In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

96. Giant Palm (USJ villain)

A.N. — This month is gonna have three USJ villains, 'cause there's still two dozen left in my list. Plus, April doesn't have that many canon birthdays left now that I got through the logjam on the 4th (and most of the remaining April birthdays are heroes/hero students). So, here another unfortunate underling.

96. Giant Palm (USJ villain)

Giant Palm had charged the reinforcements UA had sent, his namesake appendages at the ready. If he'd bothered to do any research on his possible opponents, though, those big mitts would've been clamped tightly over his ears. Instead, Giant Palm had the indignity of having the perfect counter for Present Mic's quirk yet still getting taken out by it with one deafening shout.

He wasn't physically beaten up, but Giant Palm was a mental wreck over his defeat. He'd lasted longer than many of his counterparts but still crumpled under pressure. Now arrested, Giant Palm had never felt so small.
