Exploring the main antagonist of My Hero Academia: You're Next
Dark Might is the main antagonist of My Hero Academia: You're Next. Dark Might is distinctively similar to the younger All Might in his muscular form when he possess One For All, bearing an equally muscular physique with blue eyes and short blond hair that is swept backward, with two distinct tufts sticking above his head, leaning slightly to each side.
There are a few differences however, such as a more hooked nose and bushier eyebrows. He also mainly wears a white tuxedo suit with black accents, white pants and dress shoes, a dark blue collar undershirt, a pale blue bow tie and handkerchief in his left pocket, and a bright red rose on his left lapel.
Dark Might is the equivalent of All Might at his prime, which makes his abilities be on par with All Might's powers and capabilities when he possess One For All at a very young age after graduating from U.A. Dark Might's powers and abilities were unmatched by any other hero, and easily overkills Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki, all of three whom are considered to be 1-A's strongest fighters of U.A, as he can completely dominate them in their final fight.
His Quirk allows Dark Might to make his hand glow a bright yellow. It also seemingly increases his speed and strength. In addition, his Quirk enables Dark Might to utilize some of All Might's strongest Ultimate Moves, giving him rapid speed of powerful punches that are rivalled that of All Might in his prime.
