Izuku Midoriya: The Copycat Hero

by Dragonsmith42

Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless, or so he thought. As he grew up there were a few instances where he seemed to use a quirk, but it was never the same one. What exactly is his power, and can he learn to control it to fulfill his dream to become a hero? (A few OCs as fairly minor characters)

1. Chapter 1: Origin Part 1

Hello everyone, and welcome to my first ever fanfiction. I know chapter one is very short, I promise, the other chapters will all be much longer, especially once we actually get to UA.

"Why're you being so mean? You're making him cry Kacchan!"

The small green haired child stood between three boys and their victim, who was on the ground covering his head and crying.

"If you keep on hurting him, I'll stop you myself" despite his words the boy was shaking, clearly terrified of the bullies.

One of them took a step forward, the blonde Katsuki Bakugou smirked as he mocked Midoriya.

"You want to pretend to be a hero? You don't stand a chance without a quirk." Young Bakugou punched his fist into his palm making a small explosion.

Midoriya closed his eyes and raised his hands, bracing for impact as the bullies charged at him. A small explosion knocked him over, he instinctively covered his face as a fist flew at him, by some luck he managed to block it. He felt a large amount of heat build up by his hand and another explosion blew him back into the ground, but not as hard as he expected.

"Owwww" a voice groaned several feet away.

There was a stunned silence, even the boy Midoriya has protecting stopped crying.

"Bakugo are you okay?"

Midoriya slowly opened his eyes to see Bakugou several feet away, a hole burned in the center of his shirt, he looked at himself realizing he was unharmed except for smoke coming from his own hand.

"What the hell Deku? That my quirk" Bakugou slowly stood up, the anger in his eyes replaced with fear.

Midoriya let out the largest grin he had in a long time as realization dawned on him "I have a quirk" he said to himself. He started jumping up and down trying to contain his excitement "I have a quirk!"

Midoriya held his hand out and tried to make another explosion, but nothing happened. He concentrated on the heat he felt earlier, but his previously smoking hand returned to normal.

"You think you can just use my power on me Deku?" Bakugou screamed as he charged forward. Izuku tried one more time to make an explosion before all he felt was pain. Bakugou knocked him over and blasted him over and over, as his vision began to fade Izuku saw the child he was protecting run away.

At least I was able to save someone. Midoriya thought to himself as he slipped into unconsciousness.
