Well, my hero academia does take inspiration from western super heroes, so theres that. And besides, he was MEANT to be punisher. Who else could do it better.
Yo, Midoriya could’ve been a good vigilante! If he didn’t become a hero, he could’ve been a really good vigilante! He’s kinda like knuckleduster, funny.
Venom Hudson oh! That be cool! Both knuckles and Izuku love all might, they’re very analytical, knuckles also have black hair, they’re reckless, but have a heart of a hero. (Maybe that’s why Deku has a millions of all might merch, because his dads also a fan) That would be cool, but that kinda wouldn’t make sense. So we’ll have to stick with either all might or AFO ((dad might for the win))
Idk about that. The only reason he wanted to become a hero was because of All Might. In fanmade au's, if Midoriya has never seen All Might in his true state, he would have never been given One For All as the story takes place. So it could go either way, to be honest.
Knuckleduster’s build is a clear reference to Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns Batman, his costume is a reference to Daredevil, and his name may be a reference to Iron Fist.
@@meeknotweak3 In other words, he's a nicer and saner version of Crazy Steve... Okay! A review of the fist volume of Vigilantes in Atop The Fourth Wall. Make it happen.
@@DanExclaims I know and i think thats really sad, i love it a lot. Btw IF knuckle duster would get his quirk back, how would you think it would happen? I don't see AFO giving it back (if he even took it)
If you're willing to broaden your horizons I suggest you check out the character wildcat! It's the person Batman learned some of his hand to hand skills from
I've loved Knuckleduster throughout the whole series. He has a moral compass and carries a madness about him that is intoxicating. At the same time, he is very intelligent and can come across as a normal human being. I want to know more about his history and his future. Seeing how he lost his quirk may provide more insight into what Japan was like before All Might was able to become the Symbol of Peace and why it was so important that he became one. His future seems pretty bleak however. He keeps putting himself in harms way, but it feels like he has nothing to protect, only the thrill of the fight keeps him going. I wonder if the punishment his body goes through will eventually catch up with him, or if it already has. Just an aside, but I hope that Vigilantes crew are able to at least make cameo appearances in the main manga. Maybe have Jiro and Pop sing a duet. Koichi and Midoriya fanboying over All Might and comparing collections could be funny. If Horikoshi wants them to have a bigger role, maybe have the duo, or trio is Knuckleduster is still alive, train class 1-A with an emphasis on mobility.
And here's the thing, in the comics Wildcat actually has some sort of power. As his name suggests, Wildcat, he has this 9 lives hack, I think. I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me.
I'm going to sound like a complete moron saying this but I like vigilantes more then BNHA. Idk I just find it more fun to read and the few characters it puts in the spotlight are awesome and relatable. Knuckleduster is best dad
I honestly agree. It’s still underground too so the toxic stans haven’t found it yet, and the theories other fans come up with is so fun! The backstories of some of the side characters like Ingenium and Midnight is also a nice refresher
@@emileefields2208 it makes me feel conflicted, i want it to get an anime when it finishes but at the same time im afraid the cringy shippers and tiktokers will find it

Man, I’ve just recently stumbled across this channel and you share some excellent insight on these topics, and are very well spoken. What an underrated RUclipsr. You’ve got my sub (:
We dont know if the daughter is quirkless or not but seeing as she knew how to fight as queen bee she must be as skilled as her father but still weaker then him her quirk might not be a one used for combat or queen bee cannot use her quirk when she is in control
amazing job like always and wow this video had me on the edge my seat. knuckleduster is one of the badass name I ever hear hero or villain. and I feel this would had been deku future if all might didn't give him his power. let's face it deku wasn't going let anything to stop his dream of been a hero. I honestly how big and popular my hero academia is getting the should make episode for them too they would have epic fights
There haven't been any Vigilantes original characters introduced in the original manga, but there are plenty of characters from the original manga that make appearances in Vigialntes
@@DanExclaims yaa!!! I feel like he's a combination of flash and Thomas wane specifically in that movie they even kinda looking like each other the resemblance between the two are crazy similar in my opinion
Everyone saying he’s like Batman knows absolutely nothing about Midnighter. Knuckleduster is almost exactly like Midnighter....his quirk is also almost just like Midnighter’s blinding speed and heightened senses in battle. Midnighter is not regularly a speedster as far as long distance running, but on the battlefield, he’s so fast, that regular people (even seasoned fighters) can’t keep up with his movements. Even his costume is like Midnighter’s. Badass! I hope to see more of him. Maybe he could actually be perfect inspiration for Deku, if he ever decides to pass One For All onto someone else. Deku’s monologue says he’ll be the #1 hero in the future, but he never said that he’ll have a quirk 😉
Maybe his quirk was stolen by Nine. As far as we know, we didn't know Nine's all quirks. Is Nine dead? I haven't seen the movie nor read the manga of that arc
There’s actually a version of Batman where he kills flash by strapping him to his car and taking his powers. Super evil but dope af. Somewhere on Batman: metal
Not a huge fan of Knuckleduster but I still love him somehow. Like cmon him with a fucking shotgun and sniper rifle is freaking awesome! And he's total DILF
His quirk gone His daughter almost died but he saved her But i like when they fought eraserhead And koichi didn't nurture his quirk bcause of her over protective mother 😂😂😂
Would love to see a mix between batman and iron man like teen hero. Using smoke and flash bombs to disoriante his enemies. A special suit that can whitstand most of the elemental atracks and physical attacks. A special graple and a cape helping him glide around arens and move faster. A special sentry he can command to shoot down artillery and crowd controll that lock down targets making them unable to move. And ofc a cool syrum he can use whenever he thinks he's about to loose. Like the one from kick ass 2.
Honestly, when I first heard of MHA the only thing I heard about it is "kid born without superpowers in a world where everyone has superpowers desires to be a hero" and I thought that that was going to be the plot. A powerless kid that uses ingenuity to overcome everyone, and when I started the first episode and saw the obsessive notes on various heroes and their quirks I genuinely thought that this was how the series would play out and that they gave the MC the perfect starting point... then they just put a bunch of BS coincidences in the story that gave the MC access to the most powerful quirk and my motivation for the series plummeted. When I later heard of Vigilantes and read it I just instantly fell in love with the series, especially after seeing Knuckleduster kicking ass without a quirk.
Mine would be teleportation. Mainly because I am always late and traffic makes me want to irrationally break the world. I know everyone hates traffic but I really really go insane. So yeah...teleportation.
Mine would probably be a protection quirk thats energy-based or something similar to shielding people. I'm kind of protective and overbearing. And I'm shy so I can use that to just put myself in a bubble simply to keep people away before I feel more anxious and pass out. I feel like that would be my power. My personality would be similar to Suneater, one of the big 3 of UA
Javier Astacio Over Clock speeds the user up significantly but only for a few seconds and it has a cooldown. Gran Torino’s Jet quirk is still quite fast(S tier speed) but it dosent have a cooldown and allows the user to move midair. Engine Legs is also stupid fast(S tier speed) and can function at max speed for longer than Over Clock. If they were to have a race over any considerable distance than Jet and Engine would far outclass Over Clock.
Damn. Had his quirk beaten up off him like a kid with a new pair of jordans
Like a pair of Js.
Not gonna lie, he gives me punisher vibes
Well, my hero academia does take inspiration from western super heroes, so theres that. And besides, he was MEANT to be punisher. Who else could do it better.
@@nicksuazo4377 /batman
@@bookknight batman or daredevil or punisher ?? I don't know but MHA'S creator is cool taking ideas form western movies.
Iron Fist but nerfed
That's the first thing I thought when he first appeared
Yo, Midoriya could’ve been a good vigilante! If he didn’t become a hero, he could’ve been a really good vigilante! He’s kinda like knuckleduster, funny.
Right? If he just found out how to take them down tactically!
Dan Exclaims! I mean, he IS good about analyzing stuff, all he needed was to learn how to fight!
I kind of wished that knuckle dusters was midoriya’s dad I thought it would be a cross over chapter/ arc where midoriya would try to find his dad
Venom Hudson oh! That be cool! Both knuckles and Izuku love all might, they’re very analytical, knuckles also have black hair, they’re reckless, but have a heart of a hero. (Maybe that’s why Deku has a millions of all might merch, because his dads also a fan)

I see what you did there No guns Life

Abahaha nice one no guns life although the manga is very slow on the update

Small re-VOLVER business ;D
Knuckleduster’s build is a clear reference to Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns Batman, his costume is a reference to Daredevil, and his name may be a reference to Iron Fist.
His personality and fighting style and costume is all a reference to Wildcat
And his old quirk and pro hero side very obviously references the flash as mentioned in the video
The constant grinning while fighting remind me of Miller’s Batman in All Star Batman & Robin.

Hes just a more punchy batman and I love him

@@DanExclaims Everyone is comparing him to Batman but I do think he just is daredevil with sight.
It must suck to have your quirk stolen and see it being used for villainy
He was also the #1 Hero before All Might
It would make sense, for that AfO stole his quirk and gave it to a Nomu. Where did you learn about it?
I hope we see more of o'clocks quirk,like number six or even knuckle duster getting back his quirk!
I really hope so.
So, he is Ted Grant (Wildcat) mixed with Frank Castle (Punisher) who just happened to also be Flash/Whizzer/Johnny Quick/Max Mercury? Damn.
He’s pretty much Batman in this universe but even more badass in his own right.
He's currently a crossover between Rorshack and Batman.
His Wildcat
You earned monetization at the worst moment...coppa.

Wow this what deku should have been now he's just over powered with multiple quirks
He is more like wildcat( Ted Grant) than batman.
Yanno, I was hoping I'd have someone say wildcat or midnighter, but I didn't think my subs were well versed in DC comics like that!
The Brass Knuckles or Whatever you call them are a clear give away.
Hes more of a "Wildcat" than a "Batman" to me. At least he trusts people. Unlike Batman.
And here's the thing, in the comics Wildcat actually has some sort of power. As his name suggests, Wildcat, he has this 9 lives hack, I think. I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me.
Hey someone with the same thoughts
Knuckleduster using his quirk would be broken
i hope we see some vigilante characters in the main series that would be cool it would make me like them more
Im already finish the manga , already my favourite .
His wife also had an eyepatch. I thought they were alluding to her being a previous host
The first man who can fight JoJo or Dio without a stand on equal levels
I get the feeling that Deku will learn some things from Knuckles
He seems less of an homage to Batman and more of an homage to the lesser known DC vigilante, wildcat
His name is badass
This made me want to go back and read everything over

So is his wife quirkless? Since his daughter seemed to be quirkless or was she born after his quirk was taken?
It was not explained if she was quirkless or not, she unfortunately passed away before knowing much about her.
Midoriya had two parents with quirks in sure it doesn't if the mother was quirk less or not.
We dont know if the daughter is quirkless or not but seeing as she knew how to fight as queen bee she must be as skilled as her father but still weaker then him her quirk might not be a one used for combat or queen bee cannot use her quirk when she is in control
He's not just Bruce Wayne, he's also more of Frank Castle as well.
The Batman, and, The Punisher.

Basically punisher but smiles more

You got my sub hopefully RUclips fix it self so you don’t drown. Great video also
He might (or used to) have the fastest speed base quirk in the whole series
Maybe top speed but definitely not agility. Overall I think o’clock is the worst speed quirk though.
ViPR why?
Javier Astacio Over Clock speeds the user up significantly but only for a few seconds and it has a cooldown. Gran Torino’s Jet quirk is still quite fast(S tier speed) but it dosent have a cooldown and allows the user to move midair. Engine Legs is also stupid fast(S tier speed) and can function at max speed for longer than Over Clock. If they were to have a race over any considerable distance than Jet and Engine would far outclass Over Clock.
