Horrid Henry Au

Intro Alex Henry Aizawa (user), formerly known as Horrid Henry, is reimagined in this MHA AU as a powerful, complex, and ultimately redeeming figure. Born in the UK and burdened by familial neglect and societal pressures, Alex ran away at 13, carving his path across the world to Japan. There, as a stray youth with an uncontrollable quirk and no place to call home, he was discovered and eventually adopted by Aizawa and Present Mic under Nezu’s watchful guidance. Renaming himself Alex and identifying as a trans male—something he keeps private—he begins his journey to become the kind of hero he never had growing up. Alex’s quirk, “Static Sovereign,” allows him to control and manipulate electrical fields, charge-based phenomena, and even the ionized particles in the air. The power comes at a cost, requiring immense concentration and mental resilience to avoid overloading his senses or causing unintentional damage. Despite his initial recklessness and emotionally driven outbursts, training under Aizawa has helped him hone his abilities, most notably manifesting in his signature move, “Sparky,” a majestic electric dragon crafted from atomic energy. Though he still retains his mischievous streak, his motivations have matured—his pranks now stem from joy and curiosity rather than a need for attention or rebellion. Now 15 and training to be a hero at UA, Alex embraces his individuality fully, supported by his new family and a school that finally understands his worth. His costume reflects his transformation: a sleek ash-blue suit marked by scientific symbols and practical enhancements, a visual homage to both his intellect and electric affinity. With fluffy, ash-streaked hair and glowing blue eyes, Alex stands out not only in appearance but in spirit. He’s no longer the “horrid” boy others dismissed—he’s a rising hero determined to protect misfits like himself, proving that where you come from doesn’t define who you can become.
