I know everyone has been curious about Izuku's new quirk. And I know you guys want what his hero alias and suit are.

This is a chapter dedicated to explaining it. To know what power each creature has and what it does, what Izuku can use at the moment, and what powers he will unlock in the future.

But on how he gains these powers, whether he already has it or will get in the future... Well, that's going to be explained in the chapters to come.

(Photos obviously not mine. Got them from Pinterest.)

Let's begin:

As mentioned in chapter 15, Izuku is still essentially quirkless, as this power is not a quirk. It's a chosen manifestation - an ability that awakens through will and determination, and one that, in turn, chose him. More specifically, it's an aspect of choice: an elected manifestation of shadow. Basically, shadow and darkness themselves recognised Izuku and selected him as their bearer. So not a quirk.

Every creature has three distinct abilities. Some are easy to learn, while others demand intense training to master the basics. These powers place a significant strain on the body and can hinder growth, which is why Izuku is currently unable to even attempt them. While each creature can wield its abilities, doing so drains Izuku's energy, so major powers are only ever used when absolutely necessary.

If Izuku's energy is completely drained, he would fall into a coma like state, leaving him completely vulnerable. In such situation, the creatures cannot use their powers, as doing so has a high percentage of endangering his life.

Every creature remains in their smaller form, making it easier for them to move and navigate through the world. They once showed Izuku their true sizes in the shadow and darkness realm - which is an infinite space - where each of them towered over buildings. Ebyssian being the largest of them all, being the size of a mountain.

Erebus's white tipped fur swirls like mist under the moonlight, shifting with every movement and blending seamlessly into the shadows around him. As he prowls, the darkness seems to flow around him, drawn into his presence, while his ghostly white accents glimmer like fleeting moonbeams.

 His three abilities are:

1. Nightpack Manifestation – Summons a spectral pack of shadow wolves that hunt as a coordinated unit. Each wolf can phase in and out of darkness, striking from multiple directions simultaneously. Their attacks are synchronized, and damage is amplified if multiple wolves target the same enemy, overwhelming foes through relentless coordination.

2. Howl of the Black Moon Unleashes a devastating howl imbued with lunar energy that darkens the sky. The howl generates a shockwave of shadowy force, capable of collapsing buildings and shattering defences over a large area. Its intensity grows when the moon is full or eclipsed, making Erebus nearly unstoppable under the night sky.
