  Summary

  What makes a Villain a Villain? Is it the misuse of a Quirk? Disregard for the law? Malice towards the general public?

  Izuku Midoriya learns that the line between Hero and Villain is a very fragile thing when a chance meeting has him landing on the wrong side of it. Locked into crime by a comedy of errors and forced to carve his own niche into the dark underworld of Japan, he is also faced with the fact that he doesn't actually know how to raise a child.

  Oh, well. It's not like he can be worse than Overhaul was.
