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.

128. Muscle Man (USJ villain)

A.N. — To guest reviewer Xavior yesterday: canon, in fandom, is officially accepted source material, so canon birthdays are those the creator has revealed. And BnHA is just short for Boku no Hero Academia. Why am I using author note space to reply? 'Cause today's another USJ villain, and there's not much to hype them up.

128. Muscle Man (USJ villain)

Muscle Man fit the generic villain label in every way. His hulking physique, scuffed clothes, and metal mask all were run of the mill in the criminal underworld. Even his quirk was just a simple muscle enhancer, leading to his rather plain moniker.

What he did have working for him was anonymity.

Because he was so average, Muscle Man didn't garner much notice. He thought that alone would be enough to sneak up on Eraserhead while he was already busy with Steel Bulwark. Instead, he was dismissively kicked away, winding up buried unseen at the bottom of a defeated dogpile.
