Bat to the Future: The Other Midoriya
A My Hero Academia Fanfiction

Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless. So was I.

The difference? While he spent his childhood crying into his pillow and writing love letters to All Might, I spent mine getting my ass kicked and learning how to return the favor.

Adopted by Inko Midoriya after my mom passed, I grew up as Izuku’s louder, meaner, infinitely more attractive stepbrother. He wanted to be a hero. I just wanted people to shut the hell up about quirks and let me crack heads in peace.

But the world doesn’t work that way. So I adapted.

And by adapted, I mean I stared fate dead in the eyes, flipped it off, and broke the system. Literally.

One dangerously impulsive, borderline illegal decision later, I unlocked something better than a quirk—a System that lets me break my own limits. My strength, speed, intelligence—it all skyrockets every time I push myself. The catch? If I ever deactivate it, I get hit with every side effect at once.

So I never turn it off.

Now, I’ve got stats that shouldn’t exist, skills that shouldn’t be legal, and a steel bat that’s ruined more lives than student loans. The pros hate me. The villains hate me. Bakugo really hates me.

Between dodging Boom Boom Bitch’s tantrums, robbing villains of their dignity, and giving the Hero Commission stress-induced ulcers, I’m out here rewriting the rules and making an absolute mess of the system.

They wanted another hero? Too bad.

They got me instead.

 Overpowered MC (Through Loopholes)( Check)
 Quirkless But Better (Check)
 Comedy & Action (Check)
 Peak Bullshittery (Check)
 Pro-Heroes Fear Him (Check)

Perfect for fans of:
- An MC who fights like he found out the world owes him money
- Power systems with loopholes so broken they should be patched
- Fights that make Batman’s ‘no-kill rule’ look like a suggestion
- People getting verbally, emotionally, and physically demolished
-Serious moments immediately ruined by sarcasm, insults, and violence

This isn’t a hero story.

This is a tax fraud case waiting to happen.

And I’m just getting started.

Bat to the Future: The Other Midoriya

This story exists thanks to a comment from Shallot77! He originally suggested a Midoriya brother with a Superman Quirk, but I figured making the MC too strong from the start might take some of the fun out of things. So, I took the idea, flipped it around, and… well, here we are. Of course, I tweaked it a bit. (A lot.)

At the end of the day, the most important thing for me is enjoying what I write—so while I take inspiration from suggestions, I always put my own spin on things. Hope you have as much fun reading it as I do writing it!

Warnings & Triggers

Before you dive in, a quick heads-up:

Heavy language – Swearing, crude jokes, and questionable metaphors are abundant. If strong language isn't your thing, consider this your warning.

Dark humor – Sometimes things get morally gray. If you like your heroes squeaky clean, Ryuu might drive you insane.

Chaotic energy – The protagonist does not make responsible decisions. At all.

Insults, roasts, and clapbacks – No one is safe. Not the villains, not the heroes, not even the narrator sometimes.

This is NOT a reincarnation/transmigration story – No second life, no isekai shenanigans. Ryuu was born in this world, and that's that.

The System is NOT a cheat code – Ryuu is clever, but he does not use the System efficiently or in the "smartest" way. If you want a min-maxing protagonist who abuses game mechanics, this ain't it.

The MC might take actions that could trigger readers – He doesn't always do the "right" thing. He's reckless, sarcastic, and sometimes an outright menace. If that kind of thing frustrates you, skip it.
