Midoria had put Bakugou on notice that he wouldn't be the hot-head's punching-bag anymore, that he was going to be a hero whether Bakugou liked it or not! Of course, that infuriated Bakugou, who promptly lost his shit. Duncan chuckled, remembering the look on Bakugou's face when he realized that he not only lost the exercise, but he lost it to Midoria.

After he and Kenny wrapped things up, Duncan grabbed a shower. Under the cascading water, he thought about the idea he and Kenny had come up with during their second year at PHH; a new and slightly different way for young heroes like them to go Pro that would drastically shorten the time they had to spend as a 'sidekick', while at the same time establishing an organized world-wide network of heroes, agencies, teams, and logistical support. It was a radical idea, and would likely be met with resistance. The biggest initial hurdle was financing, but his dad Belloc offered to solve that. Gods know he has nearly unlimited, untapped riches and resources at his claw-tips. And today, he and Kenny had been scouting the UA Hero-Course students for potential future members. They had seen several promising candidates in both Class 1-A and 1-B, as well as the 'Big Three' and a few other 3rd years. Tomorrow they would meet the two 2nd year classes, assisting Power-Loader teaching a "cave" Search & Rescue Exercise.

After toweling off, Duncan had just pulled on a pair of board-shorts, preparing to hit the sack early when…..

"DUNCAN! GET OUT HERE! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!", Kenny yelled from the living room. Duncan ran back out due to the urgency in Ken's voice.

"What is it?!"

"Look!", Ken urged, pointing to the TV; a news alert with a familiar, ugly mug-shot:

(….Villain Alert! The villain known as Muscular, recently captured by provisional heroes Kaiju Prince and Tech-Knight visiting from the United States, has escaped custody en-route to Tartarus! No witnesses were left alive, but evidence at the scene seems to indicate that outside accomplices aided in his escape. Notorious for his quirk granting him immense strength and his psychotic desire to torment and kill his victims, Muscular has murdered countless victims, including the Water-Hose Heroes two years ago. If you see this extremely dangerous man, call a Pro Hero or the police immediately. DO NOT APPROACH HIM! Again…!)

"Dammit!", Duncan snarled. He'd matched strength with the vicious brute not long after arriving in Japan. It was his firebreath, claws, powerful tail and ability to fly that had given him the edge to defeat the bloodthirsty 80's horror-movie cliché on steroids; allowing Kenny to then bind him for the cops. This was all kinds of bad. And worse, it looked like he had help. But who would help a maniac like Muscular? And why?

xxXXxxx

Author's notes: What do you think of my first attempt at a Firebreather/MHA crossover? Duncan is pretty much the same as he is in my "Primal Hearts" series, but I've changed Kenny quite a bit, besides the timeline of their meeting. I thought it would be fun to make him my "Batman"-type character; no powers, expert martial artist, brilliant with weapons and gear, escape-artist, and a brilliant master-detective.

As for "Lady Lingo's" quirk; yup, I totally ripped that off from Starfire and expanded it.

Would Erasurehead's quirk work on the abilities of aliens, Duncan's kaiju-powers, or powers that are magical or supernatural in nature?

Major Victory is my OC of the top hero of the USA, and he will appear in some way later. He's kind of like Captain America if you add super-strength (mid-tier level), a cape, and flight-gear.

As far as pairings, I'll be sticking pretty close to cannon. I do intend for Duncan to eventually get with Number 9-ranked Hero; Ryukyu the Dragoon Heroine. However, Uwabami the Serpent Heroine is gonna take an almost obsessive interest in him as well. Izuku with Ochako is obvious, but I am considering including Tsu(ribbit!) in a trio-relationship with them. I mean, come on! She's adorable! I'm also pairing Momo with Kenny, what do you all think? With 'Tech-Knight' being my Batman-type and Momo's quirk of making things I figured they were a perfect match. Any suggestions for more pairings, new events, or twists on cannon events with the new characters?

Just to be clear, Duncan is going to accelerate Izuku's progress and growth in using and controlling One-for-All. This, of course, is going to really piss off Bakugou even more than it did in cannon. So I pose this question to you, my readers: Should Duncan take it upon himself to shatter Bakugou's delusional arrogant pride by showing him just how NOT invincible he really is? How? By allowing the hot-head to go all out on him in a sparring match and still defeating him easily, while telling him to his face that his entire mind-set; thinking that he's just innately superior to everyone else and that the universe has just been giving him everything he deserves is actually due to the pureluck of being born with his quirk and the adults in his life as he grew up not reining him in when they should have. Hell, a lot of them actively enabled him to become an arrogant, obnoxious, hot-headed snot.

Long reviews are always welcome and appreciated! No flames, please.
