Izuku Midoriya: The Sabertooth

In a world where 80% of the population is born with superpowers known as Quirks, Izuku Midoriya was never powerless. He was something far worse.

Born with a Mutation-Type Quirk that grants him razor-sharp claws, enhanced senses, and a healing factor that makes him nearly unkillable, Izuku is a walking weapon-part boy, part beast. His instincts scream to hunt, to survive, to tear through anything that threatens him. But Izuku doesn't want to be feared. He wants to be a hero.

When he earns the top score in U.A. High's brutal entrance exam, the world takes notice. So does the faculty. So do his classmates. Some admire him. Most fear him. And one-Bakugo Katsuki-wants to see him fall.

Under the watchful eye of the cold, calculating Eraserhead and the ever-hopeful Symbol of Peace, Izuku must walk a razor-thin line between control and chaos. Every test is a trial. Every sparring match is a battlefield. And every heartbeat is a reminder that the monster inside him is always waiting.

He wasn't born to be a symbol.

He was born to survive.

But if he can master the beast within, he might just become something more than a predator.

He might become a hero.
