My Villain Alliance
In another world, there are no pro-heroes to save the day because society is ruled by villains.
The emergence of Quirks nearly two centuries ago plunged Earth into another world war. Countless nations entered a superhuman arms race & all but the most powerful governments on Earth collapsed beneath the rise of powerful Quirk users, ushering in a brutal era later known as the Dark Age of Quirks.
Japan is one of many nations that barely survived after WWIII & is now stuck in a new, perpetual cold war between a more totalitarian Japanese government centered around Tokyo & the rising villains fighting to overthrow it.
The villains vastly outnumber the government, but they remain divided into rival gangs, syndicates, mercenary groups, cults, & factions constantly fighting each other for territory, resources, and manpower like the Sengoku warlords of old.
Some infamous villains are mirror counterparts to the pro-heros in canon, such as:
- Anguished = Ms. Joke
- Infamous = Majestic
- Jetstorm = Air Jet
- Laser-Sight = X-Less
- Mr. Bruce = Gang Orca
- Skin n. Bones = Fatgum
- Beachmaster = Selkie
- Catfished = Sirius
- The Wyld Wulf Pack = The Wild Wild Pussycats
- The Stalkers = The Lurkers
- Zero = Lemillion
- Lunatic = Suneater
- Armory = Yoroi Musha
- Oomukage = Centipeder
- Acid Angel = Bubble Girl
And at the top of Japan’s underworld stand the Ten Titanic Tyrants — the mirrorverse equivalent of the Top Ten Pro Heroes.
These kingpins rule massive territories like feudal warlords & consist of:
- One Might — Symbol of Strife / Demon King of Japan = All Might
- Inertia = Endeavor
- Condor = Hawks
- Lifethread = Best Jeanist
- ????? = Edgeshot
- Caerbannog = Mirko
- ????? = Crust
- Trevenant = Kamui Woods
- Whirlpool = Wash
- Dragon Lady = Ryukyu
Each tyrant commands their private armies of villains, but their alliances with each other are fragile and temporary. The government survives largely because the Tyrants spend as much time fighting each other as they do them, if not more.
Since common street thugs are expendable, the Tyrants rely on recruiting skilled, competent minions from underworld training facilities to train competent villains. These “crime colleges” are the mirrorverse equivalent of hero schools.
The most infamous of them all is Axis Underworld, the dark counterpart to U.A. High School.
There, specialists teach aspiring criminals subjects such as manipulation, blackmail, hostage protocol, criminal finance, intimidation, and underworld networking...for a price, of course.
Faculty includes:
- Pencil Neck = Eraserhead
- Chloroform = Midnight
- Shock Jock = Present Mic
- Bludwulf = Vlad King
- Parasyte Eve = Recovery Girl
- Trigger-Happy = Snipe
- Tankor = Power Loader
- Nebulous = Nezu
- Gourmet = Lunchrush
- Soyuz = Thirteen
- Brutalist Maximus = Cementoss
- Binary = Ectoplasm
Axis Underworld and other major crime colleges act as neutral powers balancing both the government and the Tyrants, profiting from the endless conflict while Japan suffers beneath it. And for decades, countless villains dreamed of becoming Tyrants themselves, but most either died or became subordinates to stronger rulers.
Very few succeeded in replacing one of the tyrants, but no one has ever dethrone One Might himself in over 50 years since he defeated the hero, One For All.
Now, however, intelligence agencies have discovered something unprecedented: A new generation of 39 rising villains secretly connected through a single mysterious mastermind.
Among them are:
- Paint it Black = Can't Stop Twinkling
- Predator = Alien Queen
- Toxica = Froppy
- Motormania = Ingenium
- Singularity = Uravity
- Daishipp-oh = Tail-Man
- Conduit = Chargebolt
- Rose Riot = Red Riot
- Beastial = Anima
- Dextrosity = Sugar Man
- Krakentoa = Tentacole
- Livestream = Earphone Jack
- Dispenser = Cellophane
- Amaterasu = Tsukuyomi
- Celsius = Shoto
- Spectra = Invisible Girl
- Nice Guy = King Explosion Murder Dynamight
- Wine Pressed = Grape Juice
- Destroya = Creati
- Deadbolt = Welder
- Drillago = Spiral
- Deathscythe = Jack Mantis
- White Shadow = Vantablack
- Bloody Knuckles = Battle Fist
- Kaijumo = Rule
- Mantagal = Shemage
- Jezebel = Maria/Vine
- Belial = Gevaudan
- Impactor = Mine
- ????? = Rocketti
- ????? = Tsuburaba
- Adamantitan = Real Steel
- Lizard Queen = Lizardy
- Page Master = Comic Man
- Mudslide = Mudman
- Sticky Fingers = Plamo
- Payoff = Phantom Thief
- Sadako = Emily
- Ryumajin = Long Weizi
Normally, these villains would never cooperate, yet every one of them speaks of the same individual. A mastermind whose ambition is not merely to become another Tyrant — but to overthrow One Might himself and unite Japan under a single rule for the first time since the Dawn of Quirks.
The only thing known about him is his name:
Muda = Deku
NOTE: This is a repost of my my old reddit post over a year ago & since the last MHA episode came out, I wished the series delved into more types of plot points that you often see in the American Comic Books that it is inspired by. In this case, the evil, mirror-verse counterparts to the heroes.
