Johnny

Character

Johnny was a pocket-sized Nomu kept in Kyudai Garaki's hidden laboratory, half a body trailing a cable, wearing shoes on his arms. Daruma used him as a door: a mouthful of black ooze, and someone was somewhere else entirely.

Quirk: Warping
Status: Deceased
Gender: Male
First Appearance (Anime): Episode 108: My Villain Academia

Appearance

The Nomu template was all present, dark skin, round eyes, a brain left open to the air, only shrunk down. Below the torso there was nothing at all, just a cable running out from underneath him. Pale lace-up shoes went on his upper limbs, and a clear helmet sat on his head bristling with mechanisms, one of which fired his Quirk by hand.

Personality

Almost nothing about him ever surfaced. He did appear to enjoy being taken on walks.

Abilities

Warping made a target bring up a black ooze from the mouth, which then wrapped them and became the mouth of a portal. Every trip began or ended wherever Johnny happened to be, and he needed a familiar face waiting at the far end to serve as an anchor. Leaning on the power too hard gave him tonsillitis. The helmet device let Daruma operate the Quirk for him.
