"The villain explodes his daughter's arms and legs to make her blood into bullets" is still my favorite grimdark thing from the series.

He killed at least one to make a point I think, and Rappa was killed and reconstructed multiple times in his backstory. And he had a minion be a human shield when Shigaraki went for him after Magne's death and Compress losing his arm, instead of, well, moving/being moved, with rather nasty results.

Overhaul is a terrible boss who doesn't give a poo poo about his subordinates (even though they all love him) to contrast him with Shigaraki, noted good friend and trusted leader.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Overhaul is a terrible boss who doesn't give a poo poo about his subordinates (even though they all love him) to contrast him with Shigaraki, noted good friend and trusted leader. Overhaul basically targeted people that society gave up on (but have useful quirks) and gaslights them into thinking that serving him is their purpose. Shigaraki made his gang of insane criminals but they all at trust each other enough to work as a cohesive unit without him forcing them to. I don't think Shigaraki would expect any of his members to die for him.

Pretty much. Though they are kind of cheating because the Nomus are the equivalent cannon fodder to the ones Overhaul manipulated. Then there's Spinner, who is definitely being manipulated.

Then there's Spinner, who is definitely being manipulated. To be fair, Spinner's an idiot anyway. Between hero-worshipping Stain and a complete failure to understand what Stain was saying, you could probably legit say "I agree with Stain" and he'd work for you. League of Villains just happened to be the first to get to him.

Also, his quirk may well just be "looks like a lizard." He doesn't have any stated ability, as far as I can recall, and doesn't display much that can't just be explained as shounen physics.

Spinner always reeked to me of someone who ends up eating fratricide in the end because he's still a true-blue Stain adherent. If he doesn't get handed off to Iida to beat in some final battle I could see him finally just confronting Shigaraki or Dabi or something about how they're not being true to Stain's vision and he puts his foot down about it and ends up dead.

His quirk is being a lizard! If he loses a limb he can grow it back! He can taste the air to track people down! It takes him 2 hours to get out of bed if he doesn't have a red light pointed at him set on a timer to get him started!

With all five fingers. Notice how he does the same thing Uraraka does when handling stuff, keeping one finger (usually either the pinky or middle finger) off of it, or holding it with just his forefinger and thumb and dangling it in front of him.

That makes me wonder, will the League have a counterpart for each of Deku's classmates? Deku's counterpart is obviously Shigaraki, Todoroki has Dabi, Uraraka's will probably be Toga, maybe Kirishima's is Rappa if he joins the League, Tokoyami probably has a score to settle with Compress, and that's all I have.

I don't get why you'd bother testing the High-Spec on a high-ranking hero instead of just telling it go gently caress UA up. There's plenty of high-level heroes there. I bet it could've killed someone before it was stopped too.

Kurogiri's power to get the league anywhere was also very powerful. So the new warping guy with the Quirk All for One had is much less powerful ability. As All for One said, he can only teleport people to him or away from him and only to people he is very familiar with.

Shigaraki and Uraraka should invest in those gloves that only cover some of your fingers so they don't have to worry about accidentally using their powers.
