## Miraculous Ladybug

* Normal
* Charmbug
* Mister Bug
* Scarabella
* Shadybug

### User:

The **Miraculous Ladybug** is the secondary special superpower of the Ladybug Miraculous.

## Description

This superpower allows the user to fix all the damaged caused by a specific villain or crisis. It is activated by the user speaking its name.

### Miraculous owner

After the crisis has been resolved, the Ladybug Miraculous owner throws the Lucky Charm object they previously created into the air and yells "Miraculous" followed by their superhero name. The Lucky Charm explodes into pink energy that transforms into a massive swarm of magic ladybugs that fly around the damaged area and fix any and all damage done since the crisis began. This includes:

* Healing those who were hurt.
* Fixing broken items whose destruction is what caused the crisis in the first place.
* Undoing the effects of what the villain has done.
* Any damage caused by the heroes themselves.
* Returning displaced people to where they are supposed to be.
* Returning displaced celestial bodies back to their proper orbit.
* It is even capable of repairing anomalies in the space-time continuum, such as by combining past and future selves back into a single being.

Besides fixing the damage of the past, with the help of Rabbit Miraculous superpower, Burrow, the magic ladybugs can travel through time and fix the damage done in the future, as seen in "Cat Blanc".

While using Lucky Charm causes her to start losing power, using Miraculous Ladybug does not, it being an optional power she can use before she detransforms.

Interestingly, it seems that the magic ladybugs don't affect anything that the Ladybug Miraculous holder sees as not being a bad thing. In "Dark Cupid", when the Miraculous Ladybug was used, it did not restore Chloé's autographed poster of Adrien after Sabrina, who had been turned hateful by the titular villains power, had drawn graffiti all over it. The same thing happened in "Darkblade", the magic ladybugs did not clear away the furniture that had been used to block the door, which allowed Marinette to prove to herself that she was capable of being both a hero and a leader.

Additionally, the Lucky Charm object doesn't have to be completely intact or need all the pieces for the Miraculous Ladybug to work, as seen in "Robostus", "Sapotis", "Sandboy", "Weredad", "Queen Banana", "Derision" and "Protection".

### Tikki

It is unknown if Tikki can use this power. Assuming she can, Tikki's version of the Miraculous Ladybug would most likely be far stronger than normal to the point of causing a magical disaster, same as all the other kwamis versions of their Miraculous superpowers.

## Weaknesses

One weakness of this power, revealed in "Reflekdoll", is that it can only repair the damage that's been done up to the point of its use. If used before the crisis is actually resolved, then it would fix all the damage done up to that point, however it would not be able to prevent any further damage from being caused, so it's best if the user waits to use it until the crisis is actually resolved.

Since this power allows the user to repair damage caused by a specific villain or crisis, it cannot restore anything that has nothing to do with the recently solved crisis and the magic ladybugs can only go as far as the range of the damage that that particular crisis has caused. Furthermore, the Ladybug Miraculous holder has to actually take up the fight against the crisis; if there are two simultaneous but unrelated crises, a Sentimonster or an akumatized villain at two different parts of the world that have nothing to do with each other for example, and the heroes only paid attention to one of them, the magic ladybugs would only be able to repair the damage of the crisis the heroes were focusing on. Additionally, if the problem is already gone by the time the heroes get there, then there is no longer a chance for repairs.

The user needs a Lucky Charm to make magic ladybugs appear, without one, they cannot activate the power. Furthermore, it has to be a real Lucky Charm as a fake replica of the Lucky Charm won't work.

It should also be noted that there are some conditions that are not subject to the restoration power:

* The magic ladybugs cannot retrieve lost Miraculouses.
	+ However, the magic ladybugs can fix damaged Miraculouses if they have been damaged during recent crisis.
* The magic ladybugs cannot restore a Sentimonster whose Amok has been released.
	+ However, they can still be brought back with the magic ladybugs, only if their amoks are still inside their Amokized objects.
* The magic ladybugs cannot revert anything on a mental and/or emotional state, unless the change in mind and/or emotion was directly caused by the crisis, such as it being done by an akumatized villain's powers.
	+ The magic ladybugs cannot restore a former guardian's memories when they pass their role, due to the Guardian's Code.
	+ The magic ladybugs cannot restore memories from a timeline that was undone by the power of Second Chance.
* The magic ladybugs can't heal those that were damaged by the jewels alone unless they were attacked directly by jewel's powers.
* It has been implied that the magic ladybugs cannot revive deceased people.
	+ However, they can revive people that were on the receiving end of lethal attacks during the recent crisis. This includes anything that would cause them to be erased from existence.
* The magic ladybugs cannot fix anything that's broken before an akumatized or amokized champion shows up, unless the object breaking is what caused them to show up.

So far, the magic ladybugs have only been confirmed to be able fix disasters that are caused by the Miraculous holders, kwamis, and the akumatized or amokized champions. It is unknown if they can repair damage not related to the Miraculouses.

## Trivia

* In the Korean version, the Miraculous Ladybug power is called "Mystical Healing Power."
* Only the holder of the Ladybug Miraculous can use the power. In "Reflekdoll" when Mister Bug uses it, it's called "Miraculous Mister Bug". In "Hack-San", when Scarabella uses it, it's called "Miraculous Scarabella". In "Miraculous Paris, when the evil counterpart of Ladybug uses it, it's called "Miraculous Shadybug".
* When Miraculous Ladybug comes out of the Lucky Charm object, it makes the shape of the Wheel of Life.
* The power of Miraculous Ladybug is limited to the time of the appearance of the akumatized villain but can even revert death within that time.
	+ In "Troublemaker", though, it is used after the titular villain has detransformed.
* In "Weredad" after the battle with Gigantitan, the power is used without the summoned Lucky Charm.
* In "Miraculer", Ladybug uses the power after the battle with the Lollipop Sentimonster, even though she didn't even use the Lucky Charm to defeat the Sentimonster.
* To summon Miraculous Ladybug, Ladybug always throws the object summoned by Lucky Charm into the air, even when it should have been impossible for her to retrieve it, as with:
	+ The coin used in the vending machine in "Mr. Pigeon".
	+ The spoon that is suspending Théo in "Copycat".
	+ The non-microwaveable frozen meal that was in the hotel kitchen's destroyed microwave in "Lady Wifi".
	+ The bouncy ball lost in Chloé's room in "The Evillustrator".
	+ The windup toy in Darkblade's armor in the episode of the same name.
	+ The car jack in Animan's mouth in the episode of the same name.
	+ The plastic tubing holding Oni-Chan to the pole in the episode with the same name.
	+ The motorcycle helmet that she crushed and left behind during the final confrontation with Psycomedian.
* Ladybug doesn't utilize Miraculous Ladybug before she detransforms in some cases after using Lucky Charm:
	+ The vinyl record in "The Bubbler".
	+ The traffic cone in "Timebreaker".
	+ The wetsuit in "Ladybug & Cat Noir".
	+ The fountain pen in "The Dark Owl".
	+ The teapot in "Sapotis".
	+ The potion bowl in "Syren".
	+ The candle in "Anansi".
	+ The mallet in "Style Queen".
	+ The abacus in "Malediktator".
	+ The racket in "Mayura".
	+ The giant plastic donut in "Weredad".
	+ The lipstick in "Oblivio".
	+ The ticket in "Ikari Gozen".
	+ The gong in "Desperada".
	+ The carousel token in "Heart Hunter".
	+ The basketball in "Miraculous Shanghai".
	+ The makeup kit in "Psycomedian".
	+ The trashcan lid in "Hack-San".
	+ The digital watch in "Ephemeral".
	+ The plastic tubing in "Destruction".
	+ The underpants in "Revolution".
	+ The piano, handcuffs, baker's peal, and tube of glue in "Re-creation".
* In "Simon Says", Ladybug uses it after Hawk Moth's final scene and before she captures and frees the akuma because she needs to fix her broken yo-yo.
	+ She also uses it before capturing the akuma in "Pixelator", because she needs her arm and leg to be healed before she can use her yo-yo.
	+ In "The Collector", she uses it to bring her yo-yo back from the Collector's book in order to capture the akuma with it.
	+ In "Frightningale", Ladybug does this to break Frightningale's spell on her so she can capture the akuma.
	+ In "Reverser", she does this to break Reverser's spell on her so she can capture the akuma.
	+ In "Sandboy", she does this to break Sandboy's effect on her.
	+ In "Gamer 2.0", she does this to free everyone Gamer held captive.
	+ In "Startrain", she does this to get the train and everyone in it to the train station in London before she releases the purified akuma.
* The only episodes in which Ladybug doesn't use this superpower are "Ladybug & Cat Noir", "Catalyst", "Destruction", "Illusion", "Intuition", "Emotion", "Revolution", "Representation", and "The Final Day".
* Since the Lucky Charm can be summoned with just a simple word, it's likely the restoration power works the same.

Kartos: @Thomas\_Astruc can Ladybug revert or heal injuries and death inflicted by akumas with her "fixing" power?

Astruc: @Kartos Anything

Kartos: @Thomas\_Astruc :O I'm assuming the amount of time she can go back to "undo" is very limited?

Astruc: @Kartos limited to the apparition of the akumatized villain.
