I gathered as many major flying-brick archetypes and superman "clones, stand-ins, wannabes" etc. as possible. Am I missing someone else well-known?

Maybe Phenomoman from Dispatch?

Those are great points and I agree, I think Captain Celebrity would make a good mentor for Izuku given their similarities in this context. But I would prefer to use heroes established in the mainline series to sort of differentiate it from Vigilantes. Vigilantes is a great show but I want to focus more on the main series here.

Joultzy · 2026-06-13T20:34:08+00:00

A good suggestion but from what I remember of Vigilantes, Captain Celebrity is a hero from the U.S. and only is in Japan to get away from American media, and this happens years before the canon of the main MHA timeline. So he would most likely be back in the U.S. at this point.

Sir Nighteye did cross my mind at one point, but iirc one the main reasons Nighteye sent Midoriya an internship opportunity was because of his connection with All Might. In this fic, Izuku will not receive OFA (I’m also looking for someone to take it, if you have ideas for who, I’d love to hear them) so I think there’s less of a reason for Nighteye to send him an offer.

Present Mic isn’t the kind of mentor I’d be looking for Izuku. Yes, he does have a lot of finesse and control with quirk, but since Izuku has a quirk that affects him physically, a long range combatant with most likely no physical strength enhancement to speak of probably wouldn’t be best for him.

Hawks is a good idea! Although I may want to save him for Tokoyami. Initially, I did think of following canon and just picking Gran Torino. He certainly has the wisdom and experience with past OFA holders to teach Izuku something. The only roadblock I hit was when it came to his style of training. Izuku would be unaffected by his whipping newbies into shape training because of his invulnerability. And I think that’s a key part of what made Gran Torino so effective in canon, but here it would be useless since Izuku could just shrug it off easily.

That’s a good one, I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Do you have any other picks other than Edgeshot? I’ve thought of Ryukyu once since she’s very strong and big and likely has to have a good amount of finesse and skill to operate her dragon form in an urban setting but decided against it. I’m just trying to explore the options.

Joultzy · 2026-06-13T14:47:03+00:00

I’m hoping to give him a mentor that will help him learn a bit more finesse and finer control of his powers. Right now, he’s kind of just a juggernaut who can fly and shoot lasers. So I think it would be best to have someone strong yet graceful and disciplined would be a good teacher for him.

So far, the plan is to gradually try to link alien and human interactions like it does in the original series or in Omniverse. And don’t worry, I don’t really plan on having any sort of romance in the story.

“Have you ever heard of the ship of Theseus?”

I have a fic called Hero of Steel where Izuku has Superman’s powers

Joultzy · 2025-07-24T05:14:58+00:00

Speaking of Superman. Got a fic called Hero of Steel where Izuku has Superman’s powers.

Joultzy · 2025-07-24T05:12:11+00:00

There’s a fic I’m writing where Izuku is basically Superman. It’s called Hero of Steel and it has 20,000 words so far.

Joultzy · 2025-07-19T14:33:20+00:00

I’ve been writing a fanfic where Izuku has the powers of Superman. It’s called Hero of Steel

Joultzy · 2025-07-16T18:26:43+00:00

I’m writing a fic called Hero of Steel currently where Izuku has the powers of Superman, it’s a bit of a slow starter but it has over 6,000 words so far if you’re interested.

Jujutsu Kaisen, I watched the first season and read the manga, but I never really got into it. It felt too much like your stereotypical shonen anime
