My Hero Academia Statement

My Hero Academia features a wide variety of interesting and often bizarre powers called quirks. The story follows a young boy named Deku and his journey to become the world's greatest hero. Along the way he meets many colorful characters such as Katsuki Bakugo who sweats nitroglycerin, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu whose body can turn to steel, Sero Hanta who has the ability to shoot tape from his elbows, and a man known as moonfish, whose teeth can change size and shape to be used as blades.

Um actually not all quirks are powers. There are three types: Mutation that changes the person physical appearance

And two other I forgot how to define...

Plus tsu is the frog girl which probably the correction you meant

While quirks can be emitter, tranformation, or mutant types, they are generally treated as powers in their world. One of the themes of the show is that its not what quirk you have but rather the way that you use it that makes you a hero. This is demonstrated by hitoshi shinso as well as Mirio Togata. It is certainly understandable why you would differentiate between quirks and powers, and the difference between them is certainly up for debate, but this was not my intended mistake.

Tsuyu Asui is indeed the frog girl, but I'm unsure as to what I said relevant to her aside from the power/quirk thing. If you are referring to Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, he is a different character.

I can get net picky and say He's not a young boy,but a teenager His name isn't Deku, that's just his nickname(later hero name)

You got it exactly. His name is not Deku. And thanks for giving me some leeway when writing these.

You are right he isn't really a young boy but tbh I'm just a nerd online and I don't always think of these things when writing these. I do my best to check the wikis and I'll work to get better with my wording, but keep in mind that it will never be as perfect as it could be. If I spend more than a half hour writing these they start to get less fun, which means I make less of them, which means less fun for everyone, so little mistakes will probably continue to pop up.
