Bat to the Future: The Other Midoriya
A My Hero Academia Fanfiction
Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless. So was I.
The difference? While he spent his childhood crying into his pillow and writing love letters to All Might, I spent mine getting my ass kicked and learning how to return the favor.
Adopted by Inko Midoriya after my mom passed, I grew up as Izuku’s louder, meaner, infinitely more attractive stepbrother. He wanted to be a hero. I just wanted people to shut the hell up about quirks and let me crack heads in peace.
But the world doesn’t work that way. So I adapted.
And by adapted, I mean I stared fate dead in the eyes, flipped it off, and broke the system. Literally.
One dangerously impulsive, borderline illegal decision later, I unlocked something better than a quirk—a System that lets me break my own limits. My strength, speed, intelligence—it all skyrockets every time I push myself. The catch? If I ever deactivate it, I get hit with every side effect at once.
So I never turn it off.
Now, I’ve got stats that shouldn’t exist, skills that shouldn’t be legal, and a steel bat that’s ruined more lives than student loans. The pros hate me. The villains hate me. Bakugo really hates me.
Between dodging Boom Boom Bitch’s tantrums, robbing villains of their dignity, and giving the Hero Commission stress-induced ulcers, I’m out here rewriting the rules and making an absolute mess of the system.
They wanted another hero? Too bad.
They got me instead.

Perfect for fans of:
- An MC who fights like he found out the world owes him money
- Power systems with loopholes so broken they should be patched
- Fights that make Batman’s ‘no-kill rule’ look like a suggestion
- People getting verbally, emotionally, and physically demolished
-Serious moments immediately ruined by sarcasm, insults, and violence
This isn’t a hero story.
This is a tax fraud case waiting to happen.
And I’m just getting started.

A solid MHA fic with actually good humor but with some slight cringe thrown in.
MC is likable and while arrogant at times it doesnt feel out of place with how the story has been going. Characters feel well done and match canon and the romance doesnt feel forced. Actions scenes are pretty well done and arent overly done to the point of feeling tiring just reading them.
Still early on so hard to say how it will go but so far it's absolutely worth a read.
5/5 for me and will keep an eye on this!

Earlyish review, but it's a great webnovel, actually funny MC, the chars in general actually have depth instead of being background npcs, little to no grammatical errors and the story seems to be going in an interesting direction. Great fanfic def worth a read.
The system in the story is a bit strange, in that on one end it constantly sh*ts on the MC for his words and actions, but at the same time it provides quests that exacerbates his behavior. But I'm assuming that is part of the story so not really a complaint.
