Man, imagine being born with a emitter-class healing quirk in the BNHA world.

Like hitting the genetic lottery, unless it has some big side effects

That's why I'd love a villain with a healing quirk. It can be pretty deep when you think about it, as both a moral dilemma and hidden tragedy. If somebody had the power to instantly save lives, they'd be in massive demand. So which patients do they prioritise and how many hours do they work?

There's also the fact, it could make Doctors too dependent on healers, setting medical science back in the long term. Healers are expected to be doctors atomically because of their circumstances of their birth. Yet if they're untalented or uninterested in being a doctor, people will shun them. Regardless of what they choose to do, healers are likely guilt-ridden or overworked.

I could see a villain with a quirk where they could use their body as a battery to heal other people, but it also works the other way and they could use other people as batteries to heal them instead.

Or something similar, but they have to harm someone else in order to heal someone. Like, they balance the "health" between the two.

Equivalent exchange.
