Iron Ball
CharacterIron Ball arms Sidero with a personal foundry: metal spheres take shape at his knuckles and fly at whatever he aims them toward. Introduced in World Heroes' Mission, the Quirk scales freely, producing shot no bigger than an egg or masses that dwarf the villain throwing them.
Overview
Rendered as Aian Bōru, Iron Ball is an Emitter Quirk with long-range reach, belonging to the villain Sidero. It appears in the third feature film, My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission, and originates there rather than in the manga.
Mechanics
Iron spheres form at the user's knuckles and launch from that point. Sidero decides how much metal goes into each one, and the range is considerable. A single ball may be no larger than an egg, or it may swell past the size of his own body.
