Meta Liberation Army

The Meta Liberation Army (異能解放軍) is a large, powerful Villain organization that follows the philosophy that the free usage of Quirks is a basic human right and emphasizes liberation over regulation. The original group was found and led by the infamous Destro and the current group is found and led by his son Redestro. They are the titular main antagonists of the Meta Liberation Army Arc.

Original Meta Liberation Army
In the past, when regulations were being created in several countries to restrict Quirk usage, the Meta Liberation Army attempted to stop them. However, after several years of opposition, the militia group was ultimately defeated. Following their defeat, the group seemingly disbanded and the Meta Liberation Army's grand commander, Destro, was incarcerated along with several of its members. After an unknown period of time, Destro died during imprisonment.

Legacy
The Meta Liberation Army made their mark on history as one of the most infamous villain groups and their leader is compared to the likes of All For One.

During his incarceration, Destro wrote an autobiography which resulted in several reprints due to its popularity. There are mixed opinions in regards to the actions of the Meta Liberation Army with some individuals supporting their movement while others dismissing it as acts of terrorism and ridiculed it for getting innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

Meta Liberation Army Arc
Unbeknownst to the world, Destro actually had a child who would carry on his legacy. Destro's son, Rikiya Yotsubashi, also known as Redestro is the current Grand Commander of the now secret society. Including Redestro, the heads of the organization are successful entrepreneurs with innumerable resources and wealth. Members of the army salute by making an L with their hand and placing the thumb on their forehead.

By remaining in the shadows for decades, the Meta Liberation Army has amassed loyal warriors across many generations. Redestro claims their army has over one hundred thousand men waiting to strike at society and liberate Quirks.

The Meta Liberation Army worships Destro and his vision. Therefore, only Destro can be credited with the liberation of society. Growing entities like the League of Villains threaten to overtake Destro's name and must be destroyed.

Strength
The Meta Liberation Army was large and powerful enough to oppose the governments of multiple countries for several years before their ultimate defeat.

The current army's strength is still largely unknown but supposedly consists of over 100,000 soldiers.
