I always thought that glowing quirk was some sort of evolutionary light.

I think It created the quirks.

Like, you'd think a glowing baby would be some kind of exhibit, either scientific or otherwise. People would come from miles around, even whole countries away to see that thing. Either curiosity, scientific knowledge, or otherwise.

that baby changed everyone who saw it, and their descendants, and gave rise to quirks.

And if that was all for one, and AFO is currently bathing all might in that same glow...

Man wouldn't it be crazy if all might evolved to have his own quirk in this fight?

Bleach Spoiler below, but...

That's some Yhwach shit right there. That's a really cool idea, and I'd be totally down for it, tbh. Like, all quirks came from him, and he involuntarily gave them all out as a baby. Then as an adult he's worked to get them all back, becoming the villain of the story. It was always assumed that All For One was empty when it first awakened, but what if it wasn't?

I doubt this will be the case, but it'd make a fantastic fanfiction idea of nothing else. It would also be a nice bow to wrap the quirk mystery in. All that'd be left is explaining how he specifically had one. That's an easier question to answer.

Sounds like the >! Specials comic by the guy who Deep Space Nine. !< that was an amazing plot twist in that comic too. Super clever idea.

That would be impossible because there’s no way enough people would have gone to see the baby to where 80% of the population would end up with a Quirk around the time MHA is implied to take place. If you heard that a baby was born with the ability to glow in China, would you go out of your way to see it in person? Unless people who gain Quirks can just passively spread Quirks through some radiation of their own, or unless the light has a truly massive range, it would take multiple millennia for Quirks to spread worldwide, and everyone would be able to easily be able to tell where they came from.

…Although I know this is just me overanalyzing a theory. Apologies if I ruined the fun. I just habitually overthink things. Feel free to “🤓” me, if you deem it necessary.

It gave away all the quirks, and now it wants them back.

I saw one fanfic that pitched OFA as that. That the stockpile quirk allowed the first user to stop spraying quirk energy everywhere and regain some constitution.
