For the unnamed Quirk used by the Robber Villain, see Smoke.
Smokescreen (
Description[]
Smokescreen allows the user to generate a thick cloud of purple smoke from their body. The smoke can be spread to cover a very wide area. This serves as a way to obscure the vision of opponents and catch them by surprise.

Weaknesses[]
If too much smoke is released, the user might have difficulty navigating through the thick haze, and it can backfire if the opponent manages to get the drop on the user. This Quirk also has no offensive potential, and according to En, it can't be raised to the Ultimate Move level.[2] Smokescreen cannot spread very far in humid environments such as rain.[3] The smoke can also be dispelled through powerful shockwaves, such as Katsuki Bakugo's Land Mine Blast.[4]
Usage[]
It is likely that En used Smokescreen in conjunction with One For All, though his proficiency with the Quirk is unknown.
Shortly after the Paranormal Liberation War, Izuku managed to awaken Smokescreen, and proceeded to demonstrate his use with the Quirk during a battle against the recently escaped Muscular. Due to the stockpiling power of One For All, Smokescreen increased in power from the time that En wielded it. However, due to the increased power and his inexperience with the Quirk, as well as being caught off guard by the villain, he released far too much smoke, completely enveloping his body in smoke and temporarily obscuring his own vision.
After recovering, and using Float to hover above the city, he utilizes Smokescreen to cover the streets, as a way to limit Muscular's visibility and guide him toward himself.[2]
Izuku later uses Smokescreen at Full Blast to distract Lady Nagant long enough for him to utilize Fa Jin to reach her location.[5]
He uses this Quirk as part of a combination attack involving all of the Quirks housed in One For All against "Tomura Shigaraki".[6]
Later, Izuku uses the Quirk in combination with Gearshift's Low Gear to make the smoke dissipate slower, giving him time to summon Blackwhips in an attempt to keep Tomura distracted.[7]
Izuku also uses Smokescreen as a breath weapon, emitting the smoke from his mouth, demonstrated during his fight with Tomura.[8] Shortly after this, Izuku attempts to forcibly transfer all of his remaining Quirks into Tomura to defeat him from within, with only En and Smokescreen successfully making it, destroying a part of his soul, and the Quirk itself in the process.[1]

Trivia[]
- This Quirk is similar to Smoke, as they both have the user generate smoke, though unlike Smoke, the smoke emitted from Smokescreen doesn't appear to cause eye irritation.
