Curse
CharacterCurse belongs to the villain Thousand Eyes, whose frame is not flesh at all but a mass of paper runes. The talismans leave him almost weightless, and the game My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero shows him firing them off as cutting strands and splitting them into duplicates of himself.
Overview
Classified as a Mutant Quirk with a working span from mid to long range, Curse turns up in Chapter 14 and Episode 9. The combat archive in My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero files the same ability under the name Charms.
Mechanics
Every part of the holder's body is composed of paper runes rather than tissue, a substitution that strips away most of his weight. The material can be sent out in sharpened strands to slash at a target, and it can also be shaped into copies of the user.
Those extended applications never surface in either the manga or the anime. The video game is the only place they are demonstrated.
