How MHA Quirk Balance Works
Every canonical MHA quirk follows a simple rule: a real strength paired with a real weakness. All Might's One For All comes with a strict time limit. Bakugo's Explosion requires sweat. Todoroki risks frostbite and burns if he over-relies on one side. When you use our generator, every result follows this same balance principle.
