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.

155. Juzo Moashi (Centipeder)

A.N. — June and July both have over half their days filled by canon birthdays. Yet, June for some reason feels a bit less crowded... probably because the month doesn't start off with a wave of them like July does. But June 4 is Centipeder's birthday, so happy b-day to Juzo Moashi.

155. Juzo Moashi/Centipeder

Juzo Moashi thought the role of sidekick was his ceiling. His snazzy suit couldn't hide his very obvious centipede features. With a mutation like that, his popularity was rather severely capped. Even Juzo's meticulous manners couldn't compensate for the visceral disgust some people felt at the mere sight of him.

But then his boss, Sir Nighteye, died in the line of duty. And instead of the agency passing to the outgoing (and easy on the eyes) Bubble Girl, Centipeder was placed in charge. Juzo kept the sidekick mentality, though, as both motivation and a reminder to not artificially limit himself.
