Support gear Mei Hatsume reworked for Izuku Midoriya so that the wind blasts he snaps from his fingertips would land where he wanted them. Introduced with his costume upgrade, the gloves ran alongside his Iron Soles and spared him the…
David Shield built himself a car for the years he spent backing All Might in the field, and the Allmobile is the result: a red two-seater that outruns villains on the road, splits into a drone and a chassis, then locks the two halves back…
Power Loader's contribution to Kyoka Jiro's costume upgrade is a pair of small speakers strapped to her forearms. Jack her Earphone Jacks into them and the quiet thud of her own heartbeat turns into a weapon loud enough to tear open the…
Nearly every yen All Might had saved went into a robotic shell that let a Quirkless, aging man stand across from All For One during the Final War. Melissa Shield drew the design, the car Hercules keeps it fed, and every weapon bolted to it…
A voice-altering mask fitted to Hitoshi Shinso's hero gear, the Artificial Vocal Cords let him speak in a borrowed voice without any electronics involved. The design exists for a reason: his Brainwashing Quirk dies the instant his speech…
Mei Hatsume's two-part stability rig reads the wearer's brainwaves and fires bursts of compressed air to keep them upright. Tenya Ida wore the gear through their U.A. Sports Festival match, which doubled as a live sales pitch for…
U.A. High School's flying camera drones handle two jobs that look unrelated until you notice the lens is the same. They broadcast the Sports Festival to the country, and they quietly patrol the campus after dark, checking who is still…
A comic book series old enough that Yoichi Shigaraki and All For One read it as boys, Captain Hero pits a costumed champion against a Demon Lord. Two brothers took opposite lessons from the same pages, and the whole tragedy of their lives…
One of Mei Hatsume's inventions, the Capture Gun trades bullets for nets. She debuted it on the biggest stage available to a Support Department student, firing it at Tenya Ida in front of the entire U.A. Sports Festival crowd and the…
Nothing about a roll of tape looks like hero equipment, which is exactly why U.A. hands it out during training. In team exercises it settles the argument cleanly: get it wrapped around an opponent and that opponent is finished, no debate…
The grey scarf bunched around Shota Aizawa's neck is not fabric in any ordinary sense, and it is not decoration either. It is the half of Eraser Head that does the actual holding, the counterweight to a Quirk that can switch powers off but…
Standard issue for the sidekicks Gang Orca fields at the Provisional Hero License Exam, this arm-mounted weapon does not knock candidates down so much as glue them where they stand. Even Shoto Todoroki took a faceful of it.
Detnerat built Re-Destro a suit that works against its wearer deliberately. His Meta Ability runs on frustration, so the armor pins and squeezes the man inside it, and the misery it manufactures is precisely the fuel that drives Stress…
In a world where everyone has a power, clothing becomes engineering. A costume is the outfit that marks a Hero, Villain, or Vigilante, but the good ones are really machines: built around one person's Quirk, propping up what it cannot do…
Chitose Kizuki's Landmine works on things she has already touched, which normally means planning ahead. Detnerat's answer was a wristband that unfolds into a weapon around her hand, letting her carry the blast with her and set it off at…
Another entry in Mei Hatsume's Sports Festival showcase, these oversized boots make their wearer harder to pin down. Facing a Quirk built entirely on speed, she answered with footwear that dodges for her.
Erasure only works on someone Shota Aizawa is looking at, which makes his gaze the tell that gives him away. The yellow goggles fix that by making it impossible to follow his eyes, and they have become so much a part of him that fans…
Melissa Shield's answer to a body that cannot survive its own strength, the Full Gauntlet passes for a plain red wristband until a button wakes it. Released, it wraps Izuku Midoriya's forearm and buys him a handful of unrestrained One For…
Katsuki Bakugo's sweat is worthless once it disperses, so his costume carries two grenade-shaped tanks that hoard it instead. Pull the pin and the whole reserve detonates at once, giving him a blast on a scale his arms alone could never…
Toshinori Yagi trades his cape for a driver's seat, and Hercules is what he sits in. The black machine looks like a supercar, thinks for itself, and shrugs off a grenade at point-blank range. By the end it is less a vehicle than a partner…
Before Izuku Midoriya had a Quirk he had a pen. Thirteen or more volumes deep, his notebooks catalogue every hero he has watched work, and the habit outlives his power itself, following him from powerless middle schooler to teacher at U.A.
Shortened to HN, the Hero Network is the professional back channel of the hero industry: an online service locked behind a license, holding activity reports from across the country and letting one hero call in another whose Quirk suits the…
Mei Hatsume won a design contest, and her prize was watching the U.A. faculty hobble themselves with her invention. Compacted into a size that straps to a limb, each weight piles on roughly half its wearer's body mass, bleeding away speed…
Two heavy metal boots with thrusters buried in them, the Hover Soles are a Mei Hatsume build that lifts its wearer clear of the ground. They stretch a jump, smooth out movement, and double as a cushion for anyone coming down hard.
Mei Hatsume built a pack that dodges for you. Sensors ringing the wearer watch for anyone closing in, and hydraulic arms yank the body clear before the blow lands, blind spots included. She took the rig into the ring herself against Tenya…
Sir Nighteye carried no offensive Quirk, so he carried these instead: little stamp-shaped slugs weighing five kilograms apiece. Thrown fast enough, one of them hits like artillery and gives him a reach his own body never provided.
A man-made island that does not stay put, I-Island holds more than ten thousand scientists studying the Quirk phenomenon in a place built to keep them safe and keep their work quiet. It anchors the film My Hero Academia: Two Heroes.
The muscle behind I-Island's security system is a swarm rather than a squad. These autonomous drones police the streets and corridors in numbers no intruder can outlast, built tough enough to shrug off Quirks and patient enough to wait one…
Arano Mingan's textbook traces how heroes became heroes, from the vigilantes who came first to the licensing regime that replaced them. Hitonami University assigns it, and its undergraduates mostly survive it by borrowing an…
Footwear armor Mei Hatsume built into Izuku Midoriya's hero costume, designed to make up for what his legs could not deliver on their own. The toes snap forward on impact, doubling the force behind every kick, and the gear became the…
A twin-turbine pack off Mei Hatsume's workbench that grants its wearer a short stretch of flight. The Buster Hero known as Airjet supplied the idea, the U.A. Support Course student supplied the engineering, and Izuku Midoriya is the one…
Four-legged pincer rigs operated by staff at the Kanidoge food chain, styled after crabs to advertise what the company sells. They haul product and market it at the same time, until Number 6 rewrites their code and turns a mall full of…
The autobiography Chikara Yotsubashi wrote from a prison cell under his Villain name, Destro, arguing that state control over Quirks violates a basic human right. He finished the manuscript and then took his own life. The book still moves…
American-made prototype gear that braces the wearer's whole body against its own output. Toshinori Yagi bought a set before the borders closed and handed it to Izuku Midoriya, who has pushed One For All through it far past anything his old…
Small machines U.A. High School keeps on hand to carry the injured off the field, better known around campus as Transpo-bots. They surface wherever a combat exercise leaves a student unable to walk to the infirmary on their own.
A Campos notebook Toshinori Yagi filled with everything he could dig up about the people who carried One For All before his student did. Its full title runs Previous Successor Quirks, Notes for Young Midoriya, and it exists because the…
The card that lets a hero trainee use a Quirk in the field with the law's blessing, issued by the Hero Public Safety Commission to anyone who clears the exam. It carries a photo and a hero name, and it means the holder no longer needs a…
David Shield's answer to a fading All Might: a headset that multiplies a Quirk's output without laying a finger on the body producing it. Governments around the world buried the project, and when David staged an attack to steal it back,…
Kai Chisaki's product, cultivated out of the body of a child named Eri and delivered through hypodermic bullets, erases a Quirk on contact. The Shie Hassaikai meant to sell the ammunition to Villains and the antidote to Heroes, and own…
Kyudai Garaki's one-shot reworking of the Quirk-Destroying Drug, left in a hidden cache for his master alone. It undoes every injury a body carries, including the permanent kind, and then it keeps going, because nothing stops the process…
Detnerat-built support gear worn by Koku Hanabata: two bracelets that transform, join together, and close over the face as a mask lined with speakers. It throws his voice far past any microphone, which is the whole point, because his voice…
Denki Kaminari's electricity is strong but indiscriminate, and everyone near him pays for that. The Sharpshooting Gear is the answer U.A.'s support staff built him: a rig that plants markers on chosen targets so his discharge travels…
When Katsuki Bakugo needs to cover ground rather than punch a single hole through it, guns fold out of his back and settle over his shoulders. The Strafe Panzer runs on the same explosive sweat as the rest of his arsenal, and it dies…
The opening round at the Provisional Hero License Exam turns every candidate into a walking scoreboard. Three small disks, worn out in the open where anyone can hit them, decide who advances and who goes home, and the disks themselves work…
Knuckleduster needed something built for one specific enemy, and a broker found it for him. The Taser Knuckle punches like brass knuckles and carries enough current to stop a heart, then reverses itself and starts one again.
The war is over, the Symbol of Fear is dead, and the winners will write the history. Spinner, one of the last of his kind still breathing, refuses to let that stand and decides the only weapon he has left is a book about the friend nobody…
America's most advanced thermonuclear cruise missiles sit unused until the world's strongest Villain gives someone a reason. Star and Stripe can call them down with a word, and the man who approves the launch tells her plainly what it will…
A needle in the neck buys a stronger Quirk and sells off the mind that was steering it. Trigger is the drug that turns ordinary thugs into monsters, funds criminal empires across the globe, and, refined one step further, nearly wipes out…
Humarise calls them Humanity Salvation Devices. What they actually do is blanket a city in gas that hands every Quirk user more power than they can hold, then lets that power kill them. Only the Quirkless walk away, which is precisely the…
The Villains tear out of the cages in three seconds flat and laugh at the Heroes for trying. That reaction was budgeted for. The Troy Defense System was never meant to hold anyone; it was meant to buy the seconds that decide where everyone…
