What superpower would you want? An often asked question, simple and casual. Answers you'd usually get vary from the stock invisibility to the cliche flight. But one answer you'll never get, at least seriously, is being a plant. That's it. Being a plant. That's the premise. Izuku is a literal salad. Well. Maybe not a salad but definitely a plant considering the chlorophyll.

Izuku's only dream was to become a hero. However, his birth quirk was the antithesis of heroism, determined to prove his quirk could do more than hurt people he turned to vigilantism, becoming one of Japan's most notorious and respected vigilantes The Headhunter, who has left all 23 of his victims (all thugs and criminals) quirkless with minimal injuries.

You know the story. Izuku wanted nothing more than to be a hero but found out he was quirkless. But if he didn't and his quirk could rival both All For One and One For All, how would the story go? What if he rid himself of the toxic childhood friend and found someone better? What if he got tired of dealing with people's shit and got some attitude?

A not-so-quirkless Izuku is pushed over the edge by the constant mockery and bullying. His quirk certainly didn't help. Not now and not ever. It's the reason All For One picked him up. It's the reason All For One tortured and broke him. It's the reason Izuku became a villain. Yet he still doesn't realise it was HIS from the beginning. Believing it to be a gift from All For One.

A tough-to-handle quirk with crazy potential, a cheery boy with a heart of gold. Who does that sound like? Depending on who you ask the answer will differ, usually either Mirio Togata or Izuku Midoriya. Both willing to do whatever it takes to save someone. Self-sacrifice is nothing new to these two. What happens if you put them together? What insane things will they get up to?

Izuku's battle against All For One. A battle that would span a lifetime. Many lifetimes. Thankfully Izuku seems to have those in stock. And he's determined to get his perfect ending. (Premise and Izuku's quirk originate partially from AO3's Irradiation's "Closing The Thousandfold Loop", I'll be switching things around a lot, spoilers for Manga are likely.)

After meeting his idol and receiving his power Izuku becomes a great hero...But what if his second encounter with the sludge villain never occurred? What if he couldn't prove himself? What if he gave into his own despair? (Basically, depressed Izuku meets an All Might who doesn't believe in him. Izuku doesn't become a hero and All Might is left without a successor.)
