If Quirkless discrimination was a little bit worse, and if Izuku wasn't as forgiving...
Well.
(Featuring: All Might's Absolutely Horrible Teaching™, a slightly more self-aware Izuku, the League Of Villains, very little forgiveness, and a lot of traumatized kids.)
Staring at a trembling boy before him, All Might knows what he would've wanted someone to tell him if he'd asked the Number One Hero if he could've been a Quirkless hero. And if that notebook he signed was anything to go by, a little help from Nedzu and the boy might even surpass him.
When Midoriya Izuku asks All Might if he can be a hero without a Quirk, the Symbol of Peace says 'Yes.'
