History Fanfic / InFamousHeroAcademia

** The first villain that All For One and the associate 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.

* StarterVillain: Urabumi is this to Izuku as she's the first super-villain he faces in his journey to become a hero, [[spoiler:having been hired by All For One's hooded associate as a "test"]].

In the first generation of Quirks, superpowered individuals were met with fear, mistrust, and hatred. The world called them many things: Deviants, Meta-humans, Freaks, Monsters, Devils.

Conduits.

Generations later, and those with Quirks are revered and are now part of everyday life. If someone with powers chooses to commit evil, there will always be someone with powers who chooses to do good to fight back.

Izuku Midoriya once thought himself to be powerless, but now he stands at the center of a disaster that has awakened an incredible power within him. The power of the Patron Saint.

* AdaptationalBadass: Invoked. WordOfGod states that many characters are either stronger than their canon selves or are going to get stronger at a much faster rate, due to them either coming into contact with a Blast Shard or being within the radius of a Ray Sphere blast.

* StarterVillain: Urabumi is this to Izuku as she's the first super-villain he faces in his journey to become a hero, [[spoiler:having been hired by All For One's hooded associate]].

* {{Expy}}: Urabumi Kiboshi is one of Sasha from the first ''[=inFAMOUS=]'', having a similar appearance and abilities.

!!''inFAMOUS Hero Academia'' provides examples of:

* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: How Izuku obtained his Quirk, having just survived being at ground zero of the Blast and was severely injured in the process. According to Dr. Tsubasa, there's also a theory revolving around people in their late teens and in adulthood who awaken to their Quirks in situations of extreme stress, citing the cliché "mother gains {{super strength}} and saves her child" as a good example of this trope.

* AffluentAscetic: According to David, despite the vast wealth being the Symbol of Peace gives him, All Might rarely ever spends any of it and will often either save it for gifts (having sent Melissa Shield a car for her birthday) or just gives it away at charity events.

** It's even the title of the first chapter, Izuku's story are 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]].

[[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]].

* DemonicPossession: [ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]]. Urabumi isn't a demon or supernatural entity, but she is capable of possessing anyone who ingests her tar.

The story is written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/10384099/TheStrangerThatCameFromNowhere TheStrangerThatCameFromNowhere]], of ''Fanfic/AshenWolves'' fame.

* 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,'' society has embraced Conduits for what they were, since they now make-up eighty percent of the world's population.

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

* 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 that 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.

* AdaptationalBadass: Invoked. WordOfGod states that many characters are either stronger than their canon selves or are going to get stronger at a much faster rate.
** Izuku gains Cole's ShockAndAwe powers and WordOfGod confirms that he'll also receive One For All.
** Tomura's Decay powers are stated by All For One to be even more powerful thanks to absorbing the Blast Shards emitted by the Ray Sphere's detonation.
** Shoto is shown practicing his ice powers at a level not seen in his canon self. Not only can he emit blasts of ice, he can also control said ice when it separates from his body, such as manipulating its shape or moving it mid-air.
** Melissa Shield goes from being Quirkless to gaining Fetch's [[LightEmUp Neon powers]].
* BrutalHonesty: Sir Nighteye doesn't mince any words and bluntly tells Izuku that the package he was carrying was the bomb that caused the Blast, not caring how this affected the poor kid.
* CompositeCharacter:
** Izuku gets elements of Cole, not only gaining his powers, but also worked as a bike courier prior to gaining them.

* SuperEmpowering: Anyone who comes into contact with Blast Shards or a Ray Sphere either gains powers of their own or gets powers they already had amplified immensely. David Shield speculates that if someone like Mt. Lady came into contact with a Blast Shard, she'd be able to either potentially alter her size at will as an example of this.
