Muscle Augmentation ( (きん) (にく) (ぞう) (きょう) Kin'niku Zōkyō?) is a Quirk used by Muscular and All For One.

Description

Muscle Augmentation is a Quirk that gives its user the ability to manipulate and amplify their muscles. Muscle fibers can be enlarged to where they can no longer be contained by the skin. This grants its user great strength and defensive durability, as well as enhanced speed and agility.

This Quirk grants enough strength to contend with One For All at 100%. While strong, the brute force granted by this power can be bested by One For All.[1][2]

Usage

Muscular

Muscular is the only wielder of this Quirk where it serves as his lone superpower. He uses Muscle Augmentation to cover his limbs with enhanced muscle fibers that protrude from his skin. He can freely choose the muscle mass he covers with his body to increase his abilities. This grants Muscular immense strength and speed. [3]

Muscle Augmentation

Muscular's immense strength and speed.

When fighting seriously, Muscular obliterate a large chunk of a cliffside with a single strike. By manipulating the muscles in his legs, Muscular can move at blurring speeds that far outclass Full Cowl at 5%.

Augmented muscles provide Muscular with a high level of protection and the fibers can act as a shield to absorb attacks. With enough protection, Muscular can even take the impact of special moves as powerful as Izuku's 100% Detroit Smash.[1]


Muscular's speed also gives him the option to completely avoid incoming attacks. In order to counter Muscular's enhanced speed, Izuku purposely trapped his hand between muscle fibers so Muscular couldn't avoid his next attack.[3]

High-End

High-End Regenerating

High-End regenerating muscle fibers.

High End mainly uses enhanced muscle fibers to support its other Quirks, giving it incredible destructive power. High-End can cover its arms and muscles, transform them into powerful tendrils and increase their power even more with another strength enhancement Quirk. [4]

The brute force used by High-End to Overwhelm Endeavor was shown to be levels above Muscular's raw power. Destroyed muscles can also be regenerated by High-End's healing Quirk. [5]

Wolfram

Muscle Augmentation (Two Heroes)

Wolfram enlarging muscles while his Quirks are being enhanced.

All For One gave Wolfram the ability to enlarge his muscles and greatly increase his strength. When activated, Wolfram's muscles don't pop out of his skin, instead, they glow bright red and completely change his appearance.

Combined with the Quirk Amplification Device, this Quirk gave Wolfram enough raw strength to momentarily overwhelm All Might and turn the tide of their battle. Wolfram was able to injure All Might using this ability to compensate for his weakness at close range when manipulating metal.[2]
