Either! Both! Any and all of the above! I love crime fighting and silly, I'd love to hear anything you have to say about it. I also love any AU that involves weird powers. You have silly power headcanons? Let's hear 'em. Costumed vigilante headcanons? Bring 'em on.
OKAY SO AU WHERE EVERYONE (yes, everyone) MANIFESTS RIDICULOUS POWERS AS THEY GO THROUGH PUBERTY
this is an AU that I already have pretty well thought out so I’m giving a quick s/o to floral-princex who discussed all the powers with me ages ago
some notes: in this AU girls tend to get their powers earlier because they go through puberty earlier. also, it’s not uncommon for someone to get a power for a short time and then lose it before their real power comes in. there’s generally a period of flux before the ability settles, and the age range for settling stretches from about 11 to 25.
other posts about this AU: [x] [x] [x]
Hyuuga: He can make little things teleport. It seems cool, but the range is severely limited, to the point where he only uses it to get his pencil/eraser/notebook out of his bag without having to reach for it. They played with it a lot when it first manifested (last year of middle school) and the furthest he’s ever managed was his eraser to Izuki’s desk, about three rows over and one up from where he sat.
Kiyoshi: The dude smells like flowers literally all the time. It’s incredible (and it changes based on his mood). Riko only claims that she likes him bc he doesn’t stink like the rest of her boys. His manifested pretty early, when he was about twelve, but it faded in and out for a few months before sticking.
Izuki: He???? Can grow these tiny little hands out of any part of his body?? It’s disgusting and hilarious because he’s always saying things like “let me give you a hand with that.” Mostly he uses it to tie his shoes without bending over.
Tsuchida: He blows bubbles out of his nose. He can make bubble donuts (like smoke rings) and cubes and, if he concentrates really hard, he can get them to form chains. He got all kinds of weird powers when his was in flux and it only settled at the end of his first year of high school.
Koganei: His hasn’t settled/manifested yet and it probably won’t until he’s out of high school. His family is full of late bloomers.
Mitobe: He’s a magnet for loose change. If he concentrates he can locate all the dropped coins around. It’s incredible. Kuroko’s just a few yen short for something he wanted to buy from a vending machine and it takes Mitobe about thirty seconds to wander off and come back with enough loose change to buy three drinks.
Furihata: This kid is the funniest, oh god. Okay, so he comes from a p average family (mom can keep ice cubes/ice cream/cold foods from melting, dad can stack any set of objects you give him, brother can whistle several octaves above and below normal human range) and there’s nothing super remarkable about any of their talents, as far as these things go. But poor Furi has been fluctuating from one weird-ass skill to another since he was ten years old. He woke up one morning levitating above his bed, but it wore off before lunch. He’s been able to see through walls and summon gumballs. He’s used to it by now, but the team thinks it’s hilarious that every few weeks he’ll come in with a new talent that’ll disappear in a few days. His current concern is that he swears he heard the neighbors’ dog say good morning to him yesterday and he’s not sure if he wants to become the literal dog whisperer.
Kawahara: He can hold his breath for up to five minutes and grow webbing between his fingers and toes if he’s submerged in water. It’s not something that he really shows off, but it only settled recently and he’s still not entirely sure if it’s going to be permanent.
Fukuda: His hasn’t settled yet either and he’s a little jealous of Furihata and all the cool things he gets to do to be honest.
Riko: She got hers before the guys did (it’s probably linked to puberty - there are scientists for this sort of thing) and she can accurately guess any and all measurements at a glance. Weight? She’s on it. Height? No problem. Square footage of this room? You’d better believe she knows it. Number of jellybeans in a jar? She’ll get it right every time. It makes chemistry super easy for her and you’d think that it would carry over into some kind of baking talent but no, she’s still a disaster in the kitchen.
Kagami: His hasn’t settled yet, as of the end of his first year of high school, but when it does it’ll end up being some kind of temperature resistance. Like, he can pull cookie sheets out of the oven with his bare hands. Oh, and he’ll never have to buy a winter coat again or worry about catching a cold because cold temperatures won’t affect him much either.
Kuroko: His won’t manifest until he’s at least a third year. When it does though it just ups his ability to scare people even more. He basically gains super minor telekinesis that manifests as the same set of skills a ghost would have. He can make lights flicker and doors creak and knock things over from across the room. He thinks it’s hilarious. Kagami thinks it’s wildly unfair.
