The Nomus are a species creatures from the Anime/Manga series My Hero Academia. They were created by the supervillain Shigaraki a.k.a. "All For One" by stealing the "quirks" (superpowers) of multiple individuals and forcibly transferring them to one individual. Because each quirk contains the will of the previous user and because the physical body usually can't handle having more than one at a time. Nomu are humans that undergo extreme physical transformation to handle the change and lose their sense of independent thought battling the wills of all the other heroes and villains in their mind.

The most famous and first Nomu to appear in the series was the USJ Nomu. Dubbed the "Anti-Symbol of Peace", he was created specifically to kill the #1 Super Hero All Might a.k.a "The Symbol of Peace". To do so, he was given a bunch of strength and speed enhancing quirks, plus a quirk for Shock Absorption and Super Regeneration to tank all of All Might's Attacks and deal back just as much damage.

The USJ Nomu is a large, black humanoid monster with a very muscular body that has many scars on it. His brain is exposed on the top of his head, while his large eyes are around it. He has a beak-like mouth with an array of sharp teeth.

He only wears a pair of beige pants and metal knee-pads designed to emulate skulls. His feet and torso are left bare.

Before his transformation, Nomu had the appearance of a regular human with light olive green hair and thick lips.
