History
Nomus was the name given a number of individuals that were engineered to be living weapons. Their origins were traced to the villainous crime lord known as All For One who had the ability to steal Quirks which he either kept for himself or imparted them to others. After being injured, he remained in the shadows for years and performed experiments to transform people into artificial humans that obeyed his orders. These were creatures that were referred to only as Nomu and had no personality of their own with them simply following the orders of a superior. Typically, they had a number of Quirks installed in their bodies and were considered powerful enough to challenge heroes.
A Nomu accompanied Tomura Shigaraki and Kurogiri in their attack against the U.S.J.. Arriving via portal, the villains staged a large scale attack against the hero school with the Nomu's great strength allowing him to easily subdue the pro Eraser Head. This saw the students attempting to intervene where Izuku Midoriya attempted to take out Shigaraki but the Nomu intercepting the strike with its shock absorption Quirk. It was only the arrival of All-Might that turned the tide of the battle where Shigaraki revealed that Nomu was created to defeat the No. 1 Hero. Despite its Quirks, the Nomu came to be overwhelmed by All-Might's strikes and he defeated the creature which came to be arrested by the police. This led to the authorities uncovering the true nature behind the Nomu and that originally he was just a small-time criminal whose body was modified to hold multiple Quirks. Their investigation led to them discovering a connection between the Nomu and All For One.
After All For One's defeat, a High-End Nomu was activated by the Hidamari Kindergarten where he went forth to complete his master's mission for him. This involved attacking the strongest hero at the time with this being the new number one pro hero named Endeavor who was meeting with a comrade named Hawks. Despite his power, Endeavor struggled in destroying the High-End Nomu who nearly killed him until he used a concentrated Prominence Burn attack that killed the intelligent hooded villain.
