Once our young "hero" was four, he had this thought.
'All people are not born equal, some are born rich, others poor. I am without power, but my best friend is born with explosions at his fingertips.'
A young boy with dark green hair and a scrawny body was lying on the ground of a playground, black scuff marks covering his face and white tee shirt. His eyes were filled with tears, and he was covered in bruises. This boy is Izuku Midoriya. He was born without a Quirk, a mutation that about 80% of the population has. It's a special power, like you would see from the superheroes from comics in the early 2000s. Izuku, however, was born without one. In fact he is an even rarer case where both of his parents have Quirks, but neither of them were passed onto him. His mother had telekinesis of small objects, but they can only move towards her. His father can breathe fire, much like a dragon. This boy no longer goes by his own name at school, and is now stuck being Deku, meaning useless. Everyday he would come home, he would have a different injury from his once called friend, Katsuki Bakugo. He was born with the ability to create explosions in his hands, using his own sweat which had nitroglycerin like properties.
Izuku had spent his life looking up to heroes. All he had wanted up until the beginning of middle school was to be a hero, but every single person telling him it was impossible for someone without a Quirk to be a hero had worn down his mentality. He no longer had the passion for it. He started to look through old comics he could find online, as well as current heroes for hope. He saw heroes like Iron Man from the Marvel universe as impossible. There was no way to make a suit like that today, and even then where would he find the money. He had turned to Spider-Man another from marvel. Although his powers, mind for the super strength, were bland but what made him impressive was that he had created a way of moving throughout the city with ease. Web-shooters, that shot a sticky substance stronger than steel fiber wire by thousands of times, and dissolved after a few hours. Deku thought it was amazing. A kid built something that could change the world. Soon after middle school had started he heard about a Pro-Hero without a combat Quirk. He was called Eraserhead. After some research Deku had found out that combat wise, all his Quirk did was put them on a level playing field, by turning theirs off. He fought with a hyper tough carbon fiber scarf, and his own athletics. Throughout Middle school Deku looked up to him, and started to think, 'why can't I be a genius? I mean it would take time, then I would need money. Most heroes rely on their powers, so I will rely on my brain and brawn.'
Although it would be possible for Deku to eventually be able to be a hero, like he had thought nothing about it would be cheap, plus he would also need the time to study. So he made a plan. He wouldn't be able to get anywhere near enough money with a job he would be able to get, so the easy answer is crime. Of course he would have to sell out his knowledge on heroes, and after learning programming and hardware be able to get into facilities with ease. 'Chemistry may also help with that.' He thought to himself. So he made a plan. It followed up all the way to the end of University. What he would study, what kinds of things he would try to make, when he would try to get his own lab, when he would start villain work, everything. Once he wrote it down, he committed it to memory and burned it. He couldn't leave any evidence. The next day he went into the kitchen for breakfast.
"Mom, would it be possible for me to get an allowance? I want to buy some books on more advanced subjects then school is teaching me!" The young twelve year old boy begged his mother with puppy dog eyes.
"Well I guess you could, but don't waste the money okay?" His mother replies sheepishly. Inko Midoryia had never really been the outgoing type, but once her only son's dream was crushed, she started to recede back a bit herself. She became more shy and introverted, even going from a slim and fit body to letting herself go to the point where even her face was rounder. She shared the same green hair and eyes as her son. If Deku kept growing at the same rate he would easily be taller than her.
Part one of the plan was a success.
