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.

137. Steel Bulwark (USJ villain)

A.N. — It's been a week since I wrote a villain, so it's about time I got back to the underworld. This USJ underling happens to tie into the other one featured so far this month. Unfortunately for him, he also featured in Aizawa's most badass (IMO) moment.

137. Steel Bulwark (USJ villain)

Steel Bulwark was seen as a brute force specialist. He actually viewed himself as a schemer primarily.

The guile started with what he chose to call his quirk. It was listed as Body Morph, when in reality all it did was give him an extra set of arms. If his foes wanted to assume he could do more than that, he let them and exploited their overconfidence.

At the USJ, though, Steel Bulwark disregarded his own advice. Charging in without forethought, sure in his un-erasable quirk, Eraserhead made him eat humble pie. It tasted of blood, dirt, and defeat.
