Revision as of 12:10, 1 December 2022

League of Villains is a supervillain team that features in My Hero Academia.

History

The League of Villains was a criminal organization that consisted of supervillains that were brought together by the crime lord All For One. The villain was once the criminal mastermind that dominated Japan until his organisation was dismantled by All-Might and his body damaged by the hero. Though weakened, All For One continued to operate from the shadows where he decided to raise Tenko Shimura as his successor. The boy came to be raised to have nothing but hatred for All-Might and a desire to destroy the society of superheroes that emerge following the manifestation of Quirks. In this time, Kurogiri was assigned as an aide and guide to Shigaraki whilst All For One developed a support base of followers for Tomura. After many years, Tomura looked to remind the hero society that the world was a dangerous place and orchestrated an ambitious attack against U.A. High School. The intention was to draw out All-Might into a confrontation with Nomu who was an engineered creation designed to fight the Symbol of Peace. With Kurogiri's power, the League of Villains staged an attack on the school where various villains helped in the assault. Tomura hides behind the crowd of pressers and eventually destroys the school's defensive gate. This gets the media on school grounds and prompts the school's alarms to sound and sends the students into a panic. Tomura uses this as a cover and steals the itinerary for Class 1-A. The schedule details All Might teaching Class 1-A at an off-campus training facility. The League of Villains gather around seventy petty criminals and All For One supplies a strong Nomu for their evil mission. The next day, Kurogiri warps all the villains into the U.S.J. and they begin their assault on the U.A. students. Tomura and Kurogiri are disappointed to find that All Might was not present. The former decides they should attack and draw out All Might. The Rescue Hero: Thirteen tries to evacuate the students while the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head takes on the crowd of villains at the central plaza of the facility. Kurogiri sneaks by Eraser Head and confronts Thirteen with all the students. He announces that this is the big debut for the League of Villains and demanded to know the location of All Might. Eijiro Kirishima and Katsuki Bakugo retaliate but Kurogiri evades their assault and spreads all of the students throughout the facility. The League of Villains plan to split up the students and kill them in the different areas of the arena. The League of Villains severely underestimate the U.A. students as they prove to be more than a match for the low-end criminals. Tomura studies Eraser Head's moves and attacks after finding his weakness. Together, Tomura and Nomu crushed the Erasure Hero whilst Kurogiri incapacitated Thirteen but Tenya Ida managed to escape the facility to recruit reinforcements from the main campus. Kurogiri reported on Tenya's escape to Tomura with this news deeply upsetting the young villain. In his normal sadistic fashion, Tomura tried to leave a pile of dead students behind for All Might and the others to find when they arrive. However, All Might finally arrived at the scene first in order to save the day.
