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 "Miraculous", followed by their superhero 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 creative 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.
- Undoing the effects of the strain young holders have suffered if they've used their Miraculouses for evil.[1]
- 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. When Chronobug used the power in "Miraculous London", she retained full memories of the previous timeline that she made sure never came to be and everything she went through that night, on the other hand, the "new Hawk Moth" remembered nothing of the original timeline where she succeeded in stealing the Miraculouses and making her wish.
Additionally, the Lucky Charm object doesn't have to be completely intact or need all the pieces for the Miraculous Ladybug to work, a small fragment of the Lucky Charm is enough, as seen in "Robostus", "Sapotis", "Sandboy", "Weredad", "Queen Banana", "Derision", "Protection" and "Adoration".
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.
As seen in "Deflagration", the holder can be the one to call on the Miraculous Ladybug, even if Tikki was the one to create the Lucky Charm.
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. It's possible a holder with their adult powers could simply create another Lucky Charm to fix everything as they go.
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 rampaging Sentimonster and 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.
For minors, they only have five minutes to solve the crisis with their Lucky Charm object before they transform back and the object disappears so if they don't solve the crisis before then it's the same thing no 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 one 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 restore a Sentimonster whose Amok has been released.
- However, if the Sentimonster itself was killed/destroyed through other means, but their amok is still intact and inside their Amokized object, then the Sentimonster can be brought back with the magic ladybugs.
- 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 as seen in "Timebreaker".
- The magic ladybugs cannot revert reality that has been altered by the Ultimate Miraculous Absolute Power.
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.
It could be when used for evil instead of restoring anything or anyone harm in the crisis it could be that the magic ladybugs won't do anything or at least cause more damage.

- Coincidentally, the titular villains of each of these episodes are the only akumatized villains in the series to have heterochromia.

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.
