Izuku made it a fact to know everything and anything about all heroes and villains he saw. Ever since he was little he started filling notebooks upon notebooks with information. Bakugo always told him it was dumb and creepy but that didn't phase the green haired boy as he continued to take notes about heros. Their strengths, their weaknesses, their weapons, sometimes he even sketched a picture of them and while not the best drawer ever you could usually tell who the suit belonged to. But on the last day of middle school year Bakugo just laughed at Izuku before burning the notebooks he had with him in front of the blonde's friends.
While Izuku had more, to lose that much hard work in one swift blow was like a hard punch to the gut from reality to remind Izuku that he'd never amount to anything and shouldn't bother with heroes...
But then Izuku actually became a hero. He inherited One For All from All Might allowing him to get into UA, the best heroing school in the country! Surrounded by all these powerful new, unique classmates Izuku found himself inspired as he returned to old habits of taking notes about everyone around him and their powers.
'Mina Ashido
Quirk: Acid
Stengths: Technique and speed.
Weaknesses: Anything school related, water areas.
Additional Notes: Pink, not quirk related and a good dancer.'
'Denki Kaminari
Quirk: Electricity
Strengths: Power
Weaknesses: Seems to go brain dead after all large attacks. Not that bright. Water areas. Junk food. Possibly Jiro?
Additional Notes: Looks similar to old D class hero and will eat any food left out.'
The list went on and on as Izuku tried to detail all of his classmates and teachers in great detail so he could learn from them. His most detailed page was was the one for All Might. He felt nervous whenever he held the notebook because of the thought that somebody might see it's content so it was always within eye sight and/or on Izuku at all times. Sometimes he thought about ripping the book to shreds because it would be so much easier but Izuku found no matter how hard he tried to, he couldn't bring himself to get rid of the notebook. So instead he would take care of it, constantly adding new notes everyday when he could.
Today Izuku and the rest of class 1-A had gone to the mall to finish to getting supplies for the upcoming trip and as the group wandered further in, separating in different directions Izuku found himself with his notebook out as he continued drawing figures for the new villains entries he added just after the USJ incident. Right now he was in the process of drawing the creepy man that was covered in hands who almost killed Aizawa and Tsuyu. Izuku had never been good at drawing hands, making them disportionately larger than the rest of the body making it slightly harder. He didn't notice the figure that approached behind as an arm slung around his neck with fingers just touching his neck as he heard an unfortunately familiar voice speak up.
"Not bad, you almost captured my likeness perfectly."
