History Fanfic / InFamousHeroAcademia

* FamedInStory: Cole [=MacGrath=] and Delsin Rowe are both recognized as major influences behind the present day hero society that now exists, with Cole being seen as the "father" of Pro Heroes and Delsin Rowe being an influential figure for Pro-Quirk advocate movements. Outside of those two, Zeke Dunbar also became a leading figure for people accepting "Conduits," with his contributions being highly valued to the point where his work is thought to be the reason why the term "Conduit" ultimately began to fade out of use.
* FusionFic: The worlds of ''[=inFAMOUS=]'' and ''My Hero Academia'' are one of the same here. The events of the first two games and ''Second Son'' took place when Quirks first began to appear, with Cole's being one of the first to appear in the public eye. "Conduit" was also a derogatory term for Quirk-users back then since society didn't understand why people were suddenly developing superpowers all of a sudden. By the events of ''My Hero Academia'', society has embraced Conduits for what they were, since they now make-up eighty percent of the world's population.

** The first villain that All For One and [[spoiler:Kessler]] sent to "test" Izuku is Urabumi Kiboshi. Her Quirk is "Living Tar", a transformation-type Quirk that allows her to turn into tar that can invade people's bodies and turn them into {{Meat Puppet}}s. Her powers, the fact that said powers were activated by the Ray Sphere's explosion and her red hoodie are all a reference to Sasha, the first ArcVillain from the first ''[=inFAMOUS=]'' game.

* SuperEmpowering: Individuals who were nearby when the Ray Sphere activated or come into contact with Blast Shards receive this treatment in two different flavors: Those who were caught in the Ray Sphere's blast radius either gain powers they never had before or their Quirk receives a massive boost in power. Anyone who absorbs the energy of a Blast Shard can increase their powers as well, but is weaker in the empowering department than the Ray Sphere. David Shield speculates that if someone like Mt. Lady came into contact with a Blast Shard, she would be able to potentially either increase in size ''or shrink'' as an example of this.

* {{Revenge}}: In the past, Urabumi fought a "burnt bastard", implied to be Dabi, and has since sworn she'll kill him.

** It's even the title of the first chapter. Izuku's story is similar to Cole's journey in ''[=inFAMOUS=]'', the events of which happened in the distant past when Quirks began to manifest in humanity. [[spoiler:As it turns out, it was orchestrated by All For One and Kessler, much like how the original Kessler orchestrated for Cole to get the Ray Sphere and cause the original Blast]].

* WhamLine: Issue #6 has the man responsible for the Blast give his name to All For One, and it is a ''very'' familiar one.

* {{Revenge}}: In the past, Urabumi fought a "burnt bastard", implied to be Dabi, and has since sworn she'll kill him

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Kessler]] incapacitated Aizawa with a single lightning blast.

* ArcWelding: On account of the story being a FusionFic. The setting of ''My Hero Academia'' is the world of ''[=inFAMOUS=]'' several decades after the events of Cole and Delsin's adventures, which was set during the days when Quirks first began to manifest in the world.

** It's even the title of the first chapter. Izuku's story is similar to Cole's journey in ''[=inFAMOUS=]'', the events of which happened in the distant past when Quirks began to manifest in humanity. [[spoiler:As it turns out, it was orchestrated by All For One and his unknown associate, much like how Kessler orchestrated for Cole to get the Ray Sphere and cause the original Blast]].
