User blog:Lover of the Muse/my headcanon about Neito Monoma

Is Neito Monoma the son of All for One? It's my headcanon that this is true. The first reason I suspect they're related is because of the similarity between their respective quirks; AfO can steal the powers of others and Neito can temporarily copy them. The second, and more complicated reason, has to do with Neito Monoma's characterization.

In Neito Monoma's introductory scene the first thing he does (after stealing Bakugo's headband) is speechify about his plans to his enemy and mock the hero. Monoma is intelligent, egotistical, eloquent and perfectly willing to be underhanded. He is prone to condescension, gloating/mockery,. and maniacal laughter. When you lay them out on paper Monoma's idiosyncracies start to sound suspiciously like supervillain cliches.

One of the ways to hide foreshadowing in plain sight is to play it off as a joke. Neito Monoma's stereotypically villainous traits aren't likely to arouse suspicion from the audience because they are played for comedy.
