MCU: One For All
Dying to save someone may seem like a cliche or a trope...but sadly it's a rare thing. To see that type of selfless sacrifice is, like I said, rare. Not many people would willingly defend another human from some crazed maniac wielding a knife. And why would you? What would you gain? A momentarily inflated ego because you helped someone? Maybe you'd even do it for monetary rewards? You'd have to be stupid to not do it with ulterior motives in mind.
But what if instead of being stupid, a certain teenager was just...nice. Nice enough to help. Nice enough to be selfless enough to put himself at risk. Most all, just optimistic enough to go up against someone wielding a knife and expect to come out alive.
This teenager was called...well, it doesn't really matter what his name is. His parents died when he was too young to even remember their faces, so he was raised by his grandparents. They instilled in him good morals but also a realistic outlook on the world, to make sure he wasn't blinded by the incorrect notion that the world is as simple as white and black, good and evil. This is what caused him to help that person. Because it was the right thing to do.
Sadly, something being the right thing to do doesn't make it easy. On the contrary, it usually ends up being harder. Which is how the young man ended up dying with a knife stuck deep in his gut.
Soon, everything went black. But then the light came back and the teen found himself in a child's body.
That's when the memories came flooding back...and the person next to him, this new body's mother, called out his name, "James..."
(A/N - Right, let me get this out of the way: If you don't like Hero MC's, you should turn away now. I'm sick and tired of reading about edge lord MC's who think they're god's gift to the Earth and have zero empathy for other people.
This story is about a good-natured young man, trying his best to help make the world a better, safer place. Though, like I said before, he won't be disillusioned with the world. He won't think he's infallible - he'll acknowledge the unfairness of the whole 'Heroes and Villains' thing and how certain people are pushed in either direction purely off of their circumstances and who they are or who their family/parents are. Most of all, he won't be a blatant hypocrite. For reference, the MC has One For All without the extra Quirks but with a passive bonus to his physique instead.)
