• Mic detests the media, and he absolutely loathes the tabloids and gossip magazines
• It’s so pronounced that most media sources leave him alone because their equipment goes haywire or stops working around him
• Mic uses infrasound to mess with the cameras and it makes being around him hellish/nauseating for the reporters
• It’s so pronounced around him that they suspect that he’s doing something but can’t figure out what because they can’t see him doing anything so they can’t retaliate
• It works so well in fact that Nedzu typically asks Mic to deal with school publicity when it gets out of hand because everyone knows that the fastest way to clear out news outlets is for Present Mic to show up
• Aizawa finds it hilarious
• Reporters see Mic coming nearly a mile away and trip over themselves in their haste to get away because their equipment is worth thousands of dollars and whatever they’re doing is not worth the certain death that is coming
• Reporters talk about him like a bad omen so often that anyone working in the media industry knows when they see people hastily packing up they need to go and go fast
• Insurance companies specifically have the “Mic policies” for camera and audio crews.
• Kayama thinks the smile that Mic makes at news reporters is creepy as hell
• It’s pure chaotic evil
• Tensei has a video of Mic casually strolling up behind unaware media outlets harassing Kayama after a scandal and you can see them start to look around, confused as hell and can pinpoint the exact moment they spot Mic because they just scatter
• The video gets shaky because Tensei is laughing so hard and just zooms on Mic’s shit-eating grin
