Fabricated posted:the Symbiotes are kinda lame, and his general badguys like the Shocker, Rhino, the dude in the stupid bird costume, are all pretty lame too The original Carnage/Venom were actually pretty cool. They had a good dynamic where it was Spiderman as the pure good guy, Venom as the vigilante type hero and Carnage as a crazy batshit insane guy who just wanted to never stop murdering. Strangely enough Carnage was the only one who got really creative with his powers and ended up looking more like a human fused with an alien instead of a dude in a spandex suit (that was really an alien wooOoooOOOOoo). Miss the cool rear end knife and axe hand stuff they did with him. And then they made a whole bunch of rip off symbiotes including one that was literally just Carnage with tits.

Deku has Stain, of course, but Tailguy and Froggy should get their own as well!

I think it's "non-combat" enough to count though. ...Aren't you the one who noted that that Irregular Joes would count too, given the setting? Oh, what I meant was that someone with no superpowers at all would be the irregular one. I guess a subtle superpower like Inventor girl's would count yeah. Actually, more of her and her ilk would be good. There should be a guy in some kind of Iron Man suit! What if one of them went rogue and became a supervillain? Is that how this world gets its evil mad scientists?

There's probably at least a few running around with out official support and whatnot.

Chinese Spoiler scans are out: http://ishuhui.net/ReadComicBooks/2978 The poo poo/slapdash translation is that All For One and One For All come originally from a pair of brothers starting from when quirks first appeared. All For One guy apparently was a horrible Hitler-like piece of poo poo in his era. I guess it's implied that the good brother was quirkless and All For One somehow ended up giving him/creating One For All inside him? One For All is basically one of the only quirks capable of facing All For One; All Might tells him this and all the other info but can't bear to tell him that he is in fact, dying, and will very likely not live long enough to be there for him whenever he inevitably really comes up against All For One. Mineta gets busted peeping into the girl's locker room, and I guess they're going on another class-trip type thing.

Huh, looking at that, I wonder if Shigaraki got his quirk from All For One or was otherwise "created" by him or something, possibly in a similar manner to how it's (apparently) implied that One For All was? Shigaraki's referred to his "father" once or twice, they both have creepy biomechanical aesthetics, and so on. It would also explain his strange, childlike mental state and seeming lack of knowledge and experience with a lot of outside things. Mostly just speculation on my part, but it references things from this chapter, so spoilered nonetheless.

Lots of the Class quicks can be very dangerous. Take Ashido for example. She can change how carrosive her acid is at will. But from last chapter alone we know that it can eat through steal and concrete in seconds when she wants it to. Imagine if that got on a person.

Darth Walrus posted:Right, yeah, but there's a difference between merely having firepower and being Horrifying-Internal-Injuries-Administered-Via-Red-Hot-Ear-Tentacle Girl. That is true, but getting past the visceral nature of that it's rather standard, basically another "damage/destruction" power. I guess it does qualify as "scarier" still, though. Anyway, looking at this chapter I think that what I said earlier was at least partially accurate; Shigaraki's weird hands everywhere are definitely the result of All For One and/or the weird doctor taking care of him. No idea what purpose they serve (possibly something related to All For One and holding different powers, like some people suspected early on?), but I'm rather certain one or both of those two are behind them and they're there for a reason. Also, is it just me, or is anyone else getting the feeling that we're shaping up for an eventual (and I mean far, far down the road, definitely not immediate) Shigaraki redemption/rebellion against All For One? The way he's been talked about in the past, plus how All For One's talking about him here, are making me feel that way; All For One is referring to him like he's some sort of born monster, destined to be the next evil kingpin, but that being true doesn't feel like it's in the theme of this series. All For One is almost certainly the "real" final villain of all this, and I'm definitely thinking that Shigaraki's eventually going to break down, betray him/get betrayed, go "no gently caress you dad!", or something along those lines sooner or later and, if not defect, at least stand by as AFO's taken down if not actively contributing to such. Then again, I could be wrong, and he not only stays evil to the end but ends up being the even bigger villain after AFO finally falls. It's just a hunch I'm having presently. Oh, and lastly, confirmation that One For All can't just be stolen or anything. I mean everyone should have known as much but some people were still unsure, so there we go. Curious if the other half of that will eventually come into play, but I highly doubt it; it'd involve de-powering Deku so it seems like a major endgame thing unless we get a very interesting twist somewhere down the line. Which admittedly I can't entirely rule out, so.

I was kind of hoping that Deku didn't actually have any quirk, just SHONEN SPIRIT, but that's looking less and less likely.

chaos rhames posted:I was kind of hoping that Deku didn't actually have any quirk, just SHONEN SPIRIT, but that's looking less and less likely. Why? The quirk that All for One's brother had just happened to be the ability to pass on a quirk as a way to explain how One for All has been getting passed on throughout the generations. He just wasn't aware of it since it's the sort of thing you wouldn't notice unless you already knew about it. In Deku's case, there's no real reason for him to have a quirk.

Good chapter, but I can't help but be sad about All Might's all-but-certain demise. You're too cool to die, man

How did he find out about it? Someone ingesting your blood/hair/sweat while you hope really hard they get your super powers from it seems like a strange place to arrive at unless you already knew it would work.

Darth Walrus posted:His brother could give superpowers to people. That seems a decent reason to check just in case. Yeah, people seem to forget this but similar quirks run in the family it seems. Hence, among other things, Endeavor's... "Project". AFO could take and give quirks to people, so his brother having a lesser version of that quirk is completely in-line with what we know. It's a useless quirk in and of itself, to be sure, but that's not really out of the ordinary either. There are plenty of weak/useless quirks, even before things like Deku's toes/quirklessness. They're called "quirks", after all.
