So to start out, I should probably explain how this story will be formatted, and well simply it will be a retelling of My Hero Academia with Midoriya as a different and more powerful kind of character and also with a more determined and tragic past.

Besides the first 1-2 chapters, things will definitely be changed, in accordance to this story, the basic story will play out the same, but for example the entrance exam will feel different and longer.

Of course other questions can be answered later if there are any at all.

Chapter 1 - Izuku Midoriya: The Origin pt. 1

The majority of my life, I've been told I can't and will never become a hero. I learned at the young age of four that all men are not created equal and there's only a handful amount of people you can trust. My name is Izuku Midoriya and this the story of how I became the a great hero.

...

It was 6 a.m. when an alarm went off inside a decorated room of a teenage boy, he slowly sat up from his bed.

The boy was wearing a white t-shirt with the words All Might and on the back a big #1 Hero and long gray pants. All around his room, you could see posters of the number one hero All Might and his notebooks with all his notes and analysis of the countless people he's wrote down.

"Stupid alarm" the boy said, he then slammed his fist down on the already clearly damaged clock.

He then got up and started getting ready for school, "Well, lets see what happens today." he said in a tired and bored tone.

His name is Izuku Midoriya, a 3rd year in Junior High, he has the rare condition of being quirkless in a world where 80% of the population holds a quirk.

He did the usual, eating his own breakfast, getting dressed, saying goodbye to his mom, and leaving at 7 am. He was walking down the street until his phone buzzed, he read the message that was being broadcasted.

The message said "ATTENTION! A VILLAIN HAS STATIONED HIMSELF AT TATOOINE STATION!" this was the first time Midoriya smiled that day and suddenly got the energy he was missing and ran towards Tatooine Station.

A thought went through his mind, 'I hope some new heroes will be here.' he thought as he continued to his destination for about 10 more minutes until he could see Tatooine Station and the giant villain.

A crowd was forming, he walked through the crowd and heard the ongoing conversations, "What did this guy do exactly?" a man in a suit asked the guy next to him, the guy replied "He stole a bag and got cornered."

Midoriya's face faltered with disappointment, 'Really? That's it? This guy clearly isn't bright, well all I care about is the heroes anyway.' he then got in front of the crowd only to see two heroes already here, Death Arms and Backdraft.

Suddenly a wooden tree man started running towards the giant villain, he could here the obvious fan girls, "Oh Kamui! Do your Best!" he rolled his eyes and took out his notebook. He flipped through the pages and pages of heroes he has written down until he got to the most recent page.

Kamui Woods

Quirk: Lumber

Special moves: Lacquered Chain Prison

When confronted by an enemy, his vines stretch out and bind the enemy like chains

Summary: The newest rising star, he seems to swing a lot when moving and has a spider like fighting style at that.

A hand written picture of the hero was left to the information, he noticed that a man with 3 stars on his head next to him was staring at his notebook, "Um... is there a problem sir?" the man blinked in realization that the young boy said something to him and smiled,

He then said, "Oh, I was just looking at your notes, with notes like that, it can only mean one thing..." Midoriya tilted his head in confusion. He then finished with "...your a fanboy, aren't you?" his face turned from confusion to annoyance.

He ignored him and got back to the fight, Death Arms was holding a piece of the broken electric line and Backdraft was keeping the people back, but Kamui Woods seemed like he was getting ready for a attack.

"Stealing, attacking, and holding traffic back, you sir are the culmination evil. So I hope for your sake that you're ready for my..." Midoriya's eyes widened in surprise and then into excitement, "Here it comes, Kamui Woods special move." both him and Midoriya said it at the same time.

"LACQUERED CHAIN PRISON!" his right arm split into many branches, then fired at the gigantic villain, until suddenly, "CANYON CANNON" a woman's voice screamed.

Out of nowhere a giant foot kicked the giant villain, taking him out in the giant woman was blonde with a skin tight bodysuit, clearly showing off her body and curves, including a very obvious butt. The woman landed and picked up the now unconscious villain and said, "My career has officially started, my name is Mt. Lady, it's nice to make your ass-quantice." she jiggled her butt out towards the public.

Midoriya rolled his eyes while about 30 people were taking pictures of her butt, the villain was placed in custody and Mt. Lady was smiling and waving to the people, clearly taking the credit.

"I might as well put her in my notes." Midoriya said as he turned to the next blank page and wrote down all he could from this one experience.

"She seems very greedy in terms of fame, but with a power like that, and also sadly those proportions, she can become popular quite easily and quickly. However, with a quirk like that, accidental destruction is way easier with such a powerful quirk." Midoriya said in a hush tone as he quickly wrote down everything he was muttering.

The same man spoke up saying something that stopped his writing immediately, "Writing down notes, huh. You wanna be a hero right?" the point on his pencil snapped after hearing that.

"You're worthless Izuku!" "You become a hero? Now that has to be the most idiotic thing you have ever said." "I'm sorry Izuku! I'm sorry, I'm sorry" "You're the least amazing Deku" his memories came crashing back at him like the ocean waves hitting the land.

His arms slumped with his notebook still in hand and then slowly put it back in his backpack and started walking towards his original destination.

As he was walking he heard the man again, "Hey, what's wrong kid?" he never responded, and just kept on walking.

'Why? Why? Why am I reminded of this every time I hear those words?' he thought as his past started to come to him.

...

"Mom, mom, the computer." a young Midoriya screamed excitingly as he ran towards the kitchen where his mother was washing the dishes, "Again Izuku? It's only 10 am, and we have to leave for the doctor soon." he put on the most pleading face he could and her face softened immediately.

"Alright fine, let's go." his mother said surrendering to her sons cuteness.

Midoriya then instantly ran to the computer with his All Might action figure in hand and sat in the swivel chair, rocking back and forth.

"Jeez, you've have to of seen this video so much, I think half the views on this video is from you alone." his mother said as she loaded the video, as he couldn't as he was only 4 years old.

The video was about a disaster and the debut of a new hero, "This is crazy, he's saved 100 people and it hasn't even been 10 minutes!" a man with clear injuries said.

Then a very many laugh could be heard as a very big, blonde man was carrying 4 or 5 people "HAHA HAHA!" Midoriya's eyes brightened at the sight. "He's laughing." the injured man said totally surprised.

"Everything's okay, why? Because I am here." the boys smile was so wide it could have fallen off his face.

"He's so cool, when I get my quirk I'm gonna be just like him and be the greatest hero!" he yelled as he jumped off the chair and got a blanket, then tied it around his neck like a cape.

He then ran around the living as his mother giggled at her cute son, until suddenly the door slammed opened. A tall man, in his early thirties, could be seen standing there looking at Midoriya and his mom. Midoriya gulped, "H-Hi d-dad." he said nervously.

...

His thoughts were interrupted by a child's scream, he turned to the right where the scream came from and saw something that stopped his train of thought all together.

He saw 4 kids, they all looked around 4 years old, and it looked like it was 3 on 1 and the one kid was crying. Midoriya immediately started heading over there as this looked way too familiar to him.

Then the leader of the group. also the most fat of the group, pushed the crying kid to the ground and was about to hit him with his fist until Midoriya grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Midoriya said with venom in his voice, the bullies just recoiled and the leader spoke up and said, "We w-were j-just having a friendly little f-fight." he said clearly afraid.

Midoriya sighed on the terrible excuse, then he walked up to him and stood on one knee to get on his eye level and said, "I think I know the real reason why you wanted to hurt him," all 3 bullies looked shock, he then continued.

"You picked on him because you think he's weak and you like when you can feel powerful, I know all too well what bullies like you think, now get out of here and don't mess with him or any other kid, got it." all 3 of them quickly nodded and ran for the hills.

Midoriya stood back up and looked behind him to see the kid had gotten back up as well and was about to leave until he spoke up, "You're not weak you know, it was an unfair battle to begin with," the kid turned around and said something far too familiar to him.

"B-But I'm quirkless and quirkless people are weak and useless to the world." Midoriya's heart skipped a beat and he quickly got on his eye level and grabbed the boy's shoulders shoulders.

"You can't think like that, got it, it's not true, those idiots don't know you or anyone else quirkless in this world, okay." he quickly said to get his point across,

The boy's eyes widened then he asked, "R-Really, can I really b-be useful to the world?" Midoriya replied quickly with, "Yes, yes, of course you can, you can do anything and don't forget it." his eyes brightened with happiness.

They both suddenly heard a woman's voice calling someone, the boy turned around and yelled, "Okay mom! I'm coming," he then turned to me, "I have to go to school, you're my hero." he then ran to his mother and walked away hand and hand.

Midoriya smiled warmly and took a breath of relief, 'Well at least I helped someone today, I just hope that he won't give up like I almost did.' he thought as the past came back to him again.

...

"H-Hi d-dad." the young boy said nervously, his dad stepped inside and said, "It's time to go to the doctors you two, and stop that ridiculousness Izuku, if you're gonna become a hero then you have to grow up and stop looking up to losers like All Might." he said those words with so much hate, that every word Midoriya and his mother flinched with fear.

Midoriya then got the courage to say "All M-Might isn't a loser, h-he's the n-number one h-hero." he said, looking at the ground.

His father then grabbed the neck of Midoriya's shirt and made him look him in the eye and said, "Izuku, we both know I'm not a violent person, and I wouldn't dream of ever hitting you, but talk back to me, GOT IT!" Midoriya was too scared to respond.

"DON'T HESITATE, THAT MAKES YOU WEAK. NOW WHAT DO YOU SAY?" his father screamed at the young boy. "Yes! Yes!" Midoriya said with tears in his eyes.

Inko, who was just silent and too scared to interfere this whole time, then decided to say, "W-Well, look at the t-time, it's almost time for the appointment, we s-should get g-going to the d-doctors now." the aggressive man's eyes darted from Midoriya to his wife, he sighed and let go.

Midoriya got up and quickly ran to his mother and cried on her shoulder, "I'll be in the car, I'll give you 5 minutes to stop the waterworks." the man said as he left his crying son and terrified wife on the ground.

"W-Why is d-dad always so m-mean and h-hateful?" the crying boy asked while his mother rubbed his back. "We better get going, we don't want to keep him waiting." his mother said trying to change the subject.

Midoriya simply nodded and walked with his mother hand in hand to their car, they got in and his father drove to the doctors office.

...

Midoriya sighed at the memory, 'I don't know why I was so scared of him back then, I guess you're supposed to expect your father to love you no matter what, but I guess that was too much for him.' he thought with with hate in his voice.

Remembering that he has school today, he looked at the nearby clock in the park, his eyes widened, 'Oh crap, I'm gonna be late all because of these stupid memories.' he thought as he beelined it to school.

He finally got to school after a half an hour of running, 'Finally.' he thought as he stepped inside, clearly late.

'It should be homeroom by now,' he thought as he walked through the empty hallways, he got to his room and opened the door to the loud room, well it was loud until he they saw him.

His teacher looked at him in shame, "Midoriya I'm disappointed, if you want to actually graduate, you have to be here on time." his teacher said, the class laughed as a result of him being humiliated.

"Yes sir" Midoriya said, he then walked to his desk until he was tripped by a blonde classmate, but he was self aware enough to catch himself "C'mon Midoriya, I expected better than that." a boy said.

He kept going, trying to ignore them, he sat down and got out his notebook to finish his notes about the debut of Mt. Lady.

"Anyway, what I was saying, is that you're all 3rd years and you need to think about your future." Midoriya sighed and knew where this was going.

"I would pass out some printouts for your career choice, but.." he then threw all the papers in the air, "...you're all going to be heroes aren't you?" almost everyone in the room, then showed off their quirks.

"Teach! Don't put me in the same group as these nobodies." said a blonde boy, interrupting the whole class.

His name is Katsuki Bakugo, childhood "friend" of Midoriya, he has a very powerful quirk, but he's also very cocky of his abilities.

"SHUT IT KATSUKI!" everyone but Midoriya and the teacher screamed at Bakugo. The teacher then said, "Oh right, you want to go to U.A. right Bakugo?" the class then gasped in surprise.

"U.A.! That's that national school right?" Isn't the acceptance rate of that school really low?" Midoriya meanwhile was just ignoring everything that was happening around him but still listening.

Midoriya sighed and muttered again to himself, "Kacchan never changes does he, hopefully they just ignore me." Bakugo then jumped onto his desk with ease.

"You all done flapping your mouths you extras. I aced the mock test. I'm the only one in this pathetic school that can get into U.A. I"ll definitely surpass All Might and become the very best!" the cocky boy proclaimed in front of everyone.

"Oh right, Midoriya didn't you want to go to UA too?" silence was all that could be heard after that, Midoriya sighed for probably the 5th time that day and thought, 'Well here we go.' the class then erupted in laughter.

"Midoriya, no way" "You can't get into UA just by studying" Midoriya was about to open his mouth but, Bakugo launched at him.

Midoriya jumped out and landed on his feet before he got hit with an explosive hand, as the desk he was earlier in exploded thanks to Bakugo.

Bakugo then immediately grabbed Midoriya's shirt and forced him against the back wall. Midoriya looked at the teacher for any kind of help, only to find that he was on his phone, ignoring the current situation.

"You're worse than these weak nobodies Deku, you're quirkless, how can you think that you could even match up with me." Bakugo said so aggressively that even the fellow students backed away.

"It's not like that." Midoriya said looking down so his hair covered his eyes. "It's just that I've wanted to be a hero for as long as I can remember and well, I've put a lot of work into becoming a hero and I think my hard work can pay off." most of the class just rolled their eyes at the green haired boy.

"I think my hard work can pay off!?" Bakugo said sarcastically and then said, "What can someone like you accomplish, you're pathetic,you're quirkless and you know this more than anyone, when you're quirkless, you're worthless!" Midoriya's eyes widened with anger, and he grabbed the wrist of Bakugou.

Midoriya looked up with probably the most terrifying smirk anyone in that room has ever seen.

"You all tell me that I'm pathetic and I can't do anything because I'm quirkless well, let me tell you guys something, besides Kacchan, none you have a better chance at becoming a hero than I do." Midoriya said with so much venom that even Bakugo flinched a bit.

Most of the class either were too surprised to react or scared to the point of them backing away from the quirkless boy.

"First of all, you all say I'm powerless because of me being quirkless but, sorry some of you don't exactly have the hero type of quirks either." everyone except Bakugou and the teacher looked at their quirks, wondering what he meant.

"I'm talking to you eyeballs." the kid with the eyeball quirk gasped, Midoriya then continued.

"Seriously, you think someone with a long neck or nose quirk can be a great hero? Don't fool yourselves, you're dreaming higher than I ever could." the class gasped and realized that what he was saying has some truth to it.

I don't know why I said what I said. Maybe it was because of the trip down memory lane I was having that day, maybe it was because of all the abuse I got for 10 straight years.

On that day, I didn't regret a single thing I said in that classroom, and years later I still don't.

"Deku? What are you.." Bakugo was then interrupted by Midoriya as he was on a role, "Second of all, TEACHER!" the teacher looked up from his phone for the first time in the last 5 minutes.

"You just stand idly by and let all this happen? Now that's pathetic. You too scared to step up to a couple of 14 years old's? Plus didn't Kacchan just destroy school property and you still don't care? Now you're either a scared wimp or an idiot, actually probably both," the teacher was stunned because of how blunt Midoriya was being.

"Finally, there's you Kacchan." Midoriya said looking Bakugou straight in the eyes still with that crazy smirk on his face.

"You say I can't be a hero because I don't have the power to be one, well I might not have more power than you, but I sure as hell have more heart and compassion than you ever will." Bakugo's grip on the his shirt tightened as he readied an explosive punch.

However, suddenly the bell rang, stopping Bakugou completely. Midoriya lifted Bakugo's hand off of him and grabbed his bag to go to his next class.

"Deku…" Bakugo scowled at the boy as he closed the door to the classroom, everyone in the room except Bakugo was stunned to shock and were all in a daze to do anything.

The teacher was the first one speak up, "W-Well you all heard the bell, get going to class." everyone left the room in silence with one question in mind, 'What just happened?'

The day passed as the final bell rang and Midoriya was putting his stuff in his backpack until suddenly a hand grabbed his hero analysis notebook.

He looked up to see no other than Bakugo with a face that you wouldn't describe as happy. "We need to have a talk Deku." he said waving Midoriya's notebook in the air.

Bakugo's two "friends" were behind him looking at the notebook that belonged to the young fanboy. "Hero Analysis for the Future? Seriously Midoriya." one of them said laughing.

Bakugo was moving his other hand to his the notebook, Midoriya realizing what was about to happen spoke up, "Hey, sto.." he said but was interrupted as Bakugo exploded the notebook and threw out it the window.

Bakugo was completely unfazed, he then spoke calmly, "Most top heroes have a one thing in common, that their junior high was nothing special and they were the first and ONLY from their school."

Midoriya heard a splash, meaning that his precious notebook #13 had fallen into only a puddle, or at least he hoped.

"Of course because I'm a perfectionist I will accomplish the same and be the first and only student from this lousy school." he then walked up to Midoriya, who only had a emotionless face, and put a his right hand on his left shoulder.

"So, don't think about going to UA, nerd." he said as smoke rises from his hand, meaning that he could easily create an explosion and injure the young boy.

Midoriya still said nothing as their was no point in fighting a fight he couldn't win.

They then walked away from the green-haired boy, "Wow, in homeroom you sure had a lot to say but I guess you really are just talk." one the bullies said looking back at him.

"Leave him be, he might actually start realizing that there's no chance he'll be a hero." Bakugo said but stopped at the doorway to say one more thing.

"You know there is one way to become a hero…" Midoriya clutched his fist in anger, "...you can hope you'll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a jump off the rooftop." Midoriya looked back with pure anger on his face.

Bakugo made an explosion around his hand and said, "Got something to say?" Midoriya looked back down again in defeat.

...

In downtown a blonde and very skinny man could be seen coming out of a grocery store holding his bought groceries, but suddenly he heard someone scream, "There's a robber on the loose, someone stop him!" a sludge villain is seen running away.

The blonde skinny man sighed in annoyance.

'And it was my day off too.' he thought as he looked around and saw that no one was looking this way and quickly muscled up.

A couple bystanders were speaking upon the predicament, "He's taking advantage of today's earlier villain incident." others nodded in agreement.

The once skinny man walked towards the bystanders with a perfect smile on his face.

"I guess we'll just have to wait till a hero comes to stop him." the man then spoke, "There is a hero here. Why?" he came out of the shadows as the citizens gasped in surprise.

"Because I am here."

...

Midoriya was walking outside of school looking for his notebook while thinking of what Bakugo said, "Idiot, if I really committed suicide then you have had been instigated for it." he found his book in a pond of water.

Fish were nibbling at the teared up book, "That's not food morons,'' he said to the fish, he picked up the book and looked at it with frustration.

'Why? Why do I have to endure such a life.' he thought as more of his memories came to him.

...

Midoriya's family had arrived to the doctor's office to find out why Midoriya has yet to acquire a quirk, however the doctor's response did not satisfy Midoriya's father.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE"S QUIRKLESS?!" Midoriya's father yelled at the doctor. Inko and her son flinched and backed away from the angry man.

The doctor merely sighed at the man's outburst, "It means exactly as it sounds, your son is quirkless, as in he has no power." the doctor said.

With clear anger in his eyes, Midoriya's father gripped the sides of the stool he was sitting in and growled in frustration.

"Hisashi Midoriya, quirk: fire breath. Inko Midoriya, quirk: attraction of small objects." the doctor said going over both parents files.

The doctor looked from the files to the young woman and asked, "Mrs. Midoriya you're 4th generation correct?" she was about to reply but was cut off, "What does that matter? I want to know why my son is weak." Midoriya who was silent this whole time flinched when he heard his father call him weak.

The doctor sighed and explained that Midoriya should have acquired a quirk before the age of 4 and that it was rare. He continued by saying that people with a 2 joints in their pinky toe don't have quirks and unfortunately Midoriya is one those people.

The discouraged family drove home in silence, Midoriya didn't know how to feel, he was heartbroken but also scared of what awaited him with his father.

As soon as they arrived home, Hisashi stormed out of their car and into the their home in anger.

Inko turned towards the the backseat where her son was sitting, "Izuku, why don't you go out and play with your friends while I try to calm down your father, okay?" Midoriya slowly looked to his mother's eyes and slowly nodded.

It took about 10 minutes for Midoriya to find his friends, but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Bakugo and his other friends yelling at another kid.

He ran towards the group, "Kacchan, what are you doing?" he asked the blonde spiky-haired kid.

Bakugo turned around and had a look of disgust and turned away to punch the crying kid with an explosive fist but was caught by Midoriya by the arm.

Bakugo turned to towards Midoriya and pushed him away, "Get the heck off me Deku!" he yelled at Midoriya..

"Kacchan," Midoriya started out, "why are you hurting him? He's crying." he finished looking Bakugo in the eye.

"Because he pissed me off, now get the heck out my way Deku!" Bakugo yelled once again.

One of Bakugo's friends decided to speak up and ask Midoriya, "Where have you been anyway Midoriya?" Midoriya froze and looked down at the ground in sadness and fear.

He hesitated, "I-I… was at the doctor to f-find out why my q-q-quirk hasn't surfaced yet." one of Bakugo's eyes suddenly twitched, and he then asked, "And? What happened Deku?" he asked curiously, but seemingly angry.

Midoriya was scared, if his father, the one man who should always support him, called him weak, what would Bakugo and his friends think? Would they be supportive? Would they just now care and just continue like nothing happened? Or will they discard him like nothing? All he knew was that if he didn't answer, something more terrible will happen.

"The d-d-doctor s-said that I'm q-q-q-quirkless" he then shut his eyes and continued to lower his head waiting for a response.

Bakugo didn't know how to feel, some part of him was telling him that he should be sympathetic and he probably would listen to this voice known as his conscience more if it wasn't for what Midoriya did.

Midoriya waited for an answer, for what felt like hours, was actually a good couple of seconds, "You're the least amazing Deku." those 5 words were like 5 knives stabbing continuously until all his hope was destroyed.

Bakugo's friends just snickered at the embarrassed Midoriya who was starting to tear up a little after the comment. Bakugo then turned back to kid lying on the ground, who was still trying to stop crying.

"Now, where was I?" he then readied an explosion until Midoriya stepped in front and made him back off.

"I can't let you do that Kacchan, especially since you won't even tell me why you're so mad at him." Midoriya said standing up arrogant kid.

"I TOLD YOU DIDN"T I? HE PISSED ME OFF!" Bakugo yelled at Midoriya who was about to start crying himself.

"YEAH BUT WHY?!" he yelled and then continued, "If-if you don't stop then I'll s-stop you myself" he said with tears in his eyes and readying a fighting stance.

Bakugo then looked at him and smiled cockily and said, "You wanna act like a hero Deku. You just said that you're quirkless, what can you do?" he said as his friends started preparing their own quirks.

Bakugo and his friends then charged at him and triple teamed him to a pulp.

...

As Midoriya was having flashbacks, he arrived at a tunnel and thought internally, "Come on, you said yourself, you would become a hero and prove everyone wrong, especially him" he then did the only thing that could lighten his mood, he started to imitate All Might.

Unfortunately as he was enjoying himself, he heard another person's laugh and the movement of liquid, he turned around only to find a slime monster looming over with an evil smile.

"You'll make the best disguise kid." the slime monster said as Midoriya looked above with no fear on his face.

"Alright, it's my time to shine."

End

Well that's it, I know that was around a 5,000 word chapter, and that is something that I wouldn't even would want to read, but I tried to make sure not to put too many long paragraphs, because I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't want to read that much unless I'm really into it.

As you can see, Midoriya is a completely different person compared to the original, except being a fanboy, I hope you're alright with him being like that, don't worry he won't be an edgy character.

Also I'm sure that you can see that Bakugo seems, a bit more hostile, but there's more and I hope you picked up on that, and that Midoriya doesn't seem to like him at all, but don't worry I'm going to try and make it work so that there is some connection between them.
