Summary
Momo Yaoyorozu isone of Class 1-A’s star students, and the resourcefulness of her novel quirk further adds to her place among the class’ elites. Being one of the only two students in her class to be officially recommended, Momo has already been set up for success as a Pro Hero. However, she doesn’t let her safety net get to her head as she is willing to put in the work to keep her place as the top student.
Her quirk ‘Creation’ is one of the most versatile powers in the entirety ofMy Hero Academia, as the only limit to its strength is Momo’s own creativity and wits. As long as she can keep her level-headed demeanor, Momo becomes a powerhouse on her own as there are only a few countersto this novel quirk.

Momo’s Quirk: Creation
Momo’s quirk is as unique as they come, allowing her to materialize any object she wishes through her body. As long as Momo is aware of the molecular structure of the item she wants to create, it’s possible to materialize almost anything and everything, except for living beings. Even organic objects such as fruits can be created through her quirk, though they may lack the taste of the original.
The workings of her quirk are quite intricate, asCreation uses Momo’s own body fatand converts the molecular structure of her lipids to form any object her mind desires. Since the object materializes directly from her skin, she can even keep the item attached to her body for some quick maneuvering. There is no limit to the size of the objects she creates, although larger objects require more time to materialize and utilize a large chunk of her stored lipids.
The Process of Creation
Momo’s power is quite exceptional, granting her the power to create anything she imagines. The only prerequisite to forming any structure is understanding the atomic configuration of the item she wants to materialize. The first part of creating an item is imagining the necessary parts, and then the materials required to make it whole. She then assembles the item and finishes it up with a coating.
Once the object has been configured, it materializes out of her body with a pink and blue shimmer. Since much of the creation process has to do with knowing subatomic configurations and imagining the necessary parts, mental wits and intelligence play a major role in effectively utilizing Creation. Moreover, Momo can change the atomic properties of the materials used in making her items, such as replacing steel with titanium in her swords and weapons.
Creation’s Limitations
Having enough lipids is a crucial aspect of Momo’s quirk, meaning a considerable amount of food ingestion is key to properly utilizing her powers. This can easily become a limitation for Momo since larger objects force her to dig into her lipid reserves, leaving her exhausted and frail. If she pushes herself and goes beyond her limits, she could potentially end up malnourished and anemic.
Anotherone of Creation’s drawbacksis the amount of time required to materialize objects from Momo’s body. Smaller objects can form instantly, though the same isn’t the case for larger and more complex items. The amount of time required based on size and complexity can be detrimental in battle, leaving Momo vulnerable to attacks during the delay in forming an item. Momo’s battle against Tokoyomi during the U.A. Sports Festival showcased this weakness, as it allowed her opponent to sweep in during this slight delay.

Quick wits are another necessity for this quirk, and without quick thinking and a sharp mind, Creation essentially becomes useless in battle. While Momo is no short of wits, the pressure can get to her in the midst of a fight, throwing her off balance and leaving her exposed for opponents to strike. These weaknesses make Creationa more team-friendly quirk, allowing Momo to take cover behind allies as she provides logistical support and firepower from behind.
Momo’s Signature Abilities
While Momo doesn’t exactly boast a signature ability, she does have an ultimate move named ‘Yaoyorozu’s Lucky Bag.’ With this move, Momo creates a massive cannon that fires a bag full of any items she creates. This is usually used to aid her allies with defensive items on a larger scale.
Momo also has another commonly used creation that she can make without even thinking. Russian matryoshka dolls were the very first itemsshe perfected during childhood, and these dolls still come in handy to this day. Since she can create an endless amount of these dolls, Momo uses these to hide other items within them. While they don’t exactly have much use, these dolls have been shown to come in handy when Momo is under pressure and lacks the time to create more complex items.
