Why Katsuki Bakugo was so mean with Midoriya when he didnt have any quirk?


When a child, Midoriya didnt have any quirk. And at some point he considered
Bakugo his friend. Why then Katsuki Bakugo felt threatened by Midoriya? This
makes sense when Midoriya already had the One for All quirk and could be an
obstacle for Bakugo to become the greatest hero (which is Bakugo's goal), but
I can't understand why Bakugo was so mean to Midoriya when he was quirkless.
Is there any explanation about this?




Katsuki Bakugo throughout all of My Hero Academia has a superiority complex,
this is made evident by his lavish demands of not only Midoriya but also his
friend group at the start. It's quite simple to tell he has this
characteristic, as he is portrayed as being egotistical, arrogant and
_narcissistic_. This kind of behavior has two spectrum's too it in character
development **winning** or **losing** at the start he's higher in the pecking
order thus he strikes down **anyone** as to show his superiority and fuel his
own narcissistic traits. He specifically picks on Midoriya as he wants the
admiration of his peers as being the strongest, if he picked on someone else
it would be almost like saying they were stronger and he wouldn't potentially
gain there admiration. Another take would be that Midoriya being born
quirkless is actually kind of _rare_ as there is always the potential for him
to suddenly activate a quirk at any time, this unknown factor is a reason for
katsuki to be unsure of if he's at the top of the pyramid, thus he bully's him
to make sure he also believes he will never be strong.

This question as a whole is interesting because I believe there is a strong
psychological meaning behind all of this that adds a whole dynamic to there
relationship throghout the story so far.
