You know what? There’s a version of My Hero Academia out there in another dimension, locked deep within the darkest confines of the multiverse, where Midoriya never got his Quirk.

I won’t lie: there’s a part of me that wouldn’t mind seeing that story play out. Maybe have Midoriya enroll in U.A. anyway in the support class? Have him develop gear for heroes (in-training or otherwise) while providing support as their mission control? Let him find ways to build armor/equipment that simulates useful battle Quirks? Or -- and here’s the real kicker -- have him team up with Bakugou so at least one of them can make it to the top. Bakugou’s got the talent and power, but Midoriya assists and conditions him so that the fire in his belly gets directed instead of scattered in all directions. An uneasy alliance, sure, but a BEST MATCH when the two truly learn to work as a team.
