“Izuku has dreamed of being a hero his entire life—a noble goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid without superpowers. That's right, in a world where 80% of the population possesses some kind of 'superpower', Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that wasn’t enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the most prestigious hero academies in the world.”
