All For One is Deku's dad, but the twist is that he's been alive for hundreds of years and has kids all over the country, so Deku being one of them isn't actually all that special or unique. In fact, Deku isn't even the only one of his kids who goes to UA.

Maybe AFO pulled a Batman Beyond using his brother's DNA to try and bring him back in some manner.

Well there was that one scene during the 1-A vs 1-B arc where we see All For One say that he can hear his brother's voice, but that's probably due to some connection he has to One For All.

Anyways, a new chapter of the Team Up Mission spin-off came out today: Melissa Shield(from the first movie) visits UA and gets into a contest with Hatsume to see who can make the best support gear and use Deku as their test subject

Here's one angle they could do to give that twist material value. What if EVERYBODY born quirkless in the latest generation was born with powers and had them stolen? It shows how much power AfO and the Doctor has over the world, and means that we could be closer to Singularity than we thought.

That would explain what all those jars in his lab are full of.

That wouldn't make any sense. AFO has had a Quirk since Quirks exist, the Quirk Singularity is a predicted event in the future.

I was under the impression that most Quirks were capable of being powerful, it's that just most people didn't really train them.

Mirio's quirk was unremarkable at first and he turned it into Phantom Menace. Same for Suneater, at first he could only make tiny body parts sprout.

Twice's power is the most broken poo poo in the setting after AfO but there are definitely some potential limitations that prevent him from just flooding the entirety of Japan with Shigaraki clones.

The clones have their own free will and aren't under Twice's control. They retain the memories and motivations of the person Twice made them out of, but that's not necessarily reliable. The more you create, the more likely you're going to have some that don't agree with what you want them to do, or some that reject the existential horror of their own being(oh cool I'm a disposable sapient being created to ape a real person!) and go Blade Runner rogue synth, so on and so forth.

His own backstory is an example of this; he made an army of himself and lived the high life for a while until what he wanted and what the clones wanted diverged and he effectively had a civil war with himself.

Twice's clones not being durable at all is why he isn't impossibly broken. Past a point there are pros who can basically instantly waste as many as they can conceivably touch with their quirks at any given moment.

Ultimately, Twice's role in the grand scheme of things is to make a huge, million-strong army of clones in the final battle that Izuku will dramatically plow through.

I wonder if clones with regenerative quirks like the nomu would still fall apart after a few hard blows?

I don't think the regeneration would come into play since it just takes one hard, bone-breaking hit.

Also, how terrifying does that make Aizawa, that he pulled his bandages hard enough to break bones here.

I do think that if Twice cloned someone with a Quirk that acted as a shield, either intentionally (the guy who helped Rappa in his fight with Fat Gum and Kirishima) or indirectly (Geten throwing up a wall of ice to shield himself) their durability would probably be less in jeopardy than a non-defensive Quirk.

If Twice makes a clone of someone does their blood work w. Toga's quirk? If Toga morphs into someone can Twice measure that to clone them?
