All Men aren't created equal.
A fact that was instilled into me by society at the ripe age of four. And that was and will be my first and last setback.

What if there was a world where powers were the norm?

It all began in China where there was news announcing that there was a birth of a glowing baby. Ever since then superpowers were discovered in various places...

And time passed by without being able to explain the cause of this phenomena. And very quickly the supernatural became normal and childhood dreams soon came into reality.

The current society is composed of super people. And about 80% of the world's population has their own "Unique physical constitution" and we call these unique constitutions Quirks. In this world where there's chaos lurking in every corner. The profession once everyone dreamed about came into the limelight and they were called heroes.

Along with superpowers came an explosive increase of crime rates. Then heroic people took things upon themselves and perform heroic acts straight out of comic books. Guarding against supervillains and defending against evil. Heroes were soon accepted by the public and was established as an official profession. And based on their performances, they are paid by the government and gain fame amongst the masses.

This is my story. This is how I became the world's number 1 hero.

The day begins like any other for Izuku Midoriya and his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo, they watched an old video of a hero in the internet, a disaster that happened a long time ago. The video of a hero that debuted right after that, seeing him save people which inspires them both to pursue being heroes when they grow up.

"Can you see that?? That man already saved a hundred people and not even 10 minutes have passed, that's crazy" The injured man in the video blurted out.

Soon came into view a silhouette of a big burling man carrying multiple injured civilians on his back to safety "HA HA HA HA HA" The big muscled man laughed.

"HE'S LAUGHING!" blurted out by the injured man from before.

"It's fine now. Why?" Stated by the muscled hero carrying the injured civilians "Because I am here!"

"Man Kacchan All Might really is cool huh? Do you think we'll be like him in the future? Cus I'll definitely be like him when I get my quirk and I'll save lots and lots of people!" The boy with green fuzzy hair excitedly exclaimed.

"Think? Nah I definitely will be like him, infact I'll be better and reach even further than him and be the world's number one hero and you can be close second to me Izuku" The boy with blonde spiky hair confidently declaring this statement whilst his arms are crossed.

"This is why you're so cool Kacchan" Izuku once again excitingly exclaims how cool Bakugo is while having his arms up.

"Hehe I know" Bakugo brushing his finger underneath his nose for the comment "But hey Izuku when do you think our quirks will kick in?" Bakugo asks curiously.

"Well our moms say that quirks come around our age, 4 years old, so it might come tomorrow!" Izuku excitingly explained answering Bakugo's question.

"If our quirks come tomorrow Izuku it's definitely gonna be something cool and strong for sure, but of course mine would be cooler" Bakugo confidently proclaims.

The next day came and this revelation ultimately changed Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo's lives

"IZUKU! IZUKU! MY QUIRK! MY QUIRK FINALLY CAME! I HAVE MY QUIRK!" Bakugo excitedly screamed whilst running and knocking on Izuku's front door.

"Come on Kacchan it's 7am in the morni-" Before Izuku could finish his sentence Bakugo immediately shows his quirk

Sounds of crackling and popping like small little explosions coming from Bakugo's palms "Pretty cool ain't it?" Bakugo's nose flares in confidence.

"HOW?! that's so cool Kacchan they're like little fireworks on your hands" Izuku exclaimed, his eyes lighting up from excitement and awe. "My mom will be bringing me to the Doctor later and have me get have a examination for when my quirk might manifest" Izuku added on.

"Well whatever your quirk might be it won't be as cool as mine hehe" Bakugo smirkingly comments.

"Well we'll see about that" Izuku retorts "It's definitely gonna be cooler and stronger than yours".

Time passes by and Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mom, brings Izuku to the hospital to ask about the doctor for when his quirk may manifest. But little did this young boy know that this will be his first and last discouragement of his dream.

"You should definitely give up" The doctor sighing stating this revelation "I'm sorry to give this news but your son doesn't have any quirk at all".

"I won't g-get a q-q-quirk?" Izuku cryingly blurted out whilst looking at his mom "But but but my dream? I was supposed to be the future number one hero".

"So is there something wrong with him after all? Most of the other kindergarteners have already manifested their quirks, he's the only one..." Inko pauses.

"Excuse me but you're fourth generation, right ma'am? May I ask about your quirk?" The doctor asks.

"Yes of course, I can pull small objects to me" Inko states whilst pulling a small toy that Izuku brought "While my husband can breathe fire".

"Normally at the age of four he would have manifested one of those quirks, or some combination of the two" The doctor explained.

"In the past whenever superpowers started showing up, the results of an early research study was published. It became common practice to see if the pinky toe was missing a joint or not" The Doctor adds on "When parts of the body aren't used and are deemed unnecessary. People who had the missing joint were thought to be the newly evolved form"

"You can see by looking at this X-Ray that Izuku has two joints that should be missing for people who are super abled" The Doctor states whilst pointing at the x-ray. "It's unusual to see that these days but I'm sorry to say that means he won't ever manifest a quirk".

Later this evening Izuku and his mother come home from the hospital.

Dark clouds surrounded the area, sounds of heavy pitter-pattering water droplets fall from the sky, and heavy drumming of the rain muffling the cries and anguish of a boy whose dreams were crushed.

"HA HA HA HA HA" The big burling man from the video before plays once more "It's fine now, Why? Because I am here".

"M-mom.." Izuku calling for his mom with tears in his eyes "Do you think I c-can be like him too?"

"Izuku I'm s-sorry I'm sorry" Inko cries out in anguish for her son.

No mom.. that wasn't the thing I needed to hear at the time...
