The Magnus estate in Geneva was quiet under the dim glow of the moonlight, save for the faint rustle of papers in the study. Seated at an antique desk, Adrian Magnus traced his finger over a map of Europe, his gaze sharp and calculating. Born into one of the continent's most politically powerful families, Adrian had always been expected to excel. But no one—not even his parents, the influential Alexander and Isabella Magnus—knew the truth about him.
Adrian wasn't an ordinary young man. He was a reincarnator, a soul reborn into this world with memories of a past life where superheroes, mutants, and worlds of fiction had existed only in stories. But the most extraordinary part wasn't his memories—it was his ability. Which he dubbed the "Dimensional Nexus," Adrian's power allowed him to traverse the very worlds he once thought fictional. It started when he was ten, a mere child curious about the boundaries of his reality. His first trip had been an accident, a desperate escape from the suffocating expectations of his life. But what he found on the other side changed everything.
His first destination was the world of X-Men, a universe the battle between Professor Xavier's dream and Magneto's ambition was yet to start. There, he met Young Erik Lehnsherr—Magneto himself. Recognizing Adrian's potential and hearing his promises of freedom from persecution, Magneto agreed to follow him, becoming his first recruit. It was a turning point.
In the years that followed, Adrian perfected the use of his ability, carefully selecting individuals from across dimensions who could serve his vision. He didn't bring everyone he met—only those whose skills and loyalty would make them invaluable. Each recruit was introduced into his world with forged identities and histories, integrated seamlessly into society using the Magnus family's vast influence. These individuals became sleeper agents, embedded in various organizations across Europe, waiting for Adrian's call.
Among them was Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow from the world of the Avengers. Adrian had found her at a crossroads in her life, torn between her past as a spy and her uncertain future. He offered her a fresh start in exchange for her service. Then came Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the master assassin from Renaissance Italy, whose expertise in stealth and strategy made him a cornerstone of Adrian's growing network. Even individuals like The Professor (Sergio Marquina) from the world of Money heist, a genius strategist, had been brought into the fold, their skills utilized in ways they could never have imagined.
By the time Adrian turned fifteen, his organization, Nexus, was already a whisper in the halls of intelligence agencies. No one knew its origin, and no one could trace its roots, but its influence was undeniable. Operatives seemed to appear out of nowhere, moving with precision and purpose, disrupting operations and gathering intelligence with frightening efficiency. To the world, they were an anomaly. To Adrian, they were his instruments of control.
In this world, however, Adrian didn't know that he had stepped into the universe of My Hero Academia. To him, this was simply a world where genetic mutations had become widespread—a world of mutants, like in X-Men. The phenomenon of quirks was baffling but not entirely unexpected. Adrian treated it as a natural evolution, an opportunity rather than a threat. Heroes and villains, in his eyes, were merely factions of a larger chessboard created by the authorities around the globe, and Adrian had no intention of being a pawn.
Still, adapting to this world required patience. Adrian's family connections ensured that he had access to the highest levels of information. With personnel like Magneto, Natasha, Ezio, etc. spearheading a faction in Eastern Europe, running espionage networks in the west, and overseeing covert operations from the shadows, Adrian's reach extended further than anyone suspected. While others vied for control of nations, Adrian controlled the people who made those nations tick.
But Adrian's ambition didn't stop there. The so-called heroes of this world intrigued him. Figures like All Might, a living symbol of hope and justice, reminded him of individuals like Captain America—idealists with unshakable resolve. Adrian, however, was no idealist. He didn't seek justice or power for its own sake. His goal was dominance, to mold this chaotic world into his vision of order.
As he leaned back in his chair, Adrian glanced at a dossier on his desk. It contained information about several key players in the Japanese hero society. While he didn't fully grasp the cultural significance of heroes and villains in this world, he knew one thing: these individuals could either be assets or obstacles. Either way, they would bow to him eventually.
Standing, Adrian walked to the window and gazed at the sprawling cityscape below. His organization was still in the shadows, but it wouldn't stay that way forever. Soon, the sleeper agents he had placed across Europe would be activated. With their help, he would build an empire that even the most powerful heroes could not challenge.
"Quirkless. Heroes. Villains." He smirked. "In the end, they're all just tags the authorities created to end their goals."
And so, with the winds of change stirring across Europe, Adrian Magnus—the reincarnator, the traveler, the architect of Nexus—prepared to step into the light, ready to reshape the world and claim his place as its unchallenged ruler.
