I was born into a wealthy family of techies who helped revolutionize our world. My parents wanted to help people around the global through advanced tech that could save lives, improve one's health, and ensure children could reach adulthood. Unfortunately that line of work attracts unsavory people who want to keep people like that down...and they took my family from me. Sabotaging their plane I found out what happened as I was working on our next invention. Losing my parents was hard, but I didn't give up on our dream to help people.
Having graduated college at 16 I put my brain to use helping those in need. As one would expect I got carried away with helping, and that is what ended up killing me. Putting the people first I wore myself out till I died. As my soul float along with others going to an unknown destination I was pulled out from the others, and met a man who introduced himself as God. Telling me he was touched by how hard I had worked for the less fortunate without demanding anything in return, he allowed me to reincarnate in a world of my choosing with a single wish as well.
"I want to reincarnate in the My Hero Academia world...as Superman.", I said.
"I see, a world like that would benefit from your kind heart. There is no issue with that, but I must warn you that your powers will not be transmittable to your children. It is far to dangerous to allow that to happen as I assume you can imagine.", he said.
"It would be nice to know it can't be stolen or blocked as well.", I chuckled.
"That is child's play.", he chuckled, "Any other tweaks?"
"I would like to be born into a similar family...not Momo's.", I said.
"Haha, you want a family like you had. I think that is easy enough to arrange.", he said with a smile, "Alright then, go forth and continue your good work!"
Next thing I knew I was looking up at a hospital ceiling. Realizing that I was an infant, I started looking around the room only to find a man in a suit nearby and a beautiful woman cradling me in her arms.
"Thomas he is beautiful.", my mother said.
"Of course he is Martha, he takes after you.", Thomas said.
"Oh dear, you are so sweet.", Martha giggled.
"No flipping way...", I thought, "He didn't make Batman's parents-"
"Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, we just finished running all the necessary tests on your son. Everything is absolutely normal, but...well we weren't able to draw any blood. Your son's skin is too strong for our needles to pierce. We did verify that everything else was fine though rest assured, he did destroy one of our machines though.", the doctor said looking at me.
"What do you mean?", Thomas asked.
"Your son accidentally hit our Quirk Detection machine, crushing it like a soda can.", he replied.
"Haha!!! That's my son alright!!!", Thomas laughed picking me up, "Just like your old man, and grandfather!! Tough as nails and strong as an Ox."
"Dear please be careful.", Martha said.
"Haha, no need to worry dear.", Thomas laughed, "There isn't anything to worry about!!"
"Dear I don't think you realize you are floating.", Martha laughed.
"Huh?", he replied looking down, "Dear Lord our son can fly too!!! No one in my family can do this!!!"
"Sir...if you would calm down for a moment.", the doctor said, "Your son appears to have several quirks."
"Several!?", my parents gasped.
"Yes, it is very unusual to see so many naturally.", he continued, "Your son is the only one we can find records of having this many quirks."
Calming myself down so my Dad could reach the floor again I listened to what he had to say. Listing off all the powers Superman had like heat vision, cold breath, and many more I was surprised God made them individual quirks. He was even kind enough to give me Superman's intellect which combined with knowledge made me one of the most intelligent people in the world. Of course no one realized that I had a college level education already this it would be a long road to getting out of school again.
"Not only that...I have to go through puberty again.", I thought, "Will it be any different here I wonder?"
"So what your saying is our son will be a Gifted Child?", Martha asked.
"Extremely gifted, in fact I would wager he will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.", the doctor said.
"You aren't insinuating our son will be a criminal, are you!?", Thomas snapped.
"I would never!", the doctor replied in shock, "I am meaning as a force for good! Your son could become a beacon of hope for the masses with his Quirks. It is my strong recommendation that he attend U.A High School in Japan when he comes of age. They specialize in helping youth learn how to use their Quirks, and for someone with as many as he has I must strongly recommend he goes."
"I can agree, it is important that he learns how to control his Quirks.", Martha said.
"Agreed, we will hire trainers to help him learn how to control them till then.", Thomas said.
A few days later they took me home, and I got meet the butler...Alfred. Giggling as I saw him I realized that this life would be exciting.
"Shit I could be both Batman and Superman!!", I though, "That would be difficult given all my Quirks. Darn it, I would love to drive the Batmobile around and catch criminals!! I couldn't date women that often back on my world, but I know they'd swoon if I picked them up in it. Guess I could still make it, just can't use it for crime fighting since I can fly and run faster than the speed of light. First things first, have to work on controlling my powers. Superman had issues with his super hearing as he could hear everyone insulting him, and read their thoughts to some extent. I don't want to have to deal with that crap...I know what people will think of me."
Growing up in a wealthy household I had people acting like my friends, but they only wanted money. It took a while for me to realize it, once I did I cut myself off from them. Afterwards I found out they spread nasty rumors about me which my parents took action against. Getting those children thrown out of school for spreading false rumors my parents told me that people like them were the cause of many of our world's problems.
"I just hope I don't meet too many of them.", I thought.
Following the doctors recommendation my family moved to Japan, and started working out of the Japanese branch office. Even though my father was a multi-billionaire he always made sure to make time for my mother and I. Coming home everyday at 5pm like clockwork, he would greet us with a smile and hug. Even though my skin was touch feeling his facial hair was uncomfortable, but I got used to it. Having lost my parents before this was something I wouldn't fuss about...because once they are gone you realize what you lost.
--------- 5 Years Later ----------
The first five years were really painful. As their only son they babied me throughout those years. Anytime I would try to practice using my Quirks they would show up with a camera in case I did something cute. While it was nice they were happy to be parents...it was awkward to have them watching me all the time. What was more awkward was having my ass wiped by someone other than me.
As soon as I was able to walk around, and sit on the toilet I started doing so making sure to lock the door. The first time I forgot to do it my mother snapped a picture of my sitting on the toilet for her photo album. She had a big book already filled with pictures of me that would prove to by my Kryptonite if exposed to the public...let alone any romantic interests I would have.
Eventually I managed to start getting time to myself where I worked on tuning out the voices and thoughts of others. It took me the better part of a year to achieve it because I had no prior experience doing it. After that I worked on strength and endurance training using my Dad's car collection as weights. Needless to say I started out with work project cars first to understand how much force was need to grip and lift them. The first few attempts I bent the car frames accidentally, and fortunately my father didn't notice as they were junkers to begin with.
On his days off, and at night my father would show me how to work on cars and various other things. My father ran a very successful tech company like my parents had done in my last life. Unlike them though Thomas and Martha didn't use their money outside their company to help people. What I mean is they didn't donate to outside organization. My parents put their employees so they got great benefits, good retirement plans, and were treated very well. Even in Japan they forbid employees from working more than 45 hours a week. From what I heard the employees say all of them were extremely happy with their jobs. Sure there were always a few hiccups, but they would rather work there than anywhere else.
On my fifth birthday my parents hired Hero Instructors to come in, and help me control my Quirks. Unbeknownst to my parents I didn't need them, and when I tried to argue all it got me was a plate of brussel sprouts as punishment. So I begrudgingly started taking lessons from them since I tested out of Preschool...something I didn't think was possible. Surprisingly the only teacher that stuck around after being beat up by me was Gran Torino. I didn't realize he had retired already, but I understood given his age.
"You certainly are strong, intelligent, and quite restrained for a five year old.", he said, "You sure you aren't older?"
"The doctors says I have brain of a thirty year old.", I said calmly, "I can understand you'd find that strange."
"Haha, I hope you aren't use that cute face to act like one with the women at your Dad's office.", he teased.
"No, they give me a lot of candy though.", I said with a grin.
"I suppose they would do that, wouldn't they.", he chuckled, "Well there isn't really a lot I can teach you. That said I can think of something that you definitely need to consider with your monsterous power...what do you want to do with your life? I understand you may have a high intelligence, but I have met many intelligent people that see this world as beyond saving. How do you see it?"
"That's a deep question...you sure that's something you should be asking a 5 year old?", I asked.
"A normal one, no.", he stated, "You are the irregular I would ask."
"Well...I don't think it's beyond saving, but I don't think there will ever be real peace.", I said.
"What do you mean?", he asked.
"I am about to blow your mind.", I thought, "Evil will always exist in the hearts of men. No matter what you do someone somewhere will be upset, and cause trouble to some degree. Unfortunately some folks down stop at verbal arguments, and proceed to more cruel means. For example, some parents may view their child's Quirks as a pain. Most will live with it, but some parents will abuse their children for something they can't control. We don't pick our Quirks, they pick us. I was fortunate to have loving parents, I could have very easily ended up in a family where my parents were petrified of my Quirks."
"I see what you mean.", he said, "You are right, there are people that will fear you just because of your Quirks."
"I don't think it's brute strength that can keep the darkness away. It's the little things done by everyday folk that keeps it away.", I said, "Simply taking the time to help an elderly person across the streets, or stopping a bully from picking on the weak...those things have more power than you realize."
"Hmm...I think they got the age wrong on your noggin. That isn't something a thirty year old would think let alone a five year old.", he said, "What do you intend to do?"
"Befriend those that are willing to be my friend, and treat them as equals regardless of their wealth or status. Our wealth and power can disappear overnight, but what's in our heart won't be easily forgotten.", I stated.
"This child...", he thought, "If Heroes had half of his wisdom our world would be a better place."
"Dude I stole all that from books in my previous life.", I thought, "I can drop some other wise words too."
"Anything else?", he asked.
"If a mosquito lands on your testicles you quickly learn that not all things can be solved using violence.", I said with a smirk.
"Hahaha!!!!", he said falling on his ass, "Kid you are definitely going to be a Great Hero!!"
"Haha...I don't think humor will defeat people.", I thought.
Speaking to my parents for me, Gran Torino suggested instead of a Hero Instructor that instead pursue martial arts. Stating that it would teach me discipline, self-control, and responsibility all at once they approved of this. As a man with both Intelligence and Strength Enhancing Quirks his father had put him martial arts training as well so he understood the value the training would give me. Of course my father assumed my strength was just on the upper end of Super Human, he had no way of knowing humanity would never see an equal to me in strength before they ascended to Heaven.
At first I thought the martial arts training would be boring, but it turned out to be the opposite. I ended up running into several of the characters that were in the storyline as I knew it. As a precaution for their daughters many families had started putting their girls through basic self-defense training. This meant I ended up meeting a few of the cast earlier.
"Hello!", Momo said running over to me.
"Hello...", Ochaco said to me softly.
"Hello, my name is Clark Wayne.", I said shaking their hands, "It's nice to meet you both."
"Oh you are Thomas Wayne's son?", Momo's father asked.
"Yes sir, our butler Alfred brought me today because mom and dad are busy.", I said.
"You have a butler!!", Ochaco and Momo gasped with excitement.
"Yep he is super cool!", I said going with the flow.
Not only were these two here, but the blue haired girl Nejire was also here. It was a small class, but I wasn't going to complain. Boom Boy wasn't here so that was all that mattered to me, he and I would butt heads for sure. Deku...as long as he kept the screaming to a minimum I figured we would get along alright.
"Alright kids, let's get to training.", our teacher said with a grin, "First off let's have you pair up, and see where you stand now."
Obviously the boys chose other boys because they saw the girls as weaker. It's the same which ever world you went to probably, but I didn't care. Pairing up with Ochaco she seemed rather shy about this whole thing...maybe even nervous.
"That's right...she became a Hero because she needed money to help her family.", I thought, "I can understand that...seriously though, Stain would happily kill people like her because of that reasoning. Dumbass takes being a Hero far too seriously, you can't expect everyone to be like All Might. I think it's more important that you aren't corrupt, not what reason your a Hero."
Telling her I would take it easy on her, she ran up and pushed me as hard as she could. Before I even touched her she cowered in a panic, not because she knew my Quirks but because she thought I'd hit her. Poking her forehead I played it off like that was all I could do. Smiling at me with relief she calmed down realizing I wouldn't be a dick like the other boys were. It wasn't only her who saw that's but the other girls too.
"What's the big idea!?", a few of the boys shouted at me, "This place is meant for fighting, not playing house!"
"It's called being nice, maybe you should learn it.", I retorted, "Bullying isn't nice."
"Oh so your going to stand up for her?", they snickered, "She is only here because she got a scholarship. If she didn't have that money she couldn't be here!!"
Knowing that they were right Ochaco hid her face.
"Damn these kids are pricks.", I thought.
Walking up to the boy that was leading the group, I stared him down.
"Don't be mean to her!! She is doing her best, that's all that matters.", I stated.
"Oh boohoo.", he laughed, "What are you-"
Punching him in the face, I sent him barreling into his friends as they spread out like bird shot. Rolling on the floor crying he covered his right eye with his hands. I didn't strike him hard enough to break anything, but he would have a black eye.
"Don't be mean to her again!", I said, "It's not nice picking on people working hard to better themselves! Next time I won't be so nice to you!!"
Watching from the seating area Alfred smiled at me. Knowing my parents would be proud for standing up for the girl, he also knew I would be punished...maybe. Running over to her son his mother started shouting at me saying I shouldn't have hit him.
"I am sorry, but he shouldn't be rude to women. My daddy says men should be gentlemen to them. If I did that to a girl my daddy would spank me.", I stated.
"What my son does is none of your concern.", she snapped.
"Then he can deal with the consequences.", I stated, "Now he knows not to pick on people."
Staring at me in shock his mother didn't know how to respond. Stifling a laugh, Alfred knew who I got that line from...my Dad. Shaking his head he knew what would happen when my mother found out. Walking away instead of provoking them more I patted Ochaco on the head.
"You are doing a good job.", I said, "Don't listen to him, as long as you gain something from this there is no shame on how you got here. If they pick on you again, I will teach them not too."
"Okay...", she said shyly.
"Oh my...I hope his mother doesn't hear of this. The boy is a bit too young to be flirting with girls.", Alfred sighed thinking to himself.
For the rest of that class period the boys stayed away from me. Seeing what I did to the other boy, none of them felt they could take me. The girls decided that I would be fun to play with so they asked to meet up at the park the following day. Looking to Alfred he nodded his head knowing my parents would approve since I would be with kids my age.
That evening my mother and father told me that they were proud I protected someone, but said that violence wasn't always the right course of action. Sure I could have just walked away, but they tried to humiliate her. Of course I was going to deck him, he should be grateful I didn't break his nose. Approving the play date my parents were thrilled I was making friends though they wished they were boys instead of girls. My overprotective mother was already thinking of running background checks on the girls in case they had criminal records. The fact she was going to do that made me worry about my future. I didn't want my mother to background check everyone I befriended.
"Clark, over here!!", Nejire shouted from the playground.
Running at normal speed to them, they threw a ball at me asking to play four square. Bouncing the ball around for a bit we switched to playing tag, and boy did those girls smack me. Everytime Momo and Nejire would tag me they pegged, only Ochaco kept it reasonable. After tag we played in the sandbox making castles out of sand. A little ways away I saw Boom Boy and Deku following each other around...well Deku following him anyways. Boom Boy wasn't too happy about it, but Deku still followed him.
"What you guys doing?", Mina shouted excitedly as she ran over to us.
Tripping on a root she few head first into my face. The impact didn't register with me, but to her it was like hitting a wall. Rolling around on the sand shouting in pain she looked at me like I had done something. Sighing I patted her head saying I was sorry I didn't move out of the way.
"We are building sand castles.", Momo said.
"Oh cool!!", Mina said acting like nothing had happened.
Joining us later on several other kids joined in, and helped us make a fort. As we were playing though a Villain had entered the park. Hearing the police sirens way off in the distance I looked up, and saw a man dressed like a pirate running this way. Not remembering a villain like him I wasn't sure what his Quirk was. A few moments later people started fleeing the area.
"Move out of the way Land Lovers!!", he shouted.
"Dresses and talks like a pirate...", I thought.
Drawing a cutlass off his hip he started whipping around sending air blades everywhere. Ducking for cover people laid down trying to avoid being hit. Alfred and the other children's parents ran over to get us before he got close. Unfortunately for Deku, he was too scared to flee and the pirate was almost on him. Using my Super Speed I got in front of Deku, and blocked two of the blades that would have sliced him up. Before he could get more blades out, I was in front of him.
Grabbing his blade I shattered with a wave of my pinky, and punched him in the gut stealing his consciousness. Falling to the ground in a crumpled mess I waited for the police to arrive before relaxing. Too many times Heroes dropped their guard, and allowed their confidence to blind them of the real danger criminals pose. I wasn't going to back down till he was cuffed, and once he was I went to see how Deku was. Before I got to him though his mother arrived to make sure he was okay.
"Thank you very much!!", she said to me, "You aren't hurt are you?"
"I am fine.", I said.
"Master Clark!!", Alfred said running over to check on me, "Please don't do something that reckless again!! I couldn't face your mother if something were to happen to you!!"
"I know, but he was in danger.", I said.
"Leave the saving to the Heroes.", he said.
"There isn't a Hero here.", I said motion around us, "Someone had to save him, I wasn't going to let him get hurt if I could prevent it."
"Master Clark...", Alfred sighed.
"Just like my mother would be sad if something would happen to me, his mother would be just as sad if it happened to him.", I stated.
"Thanks for the assistance kid, but next time don't meddle in police business.", the asshole cop said.
"Then don't chase villains towards innocent people.", I retorted, "If I didn't step in which of you was going to take responsibility for his injuries?"
My statement put the cops in an awkward position. It was their fault they chased the criminal into the park...they hadn't even called in a Hero either. None of them would take responsibility for any injuries, but admitting that was as good as signing their termination papers. If word got out that they said that their precinct would be put under heavy scrutiny, and that wouldn't be comfortable.
"Fine kid you got us there, we will take him in.", they said.
Using X-ray vision, I noticed that two of the cops had the same tattoo the villain had. When I saw that I started to see how these villains were getting out so easily. Some cops were on the payroll...these assholes were making easy for the villains to escape so they could be caught later ensuring they kept their jobs. Calling them out now would get me nowhere...they would deny it, and simply cause more trouble than it was worth. As I went to walk away I heard one of the mutter under their breath.
"I told him to go pester some elderly folks damn it.", one of them said under their breath.
"What was that?", I asked turning back to them.
Looking back at me the two men froze.
"One of my Quirks is Super Hearing, you just said you told that Villain to hassle elderly people.", I said.
"You must be hearing things...", the cop said.
"I also have X-ray Vision, you have that man's crest tattooed on your right shoulder...same as him.", I said.
Instead of trying to make an excuse the two dropped the villain, drawing their pistols as they did. Whoever they were working for would likely kill them if they were caught so killing us all, and blaming the villain was the best way to ensure that didn't happen. Letting them draw their pistols so it was clear to everyone they intended to kill us, I flew into them then slammed them into their cruiser. Knocking them unconscious I showed the proof to their comrades who all looked mortified. Not only did they look mortified, but the civilians also did. The fact the villains might have inside help never occurred to them so seeing it now was terrible.
"Good Lord!", Alfred said immediately calling my father, "I will alert your father of the situation. He has the mayor on speed dial, and will see that this is remedied immediately."
The other parents and children were also shocked that I had taken three full grown men out myself. My family didn't make the number of Quirks I had public so I understood how they might see this. Expecting to lose some friends, I was shocked to hear the first thing out of Nejire's mouth.
"Does this mean that you can travel the world really quickly?", she inquired.
"I am quick.", I said.
"So you could go to Hawaii without any issue?", she asked as an example.
"Very easily.", I stated.
"Mother, can Clark take us there?", Nejire asked.
"Dear, you do realize that Hawaii is far away.", her mother said, "I am sure Clark is just-"
Running there and back before she finished, I handed Nejire a coconut. Shaking it around to hear the water inside she smiled knowing that it was fresh from the tree. Handing Ochaco, Momo, and Mina sea shells their eyes lit up with excitement as they had yet to visit the beach. Looking at the shells the parents asked where I got them. Saying I had gotten them from Hawaii, I ran back and brought a calendar back.
"Oh my...he is really quick.", Nejire's mother said with surprise.
"Come on let's go play again!", Mina said pulling me along like nothing had just happened.
Staying for only another thirty minutes, my mother ordered me home where I was lectured about not being reckless. Still she appreciated that I only acted in defense of someone else. While father was happy too, he was outraged by the report he heard from Alfred. Needless to say my father marched down to the mayor's office, and demanded answers. Threating to sue the city for endangering the public and me, he demanded that there be an independent review of the police force.
Unsurprisingly the mayor did as he said, and just as he announced it nearly a third of the force quit or retired. The public reaction was no better either, the fact that a child had to step in for a Hero made them quite angry. It didn't matter that I was uninjured, to them it shouldn't have happened. When the information about the incident prior to that encounter was made public...it became a political bloodbath. It came out that only half of the force was calling in Heroes when they really needed them. Not only that, but the two cops I caught were tied to a series of murders that no one had been able to solve because those two had been destroying evidence. It even came out that the mayor had been purposefully covering for certain criminals in the city.
"I can believe they had the nerve to say my son shouldn't have stepped in!", Thomas muttered a month later, "Blasted morons, if they did their jobs he wouldn't have needed to save that poor boy. I am sure he is mortified after what happened."
"Not really...my actions spurred him to start doing exercises.", I thought, "Even the girls started working out outside of class, and Mina joined the class too."
"Clark, what are you thinking about?", Martha asked.
"Going to school...do I really need to go?", I replied, "Can't I test out, and just shadow father and you?"
"No Clark, just because you are smart doesn't mean you can skip out on a social life.", Martha stated, "You are going to go to school, listen to what the teachers say, and make friends. While I think the girls are all nice, you need to make some boy friends too."
"I have Deku.", I stated.
"One male friend isn't enough.", Martha sighed, "You can't have a sleep over, or only spend times with him. Clark you need to broaden your horizons."
"She is starting to sound desperate. My room is far from theirs so it isn't like they can't go at while I am home. Maybe...could it be she wants me to have a bunch of friends over so she can show those pictures!?", I thought, "Oh gosh if the girls so those pictures any manliness I have goes out the fucking window!!"
"Clark?", Martha asked.
"Sorry, just thinking who else I could befriend.", I stated.
"What about that spikey haired boy that Deku follows around.", Martha asked.
"No thanks...he is crazy, loud, and obnoxious. Every time he sees me he has to try to fight me.", I stated.
"What about Endeavor's son?", Thomas asked, "He is your age."
"I have thought about it.", I said, "I don't know how to approach him, he is pretty cold. Is there something going on in his family?"
"We will tell you when your older.", they immediately stated.
"I guess telling me that his father is a jackass that started having kids to make someone that could surpass All Might could be a bit difficult to say...especially since his Dad made his mother have a mental breakdown.", I thought, "Dealing with him at the Games is going to test my patience. His Dad is going to paint a target on me for Shoto...I know it."
"Martha I think it is good to let him experience life the way he wants. As you said there is nothing wrong with the friends he already has, not like they are criminals.", Thomas said, "All of them come from respectable families, and if he wants to make female friends let him. Clark, just realize that the closer you get the more difficult it will be for you in the future."
"What do you mean?", I stated playing the fool.
"Well you see-"
"Not another word Thomas.", Martha scowled, "No one is going to be taking my son from me, won't happen now or twenty years from now."
"Oh boy...", I thought, "Dad just had to go there."
"Come now, he is a boy and eventually he will take an interest in that sort of thing.", Thomas said, "It is better to be honest than hide it from us."
"I don't care, he can't date till he is married.", Martha said, "Some hussy out there is going to take advantage of him, and try to take his inheritance."
"Mother...if only you knew I intend to make a harem. With the money I will have in the future bringing this world into a new age of tech, I will easily be able to provide for several women comfortably.", I thought, "For goodness sakes grandpa has two of them, and several mistresses."
Take me to school the next day, I ended up in kindergarten with all of them aside from Nejire as she was older.
