One possible story could be Izuku proving himself in combat training without a quirk. He could use his intelligence and strategic thinking to outwit his classmates with quirks. For example, he might study their weaknesses in advance and set up elaborate traps during the training exercises.
Izuku could develop his own unique fighting style. He combines his knowledge of hero strategies and his physical abilities. Maybe he invents gadgets like Batman, which give him an edge in battles against quirk - users. This would make him stand out as a badass hero in the fanfiction world.
One great 'My Hero Academia' quirkless badass fanfiction is 'The Quirkless Prodigy'. In this story, the main character uses their intelligence, martial arts skills, and sheer determination to rival the quirk - having heroes. It's really inspiring to see how they overcome the odds in a world that seems to be all about quirks.
I really like the fanfic 'Izuku: The Quirkless Hero'. In this story, Izuku forms a special bond with some of the underdog characters. They work together to create a new style of heroics that doesn't rely on quirks. It also explores his relationship with All Might in a different light, as All Might becomes more of a mentor in non - quirk - related areas.
One great fanfic in this genre is 'Quirkless in a Quirked World'. It really delves into how Izuku, being quirkless like Saitama in OPM (in the sense of starting from a disadvantaged state), overcomes challenges. The story shows his determination and how he adapts Saitama - like training methods to become a great hero in the My Hero Academia universe.
Unique skills and strategies can also make it stand out. In some fanfics, the quirkless character might be a master of stealth or a brilliant tactician. They use these non - quirk abilities to outwit their opponents. It gives a fresh perspective on the 'My Hero Academia' world, as we usually see quirks as the main source of power.
Well, it's about defying expectations. In a world where quirks are everything, Izuku being quirkless but still aiming to be a hero is really interesting. His character development in these fanfictions often shows him finding his own unique path. For example, he might focus on his academic knowledge or his physical training in ways that those with quirks don't need to. And that makes for a really engaging story.
One common theme is Izuku's power growth. In many of these fanfictions, he becomes even more powerful and badass in unique ways compared to the original story. Another theme is his relationships, like his friendships or rivalries. For example, his relationship with Bakugo might be explored differently, showing how his badass side affects it.
The quirkless Izuku in fanfiction with OPM elements is a different beast compared to his canon self. Canon Izuku is full of hope and admiration for heroes. In fanfic, he may start off the same but as he trains like Saitama, he could become more focused on his own power and less on the hero image. His fighting style might also be more straightforward and brutal, like Saitama's. He might not care as much about the flashy moves and hero rankings, but more about being able to defeat any villain in his path.
The storyline could be about a quirkless cop who overcomes the odds. In a world full of quirks, he might use his wits and training. He could be solving crimes that are related to quirk - using villains. His journey could show that you don't need a quirk to be a hero.
