Glycerin
CharacterGlycerin is the Mutant-type ability of Mitsuki Bakugo, which secretes a smooth liquid through her skin. Unremarkable on its own terms, it matters enormously in combination, since crossing it with her husband's power produced the Explosion Quirk their son wields.
Overview
Glycerin is a contact-range Mutant power belonging to Mitsuki Bakugo. It has no combat application of note and no recorded debut, and its significance rests almost entirely on what it becomes when inherited alongside another ability.
Mechanics
The power draws a smooth liquid out through the user's skin. Its observable effect is cosmetic: the secretion moisturizes constantly, giving Mitsuki flawless skin quality and preserving a youthful look well past what her age would suggest.
Genetics are where it counts. Combined with Masaru Bakugo's Acid Sweat, the two abilities yield Explosion.
