Bombify
CharacterNumber 6 does not carry explosives, he grows them. Bombify reshapes portions of its user's body into live bombs of whatever size the moment calls for, and in his hands it slots neatly into a chain of other Quirks that detonate and then rebuild what the blast took off.
Overview
Bombify, given in Japanese as Bakudan-ka, was one of several Quirks held by Number 6, the antagonist from My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. It is classified as a Transformation type with close range.
The ability appeared in Chapter 57 of the Vigilantes manga and reached the screen in Episode 26 of the same series. Wiki categories place it under Pro Hero Quirks, villain Quirks, Vigilantes original Quirks, and Number 6's Quirks.
Mechanics
The Quirk mutates sections of the owner's own body, growing explosives out of them. Size is variable, so the user can produce whatever scale of bomb the situation calls for.
Its origin looks artificial rather than natural. The Bomber cells living inside Number 6 appear to be what generated the power in the first place, which sets it apart from a Quirk somebody is simply born holding.
Notable Users
Number 6 is the only recorded user. Between the Bomber cells inside him and the stack of other Quirks he commands, he tends to run Bombify as one link in a chain rather than alone.
His standard sequence grows bombs across his fists, sets them off with Self-Detonation, then calls on Super Regeneration to rebuild the hands he just destroyed, leaving him ready to repeat the whole cycle.
