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.

A.N. — We're back to birthdays, and back to Class 1-A. This guy tends to fade into the background for me, but his one-word named quirk is actually pretty versatile and unique (for the BnHA world, anyway). Happy birthday, Hanta Sero! I think you can go far.

Tape always felt like a temporary solution, never a permanent fix. Hanta wondered if his hero career would have a similar staying power.

Spiderman had lived on till the age of quirks; Hanta recognized he was just a less marketable version of the web-slinger. But he could still hold Peter Parker up as an inspiration. After all, friendly was in Spiderman's nickname, and Hanta had that in spades!

Ability, though, trumped marketability for heroes. And Hanta's grades trended near the bottom. Tape was great for pulling him up, however. Hanta had to rely on it to come through again.
