Bakugou's Nicknames Masterlist

This is mainly for me to use as reference whenever I write as Kacchan, but feel free to use this if you're struggling to come up with nicknames for your own fics. I'll probably update this whenever I think of new ones, find really good ones from other fics or Kacchan makes new ones in canon.
April 2022 Update: Now includes the past OFA Users (or what I like to call them the Council of Bestiages).
December 2023 Update: Now includes All Might & more nicknames for AFO.

Chapter 1: CLASS 1-A

Notes:

Pretty self-explanatory. Most of these nicknames are directly from canon, so I didn't need to think too hard about these, but I'll italicize the ones from fanon that I really like (or at least they are to my knowledge).

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter 2: CLASS 1-B

Notes:

Nicknames for members of Class 1-B.
The nicknames in this set are mostly made up by me since Kacchan has yet to fully interact with Class 1-B in canon, so I'm not gonna bother italicizing them here. :P

Chapter 4: PRO HEROES & SIDEKICKS

Summary:

Nicknames for heroes & sidekicks. lol, I doubt Kacchan would say most of these straight to the Pro Heroes' faces, but the names were fun to make up. As usual, italicized nicknames are fanon ones that I really like (or at least they are to my knowledge).

Chapter 5: VILLAINS

Notes:

Nicknames for big baddies and other antagonists.
Personally my favourite set of nicknames to make up since Kacchan wouldn't have to hold back on the insults. I don't see him interacting with all these villains in my own fics, but I figured I come up with some while I'm here. Like before, italicized nicknames are fanon ones that I really like (or at least they are to my knowledge).

  I’ve long since been caught up with the manga, but I don’t recall him ever calling himself that? If you can provide screenshots or something, that’d be great.

  Thanks. 😊
  The process was actually made a lot faster & easier once I figured out Kacchan's naming scheme, but doing it for the movie characters was definitely a challenge. As a rule of thumb, I try to make the names "descriptive, but grossly simplified" because aside from "Deku", a majority of them come from the most memorable aspect of the person, which includes their personality traits, outward appearance &/or their Quirk(s).
