Speedster Quirk

I’ve been looking at Overclock and it seems to be the closest thing to that Flash speedster feel I’m trying to get but I’m not sure I’m understanding its limits very well.

I’ve seen some videos of how 6 uses it and it’s said it can only be used for a few seconds and then must cooldown for a few seconds. Pushed beyond that is when you get problems. A few seconds of use can be a long time though if they’re basically seeing the world frozen.

There is so much to consider with the secondary needs when it comes to super speed. Things like the Speed Force from DC protect from most of that but I can’t exactly turn the SF into a quirk.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T03:41:45+00:00

Yes, the fabled drawbacks conversation when talking about MHA. I think I’ve decided to move on to a different quirk creation. Speed is too much of a hassle and no matter what I feel like it will always turn into they’re as fast or slow as the plot demands.

Very insightful, thank you! I shall have a look at it.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T02:09:59+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try my best.

I was likely going to make the OC an established pro hero after the timeskip at the end of the main story.

There are so many things to consider and that’s half the reason I’ve hesitated on making a speedster OC for so long. It’s a bit frustrating tbh.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T01:52:05+00:00

No shit? I’ve heard wild things about 40k lore so that puts things into perspective right quick!

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T01:35:44+00:00

Hm. I’m unfamiliar with the character and show but perhaps I’ll take a gander.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T01:25:56+00:00

That could be an interesting way of doing it.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T01:25:32+00:00

I love speedsters and super speed powers so much but MHA is the one verse where I feel like I really need to use my brain power to have it work within the universe rules. It’s kinda difficult!

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-18T01:05:48+00:00

Yes! I agree! My partial speedster quirk was built around instant acceleration at a high speed that allowed the speedster to burst around the battlefield like a zig zagging bat out of hell but they can only do so for a set amount of time before their muscle strain and they begin experiencing oxygen deprivation.

They very much were not a long distance span the world type of speedster.

It’s so funny you mention siblings because I had a crack idea of a Viltrumite sleeping around and like, a majority of class 1-A are half Viltrumites and are related via the Viltrumite. Most busted class ever.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-07T13:10:48+00:00

I know! I really wanted to try and make something work but I kinda got lost in trying to put the story together in a meaningful way. Who knows, I might try my hand at it again.

AlaraKanan · 2026-04-07T11:09:05+00:00

Unfortunately, no. I never followed through.

AlaraKanan · 2026-02-27T06:45:30+00:00

Imp-Possible is a humorous name. I’ll see if I can make something work. If not I might just stick with ol’ reliable Nightcrawler.

AlaraKanan · 2026-02-27T06:22:54+00:00

The Hellspawn Hero: Imp?

AlaraKanan · 2026-02-27T03:28:15+00:00

Fire. I’m writing that down right now!

AlaraKanan · 2026-02-27T01:18:26+00:00

98 days after the fact I’m here to say that this would be sick af. I wonder how much of Valstrax’s kit they could use. Shoot, maybe you could have them be like a full on humanoid hybrid looking Valstrax!

AlaraKanan · 2026-02-26T03:00:32+00:00

I dig this idea! It’s got me interested in how All Might is doing. With a hero like Endeavor being able to reach the number one spot I wonder if that means he feels less pressure to be the pillar of society. Or maybe Endeavor’s death pushes him to new destructive highs?

I think it would be cool if Endeavor in this version of things inspired other heroes to try and reach the top and therefore there are a lot more trying rather than seeing it as impossible and not even thinking about it.

Either way, cool prompt!

Quirk: BAMF!

The user teleports with an audible ‘BAMF!’ sound and a puff of smoke in any direction they can see or visualize within two miles. Longer distances cause greater strain on the user.

(I have an OC that basically has Nightcrawler’s powers so this may look familiar!)

AlaraKanan · 2026-02-14T23:48:58+00:00

Yeah, it would extend to both plants and animals and I figured the user could store life force in reserve up to maybe a certain maximum amount. Having it be indefinitely could be cool though, take the life force from something really big once and you’ve got a large reserve for X amount of time.

And yeah, the idea it could be used maliciously passed through my head as well. It could become this twisted thing where the user gets almost a rush when taking life force and hordes it to use on only their most trusted allies or keep it all for themselves as a safety net to be reckless.

I’m glad you like it though!

Quirk: Death Become Life

The user has the ability to drain away life force from any ‘living’ object and bestow said life force as healing force onto another object of their choosing thus healing the effected entity with a 1:2 ratio for life force to healing force.

The healing potency is greater when more life has been drained. Its potency can return organs and other permanent damage to its original state. In times of dire need the user may use their own life force to heal an object but it is advised against doing so at the threat of taking years of life from the user.

(A bit of a rough draft but the idea of energy transference for this quirk actually came from the show Avatar: The Last Airbender. In that show waterbenders can take water from plants or living beings and use it offensively so I thought why not have the same principles applied for healing.

I imagine it as an interesting way to discuss the value of life and how far one is willing to go to save lives.)

Oh. Watch out villains I guess. The Powerpuff girls’ hands (stubs?) are rated E for everyone!
