Izurou Shigaraki (死柄木出郎, Shigaraki Izuku), real name Izuku Midoriya (緑谷出久), is a villain from the Mirror Universe, the acting leader of that world's League of Villains, and an alternate universe version of Deku.

He is the main antagonist of the Mirror Universe Saga.

Appearance
Izurou Shigaraki has the same physical features as his prime universe counterpart. He typically wears a suit consisting of black dress pants, a white long sleeved shirt, usually with a black tie, and a black vest.

Abilities
Keen Intellect: much like his counterpart, Izurou is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful. He is brilliant at observing and analyzing his opponent and formulating strategies. He is good at coming up with creative ways to utilize his quirks and exploit weaknesses.

Quirks
All for One ( オール・フォー・ワン Ōru Fō Wan): allows him to steal other people's quirks and render them his own.
 * Explosion ( 爆破 Bakuha) : a quirk stolen from his world's Katsuki Bakugo. This is one of Izurou's favorite quirks both because of it's incredible destructive power and versatility, but also because it's a reminder of his victory over his childhood bully.
 * Fiber Master ( ファイバーマスター Faibā Masutā) a quirk given to Izurou by All for One after he stole it from Best Jeanist.
 * Engine( エンジン Enjin ): a quirk stolen from his worlds Tensei Iida.
 * Springlike Limbs: enhances his physical prowess and agility, it can be used
 * Air Cannon: a quirk given by All for One, provides Izurou with an answer to his counterparts air pressure attacks.

Personality
Izurou Shigaraki is a vindictive and calculating boy. Due to being bullied since childhood for being born without a quirk, Izuku developed an intense hatred for the society in which he was born and he eventually grew to hate the heroes who upheld that society.

Izurou is also very dilligent and strong willed. His dream of becoming a hero drove him to develop a habit of writing down notes about everything he knows in regards to their quirks. He continued this practice long after he gave up on becoming a hero and even after becoming a villain. Because of this practice Izurou has developed a great analytical mind and is easily able to form complex battle plans in a matter of seconds, taking advantage of his allies and enemies quirks to put them in motion. Izurou externalizes his observations through endless mumbling, a habit which annoys or scares his henchmen but which they never mention to him.

Izurou started out idolizing All Might just like Bakugo, but as time went on and Izuku was tortured by Bakugo and his freinds, Izurou identified more and more with the criminals who All Might beat up and sent to jail. He began to see the world as operating in terms of "might makes right" and heroes as only being considered heroes because they won.

In terms of henchmen, Izurou mainly trusts people who were born quirkless or had useless/weird quirks until Izuku gave them cool quirks.

No matter how many people Izurou hurts, maims, tortures, kidnaps, steals from, and abuses Izurou will stubbornly insist on seeing himself as being the real victim or else always viewing himself as the nerdy underdog.

Katsuki Bakugo (mirror universe)
Izuku and Katsuki knew each other since childhood but their relationship deteriorated. Ever since Izuku failed to develop a quirk while Katsuki developed his, Katsuki has always seen Izuku as weak and bullied him, giving him the nickname Deku. Katsuki Bakguo succeeded in convincing Izuku he couldn't be a hero and breaking Izuku's spirits.

Some time after Izuku Shigiraki received All for One, he tracked down his old enemy, and stole his quirk before killing him. Izuku would later lament how he didn't keep his Kaachan alive to torture him.

Katsuki Bakugo (main universe)
Izurou hates this alternate Bakugo as though he were the same one who tormented him his entire childhood. To be fair it seems that both versions treated their world's Izuku just as horribly.

Izuku Shigaraki wants to prove he can wield Bakugo's quirk better than Bakugo can.

Deku aka Izuku Midoriya
Deku's first impulse when meeting his alternate self is to try to find the good in Izurou, thinking he can't be all bad since they are the same person, and Izurou's first impulse is to try and turn Deku to his side. The two of them reluctantly fight, but again and again they each refrains from landign a finishing blow and instead tries to reason with the other. The two Izukos were subject to the same discrimination and bullying growing up and the point of divergence in their lives wasn't an external force acting upon them but a choice they made.

Trivia

 * Izurou Shigaraki's idealogy is similar to that of the One Punch Man villain named Garou
