Synopsis#
Entrance Exam Arc#
Mt. Lady made her first debut as a new superhero just as Kamui Woods was about to restrain his opponent with his Lacquered Chain Prison Ultimate Move, when she swooped in, attacking the giant villain with her Canyon Cannon move, and subsequently defeating him. She then introduces herself to the awestruck crowd, proclaiming it to be her first day on the job, and is afterward swarmed by photographers and paparazzi.[1]
Later the same day, when Katsuki Bakugo is taken hostage by the Sludge Villain, she is unable to do anything because she has no room to move in the narrow alley in her giant form. Mt. Lady uses her gigantic arms to protect the bystanders of the wind pressure caused when All Might defeated the villain with a Detroit Smash. She helps to recover the remains of the sludge villain to take him into the custody of the Police Force.[2]
Three days after her debut, in her Hero Office, Mt. Lady has a discussion with her assistant about the insane bills they have to pay due to the destruction she caused with her gigantic form, even if they are covered by insurance. During the discussion, she accidentally activates her Quirk, demolishing her own headquarters. Afterwards, she says it's time for a rebuild.[3]

The other hero says that if a hero fails, they lose any chances of surviving, and notes that the Obstacle Race is a perfect example of how sometimes one has to lower someone else to show themselves off, and Mt. Lady mentions that she felt bad for taking out Kamui Woods' enemy on her first day of work, while also asking the other hero to stop smoking, while Kamui Woods agrees with the hero. Mt. Lady then comments that sometimes heroes have to cooperate with their concurrence and that the Cavalry Battle is a perfect analogy to that.[6]
Later, while doing her surveillance duties, Mt. Lady watches the fight between Denki Kaminari against Ibara Shiozaki, in which Ibara easily wins. Impressed by her, Mt. Lady tells Kamui Woods that Ibara would make the perfect sidekick for him, but he only responds by telling her to get back to work.[7]

In response to the act of terrorism, the World Heroes Association mobilizes the largest anti-terror joint task force. The Lurkers join the Egypt Task Force with their Work Study interns, Denki, Hanta, Minoru, and Ibara, where they meet Salaam, Egypt's top Hero.
The heroes lead an assault on a Humarise forward operating base in Cairo. Despite their successful raid, the heroes fail to locate the Trigger Bombs or any of the Humarise's leaders. The Egypt team were ordered to be on standby. During this time, they watch on the TV news that Izuku is framed for mass murder by the Otheon government. Mt. Lady seems like it's legit considering that it came from the WHA headquarters, however, classmates from Class 1-A refuses to believe that Izuku would do something heinous and voices their opinions in defense of Izuku's innocences.
The operation is compromised when Humarise publicly broadcast to the entire world that they have planted the Trigger bombs in over twenty-five cities, one of which is Cairo, and they will detonate the bombs in two hours to "cleanse" the population of their Quirks. As a result, Cairo is locked in a state of anarchy and chaos, so the Egypt team scrambled to quell the hysteria and locate the bombs.
Finally the heroes manage to find the bomb, having to engage in an all-out war against the Humarise agents who protect it. During the battle, the heroes are informed that Izuku's group intend to storm Humarise's main base in order to defuse the bombs worldwide.
The Lurkers manage to reach the bomb just as the countdown ends, but after a few seconds nothing happens, indicating that Izuku's group had managed to deactivate the Trigger Bombs in time, saving the world from catastrophic destruction. With the main threat neutralized, the heroes defeat the last of Humarise's agents and seize the device, celebrating the victory. Once the crisis has been averted, the team leave the country.[22]

By the end of March, thanks to the police investigations, and the information leaked by Hawks, who was acting as a spy, the Hero Public Safety Commission organize the Heroes and the Police Force to take down the Paranormal Liberation Front. Mt. Lady, along with her teammates Kamui Woods and Edgeshot, is part of a large force of heroes in charge of raiding the Gunga Mountain Villa, the headquarters of the Paranormal Liberation Front.[23][24]
When the signal is given, the heroes begin the assault on the Gunga Mountain Villa, catching the PLF members off guard, allowing the heroes to defeat large numbers of them before they can mount a proper defense.[25] The Paranormal Liberation Front soldiers soon begin to reorganize to drive back the heroes. In her giant form, Mt. Lady is hit by several of the enemy's attacks, but all they manage to do is anger her and strikes back in retaliation.[26]
As the battle progresses, the PLF begins to offer increased resistance. Geten, one of the main lieutenants of the organization, intervenes in the fight and with his ice he blows away Mt. Lady, which almost falls on top of Fat Gum.[27] Mt. Lady gets back up and attacks Geten, intending to pay him back for his earlier attack.[28]
Suddenly, Gigantomachia emerges from the ground and picks up some of the lieutenants. Mt. Lady does her best to try and hold the giant back.[29] The giant however, ignores her presence, until he chooses the shortest route to Tomura, grabbing her by her leg and throwing her away. Kamui Woods and Midnight also try to stop the behemoth, but are defeated by the lieutenants. However, Midnight manages to convey to the students the key to stop Gigantomachia, and Mt. Lady along with Kamui Woods holding on to his left leg, slowing him down just a little bit, giving students time to set up a trap.[30]
Mt. Lady continues to hold onto Gigantomachia while yelling at the unconscious Kamui Woods to wake up. Then, Gigantomachia falls into the trap, and the students prepare to carry out the plan to take him down, which is to throw a container with a powerful sedative into his mouth. Despite their situation, both Gigantomachia and the lieutenants manage to repel the assaults of the students.
Then several heroes who were chasing them start attacking, at the same time Mt. Lady pushes Gigantomachia down on the ground. Understanding that students trying to get something into Gigantomachia mouth, Mt. Lady forcibly opens it.[31] Mina is about to succeed, but she fails when she sees Gigantomachia, who proclaims that he cannot waste any more time with insects and needs to get to his master, causing the girl to recognize him as the same giant she stood up to in middle school and freezing up in fear.
The behemoth grabs Mt Lady by the head and shakes her off, then savagely tosses her to the side, knocking her unconscious. When it seems that the plan of the U.A. students is about to fail, Eijiro manages to make him swallow one of the sedative.[32] This allowed the giant to be defeated later, but not before causing great destruction in his path.
Following the Paranormal Liberation War's aftermath, All For One has escaped from Tartarus, and releasee the inmates from several prisons. The whole country entered a state of total chaos and anarchy. In addition, many heroes resigned and called it quits because of the massive criticism of their work, and the destruction spreading unchecked. Mt.

The Lurkers later regroup, along with Endeavor, Hawks and Best Jeanist, revealing that they now all know the truth about One For All. Upon Edgeshot proposing that they share the truth with more heroes to widen investigations. The Mineyama Hero adds to this by explaining that following the incident with Lady Nagant, the brunt of the search and investigation is now falling solely on Deku, and with the police preoccupied with their own issues, she advises them that they should gather as many allies as they can. Endeavor however reminds her that Death Arms had retired two days prior, being unable to handle the overwhelming criticism from the public.
Best Jeanist adds that Heroes are quitting one by one, and that retired heroes are leaking whatever they know about One For All to the public, with Endeavor commenting that if the public find out the truth about Deku's Quirk, then the boy will be caught in a negative cycle. Mt. Lady questions as to why All For One didn't reveal the whole secret about One For All and Endeavor answers saying that if he did, everyone would do their upmost to keep Deku hidden from him.
Endeavor then admits that they have no leads, and that all of them including Deku need to face the reality in that they just don't have the numbers to handle everything.[35]
U.A. Traitor Arc#
When Izuku finally returned to U.A. after going rogue, he and Class 1-A reunite with Mt. Lady.

My Hero Academia: You're Next#
During Class 1-A's excursions to combat and apprehend Jailbreakers and villains, they are captured by Gollini Family Mafia, consisting of Bruno, Kamile, Deborah, Paulo, Simon, Ugo, Gi, and their leader, Valdo Gollini with Valdo’s face resembling All Might's and becoming "Dark Might". They turned their yacht into a massive fortress thanks to Dark Might's Quirk using Anna Scervino's Overmodification.
Because so long as people remember All Might’s legacy, they will continue to resist him, so Dark Might decides to destroy that legacy by annihilating the remnants of the Heroes in U.A.. The Heroes and the Counter-Force notice the fortress' change in direction, and realize it is heading right towards the school. Principal Nezu states that the U.A. Barrier is essential for their plan to defeat Tomura Shigaraki and must be protected at all costs. Hence, he ordered the evacuation of the refugees. Mt. Lady and the Heroes head to the outskirts of the city to stage a counterattack against the fortress. Endeavor fires a full blast of his Prominence Burn, but the Heroes learn that the fortress repairs itself from any external damages they inflict, which means they can only stall time for Class 1-A to do their jobs.
Mirio Togata, who quickly infiltrated the fortress with his Permeation, helps direct everyone toward the exit. He signals the Heroes outside of the civilians' location, so Endeavor unleashes Prominence Burn - Maximum Fire and Flare Circle to make a hole large enough for civilians to fall through, with all the Heroes waiting outside to catch and bring them to safety. Mt. Lady uses a U.A. banner to let the majority of civilians fall onto while some of the scattered ones are picked up by the rest.
Once the civilians are safe, Endeavor makes a hole large enough for many Heroes to move inside, with Mt. Lady keeping the hole open long enough and aid Class 1-A. As the fortress comes closer to U.A., the fortress starts to collapse after Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto defeat Dark Might; in conjunction, Mirio defeats Kamile, causing the fortress to fall from the sky.
Suddenly, the fortress starts to repair itself as Anna’s Quirk goes berserk, causing her to consume everything in the battlefield, including Dark Might. Still affected by Anna's Overmodification, Dark Might regains consciousness and uses her enhanced properties to turn himself into a colossal monster, using the fortress to repair a new body. While Izuku, Shoto and Katsuki fight back against Dark Might, Giulio Gandini manages to touch her, and thanks to Anna's Overmodification, his own Neutralization Quirk becomes greatly enhanced, allowing him to overcome his limits and then use it on Anna. With Dark Might vulnerable, Izuku, Katsuki, and Shoto, attack the Villain and unleash their most powerful moves, destroying Dark Might and the entire fortress.
With the Gollini Family defeated, the U.A. Shelter is safe, and everyone cheers on the Heroes and Class 1-A for their valiant victory.[37]
Final War Arc#
In preparations for the upcoming Final War, Shota's plan begins to take into effect. Knowing that All For One is keeping tabs on the Heroes through Search, he needed Yuga and the Aoyama Family to play their roles as infiltrators and spies for All For One. He and All Might recruited Shota's protégée, Hitoshi Shinso, to take advantage of Hitoshi's newest development of being able to make brainwashed people speak, by having him brainwash the Aoyamas so that they can deceive him without detecting a single lie.
The next step of the plan is to make use of Kurogiri's Warp Gate to allow them to warp themselves into the fight, to catch All For One off guard, as well as warp the villains to locations all over Japan, separating them. Neito was able to successfully copy and train himself using Warp Gate, and the heroes waited patiently for Izuku to make contact with Yuga. Once Yuga meets Izuku in a desolated location, All For One has finally re-emerged, and with his prize in his reach, All For One summons an army of villains to overwhelm Izuku and finally steal One For All. However, Neito uses Warp Gate to teleport the remnants of the heroes to confront the villains.[38]
Mt. Lady is in charge of defending Gigantomachia's containment unit in the ruins of the Jaku Hospital Ruins along with the U.A. hero course students from Class 1-A and 1-B. She overheard the news that Dabi has been defeated by his youngest brother, Shoto. Mt. Lady cheers on Shoto for his success, knowing he had potential, and she and the other heroes are motivated to do the same to defeat the villains.[39]
Mt. Lady and the Heroes put up a good fight against the Villains, however, the battle begins to fall to their side when several of the Liberation soldiers begin to float in the air away from their reach. They activate an ultra-high frequency recording of All For One's voice, intending to re-awaken Gigantomachia. Mt. Lady swipes at them, knowing he absolutely can't wake up, calling out to Yui who uses her Size Quirk to create a gigantified wrench which she attempts to attack them with. Right as she's about to, however, Gigantomachia breaks free from his containment, knocking her down as she thinks about how he embodies pure psychological scarring.
Mt. Lady tries to keep Machia at bay, all the while he continues to pound away at her, demanding to know where his master is. During this time, Eijiro seeks out Hitoshi, who had accompanied them, to brainwash Machia, but he is starting to be absorbed by the Sludge Villain. Before Machia could kill Mt. Lady with his massive claws, Mina pushes her Quirk to its maximum output, blasting out her new Ultimate Move: Acidman - Alma, which is potent enough that it melts right through the beast's hardened skin. Mt. Lady notices this, looking at Mina and thinking for her to be careful.
While Mina saves Eijiro and Hitoshi from the Sludge Villain, Mt. Lady still attempts to recover against Machia who is about to attack her with his other hand. But just then, Hitoshi uses his Persona Chords to mimic All For One's voice, causing Machia to respond to him, successfully Brainwashing him. He commands him to attack all the remaining forces in the air, relaying everything to Mt. Lady while on riding his hand.
With Machia now under their control, they have taken out all of the Villains, leading the Heroes to round up the escaped convicts and Liberation soldiers to be apprehended. However, Mt. Lady is then contacted by Naomasa Tsukauchi, informing her about the situation in Gunga with All For One. Now that his body has started to regenerate, he is attempting to flee, so they request backup in order to keep him contained. Mt. Lady leads the rest of the containment team, alongside the Hitoshi-controlled Gigantomachia, toward Gunga where they aid the remaining Heroes in engaging All For One.[40]
Mt. Lady continues to attack while staying beside Machia, in order to protect Hitoshi and prevent All For One from breaking control of the Brainwashing. Despite their attempts, All For One is able to fire off a huge wave blast, hitting Machia and freeing him from the Brainwashing. However despite this, to everyone's surprise, Machia asks his master why he abandoned him, venting about feeling betrayed for being left behind after so long, attacking him of his own volition. The Heroes plus Machia once again throw their full assault on All For One until he vanishes for good.[41]
As the Heroes and Gigantomachia continued their relentless assault on All For One, Mt. Lady broke her giant wrench and orders Yui to give her another weapon, but the only thing she can give was Detnerat items, which aren't useful for combat. As the growing exhaustion comes forth, Mt. Lady perseveres and calls on anything that she can use in order to hold down All For One.
However, the Villain manages to gain the upperhand and is successfully able to retaliate, sending a blast forward that slices Mt. Lady's abdomen, causing her body to fall to the ground. The U.A. students call out to her in fear, just as All For One retaliates further by brutally attacking Gigantomachia, knocking him out, and proceeding to attack everyone else. As the dust settles, all the Heroes lie battered and broken, with All For One eventually finally leaving the battlefield for Tomura's location.[42]
Mt. Lady barely survived the onslaught attack from All For One, but she was critically injured as the result of the fighting. While she was out of commision for the duration of the war, All For One was defeated by Katsuki, and then eventually rewound himself to death until he fades from existence.[43] Soon after, other Heroes managed to defeat the villains one by one until the only fight that remains was the fight between Izuku and Tomura.[44]
Izuku manages to come close and defeats Tomura once and for all before the villain succumbs to his injuries and dies as his body disintegrates into ashes.[45]
