He was bullied at school by Katsuki Bakugou for wanting to be a hero and everyone knowing he doesn't have Quirk. Izuku and his mother went to the doctors where they told him that he couldn't have a Quirk. He couldn't have on because he had 2 joints in his toes. This means he couldn't have one at all. Though this revelation was sad for him, he still believed he could become a hero.

The same day, as Izuku walks home, a villain fleeing the scene of a crime encounters him. This villain had apparently escaped All Might earlier that day at 12:02 AM. The villain decides that to avoid detection, he should take over Izuku's body. Just as Izuku falls into despair, All Might shows up and saves him. Stunned, Izuku asks for an autograph, but All Might leaves before he can ask the questions he has burning in the back of his mind. So in an effort to get All Might to stay, he latches on to All Might's leg and hangs on while All Might launches himself into the air. After a quick strugglet hey land safely on a rooftop.
