Explosive touch: this quirk gives its user the ability to make anything they touch with all five fingers explosive. When this quirk is used a visible orange line begins to spread across the object, wherever the line passed is now highly explosive and if fire is near or is it tapped twice or bumped it will explode. The quirk does not work on liquids however it does work on all solids including animals and humans. The user however is immune to their own quirk. When the quirk is used the affect will transfer to everything touching the originally touched object in a mile radius, meaning that if the user were to touch the floor with all five finger the quirk should spread to everything in a mile radius and essentially create a huge bomb destroying the entire area and everyone in it, luckily the line spreads semi slowly so you have time to run. The downsides of this quirk are, the user cannot willingly turn off the quirk only quirk cuffs or erasure can turn of the quirk, however that does not cancel any current affects it only prevents future ones until the quirk is no longer erased, once an item is touch with all five fingers there is no way to stop the quirk, when the quirk is overused the users hands ache and the user feels exhausted, plus there’s a high likelihood that the explosions from the quirk could have injured the user.
Made this quirk for a new oc of mine Tetsuyo Tsukamoto, he’s on my main blog
Also this quirk is pretty much a mash up of Shigaraki’s decay and Bakugou’s explosions
He sweats nitroglycerin, which is what his explosions are made of, but how are they lit? Does he have a minor fire/spark quirk in addition to the nitroglycerin, or is it a mental telekinesis aspect? Is it just magic? Does he have to snap or something to generate enough heat for the combustion to kick off? Are his hands fire resistant because his quirk is explosions, or does the nitroglycerin form a natural barrier? Can he get nitroglycerin poisoning, or is immunity a side effect of his quirk? Do his cells look different because of the added chemical? Has his body always sweated boom chemicals, or did it come in at four and did he get nitroglycerin poisoning then?
Plastique [My Hero Academia x Reader]: Character Page and Navigation
Name: [Y/N] Bakugo
Hero Name: Plastique
Quirk: Plastique - [Y/N]’s quirk is similar to her younger twin brother in that it causes explosion. Where his explosions come directly from his hands, her quirk sets a detonation on an object while her eyes shift from the natural [E/C] color to a glowing purple hue. The explosion happens when she snaps her fingers after her eyes stop glowing (which is noticed when everything isn’t shaded purple). While her eyes are glowing purple, she can find hidden explosions (she can find her brother), grenades, bombs, and land mines.
Friends: [Y/N] is more of a drifter who never actually had one set group of friends. She’s primarily a member of the Bakusquad. However seeing as she was the nicer of the Bakugo siblings, she had formed a friendship with Izuku Midoriya and has known to hang out with the members of Dekusquad. However, this is mostly when she’s angry with her brother and needs to step away from the more chaotic group.

Questions
No love interest has been decided as of now. So, do you want multiple love interests (with many side love interests and one main one (the one she ends up with at the end) or just one? And who would be involved? I’m will do my favorite boys: Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Shoto Todoroki, Izuku Midoriya, and Hanta Sero.
How far should [Y/N] make it through the Sports Festival?
Who should she intern under during the U.A. Internships? And during that arc, should she help Iida, Shoto, and Izuku with Stain?
Which team should [Y/N] be apart of during the Final Exams? Pass or Fail?
Hi, my name is Ana and I’m an overthinker who’s found her way down a rabbit hole of googling nitroglycerin (NG). I think you know why.
Okay, so apart from the fact that what Bakugou secretes is nitroglycerin-like I have many questions about his quirk.
First thing is that I’m making the assumption that the first thing that makes it nitroglycerine-like is that Bakugou’s producing it organically and it’s not being chemically created. Something in his body is able to transform the food he’s ingesting into the nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon molecules he needs to make NG. That’s function one of his quirk. Other than that, I’m saying everything that I’m saying assuming that the quirk functions like NG.
Which brings me to two main questions. The first is what else is happening to his body in order to make the NG explode? And second is does his body endure the other effects of having NG in it?
Let’s start with the first. Because I ordered them that way. The obvious answer is that his palms must heat up the a temperature that could ignite the NG. But apparently, that’s not entirely how NG works? NG is something known as a contact explosive, a highly reactive one at that, which reacts to shock and/or friction. Heat could definitely provide that, but since liquid NG is very unstable, it seems that probably just a clap of his hands or rubbing them together could probably create an explosion, albeit it wouldn’t really be facing the right direction.
So heat would be the best for direction. Additionally, we never see him having to do anything in order to activate the explosions, so it stands to reason that something is happening internally, not externally. Especially since Bakugou never seems to create explosions by accident (which is a gosh darn miracle, judging by how insanely reactive and unstable NG actually is). So then a facet of his quirk would have to be warming his hands at will. Which begs the question, is he able to warm his hands like that separate from exploding things? It would only be possible if his hands weren’t sweaty but that’s a pretty simple caveat. My guess is yes. But, like with sweat, I imagine this is something that would be limited to his palms. And, btw it explodes at a balmy 218 °C (424 °F). But it seems as though it can explode at everyday environmental temperatures if it heats rapidly. So, my guess is just that Bakugou has to be able to heat it quickly from his regular internal body temperature to something a bit higher, probably not all the way to the explosion temperature.
Sidenote, apparently NG doesn’t create smoke. So there would only be smoke if the explosions caused something else to catch on fire. But Bakugou’s quirk does seem to create smoke so that’s just more argument for the case that it’s not actually NG.
NG isn’t perfect, though. I mean, aside from the fact that Bakugou could never reasonably high five someone or rub his hands together without causing a pretty substantial explosion--and the fact that he’s going to be leaving NG on anything he touches, meaning anything could explode anytime--it also has a very high freezing point. It freezes at 13 °C (55 °F). That’s just an average chilly day! And Bakugou’s going to have frozen NG all over his hands unless he keeps them warm. But, you know, stably warm. Otherwise...boom boom.
And look, I don’t remember what canon says, but some sources describe him as being able to secrete this particular liquid at will. That would solve a lot of our problems. Except that that doesn’t really make sense with what we see in canon? He’s able to use his quirk instantaneously, for one thing, and, for another, Deku explicitly says that the more Bakugou sweats, the stronger he gets. Which means that our boy’s sweaty palms must match the body’s natural sweat mechanisms at least somewhat. So, idk, I still feel like if he’s not washing his hands 24/7 we’re in trouble.
Furthermore, NG degrades very quickly when it’s not frozen. This makes it more unstable. And while I’d like to imagine that something in Bakugou’s NG causes it to degrade into something harmless, and that’s how he functions in everyday life with his quirk, we know that’s not the case, since he’s able to store it in his gauntlets (also, him running around with the stuff splashing in the gauntlets would cause it to explode too so yeah). So he’s just always dripping the dynamite.
And there’s just zero explanation for how Bakugou’s able to withstand these explosions. We know from Deku that the explosions cause quite a kickback, and we can assume that’s why Bakugou’s arms/shoulders are so bulky (yum) but that’s to say nothing about the fact that NG has caused many disfigurements and deaths just to those experimenting with it. Not even talking about the people killed in warfare or with dynamite. I mean, we assume that people’s bodies are largely given natural resistance to their quirks (but not entirely, e.g. Endeavor) but still.
Onto the second thing. NG is actually used as a medication for vascodialation, which is just the dialation of blood vessels. Being around NG (or being around it and then suffering withdrawal) seems to have a number of side effects, but since Bakugou is around it 24/7, he probably didn’t suffer any of these aside from just as his quirk was manifesting. But I wonder if it still serves its medical purpose. Because, look, Bakugou’s young. I assume he’s not suffering from any kind of heart failure and that he doesn’t need his blood vessels dialated. In fact, my guess is that that would cause a major drop in his blood pressure. Except for the fact that this is his situation all the time, so his body must have compensated for that as a kid. But the only way I can imagine that his body increased his blood pressure was to create a lot more blood. I’m not sure if this would have an consequences if he was wounded and lost blood--if it would be more dangerous for him than others--but my guess is that he would lose blood quicker. But I’m literally just guessing here.
But that’s completely moot if the NG isn’t in his bloodstream. Since the sweat and the explosions are only on the palms, it’s possible that whatever is creating the NG is only in the palms as well, meaning he wouldn’t experience any of the effects of taking the drug orally. Unless he ingested it by accident, in which case, if it’s not a normal occurrence, that would possibly give him side effects. The other side effects of just being around NG probably still wouldn’t bother him, though, so that’s good news for our blasty boy.
Then there’s the whole heating of his hands, if that’s a thing, but if Shouto can light his whole left side on fire without so much as burning his hair, I’ll say Bakugou can do whatever he wants with his big ol’ hot potato hands.
So, basically, Bakugou’s quirk makes no sense. Even if we take out the fact that it should have blasted him to bits a long time ago, it just doesn’t make sense that he can go around with traces of NG on him all the time. I mean, if you hit a drop of that with a hammer, it explodes. If you jumped on a spot that Bakugou sweat on, you’re blast to kingdom come. And then there’s the fact that he got this quirk from his parents (glycerin from his mom, nitric acid from his dad. Romantic.) But neither of his parents have a heating ability. So we still have a lot of question marks around how he’s able to control his explosions at will, both around how he got the means to create heat, if that’s indeed what he does, and how he keeps from exploding every time he smacks a mosquito off his arm.
I’ll be trying to think up a headcanon altering his nitroglycerin-like substance into something that would be functional in everyday life and in battle, but right now I’ve got nothing. This quirk is just wack.
But hey, at least the fandom is right about the burnt sugar taste. If it is NG, that is.
Which, you know, it must not be.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about chemistry beyond the 2% of information I haven’t forgotten from sophomore year honors chem. I know nothing about medicine except for what my mother tells me to do when I’m sick.
For the life of me, I cannot draw Iida. I am so sorry.
For the Jumbled AU, best boy Iida gets Bakugou’s exsplosion quirk. All Bakugou had to say about the costume is ear protection.
Instead of Bakugou’s oversized gauntlets, Iida has these metal wrist bands that kinda do the same thing but not as powerful. I changed this mainly because, realistically speaking, Bakugou should be overheating ALL THE TIME!!!
