(We’re covering anime and manga material through the current arcs, so minor spoilers ahead!)
15. Mei Hatsume – Support Genius
Quirk: Zoom
While not a frontline fighter, Mei’s ability to see across vast distances—combined with her unmatched engineering talent—makes her essential. Her gadgets can turn any hero into a powerhouse.
14. Mirko – Rabbit Hero
Quirk: Rabbit
Pure muscle and lightning reflexes. Mirko’s agility allows her to take down Nomu hordes solo, earning her a spot in Japan’s top five heroes.
13. Tamaki Amajiki – Suneater
Quirk: Manifest
By manifesting traits of anything he eats, Suneater creates tentacles, wings, or armor on demand. His adaptability lets him counter nearly any opponent.
12. Katsuki Bakugo – Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight
Quirk: Explosion
Bakugo’s sweat ignites into massive blasts, granting explosive speed and ranged firepower. His growth in tactical thinking puts him above many pros despite still being a student.
11. Shoto Todoroki
Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot
Combining his father’s fire with his mother’s ice gives Todoroki unmatched battlefield control—scorching heat for offense and ice walls for defense.
10. Enji Todoroki – Endeavor
Quirk: Hellflame
Now the official Number One Hero, Endeavor’s blue flames can melt steel and his relentless training ensures they burn hotter and longer than ever.
9. Edgeshot
Quirk: Foldabody
A stealth specialist who can flatten his body into razor-thin threads, Edgeshot strikes with surgical precision and incredible speed.
8. Hawks
Quirk: Fierce Wings
His razor-sharp feathers act as blades, shields, and rescue tools. Add top-tier intelligence gathering, and Hawks is the ultimate airborne hero.
7. Ryukyu – Dragoon Hero
Quirk: Dragon
Transforming into a massive dragon grants titanic strength and durability. Few villains can match her sheer scale and power.
6. Best Jeanist
Quirk: Fiber Master
Don’t underestimate denim. Jeanist controls any fiber with near-telekinetic mastery, restraining even high-end Nomu and keeping All For One at bay.
5. Eraser Head (Shota Aizawa)
Quirk: Erasure
Not raw force, but game-breaking utility. A single glance nullifies any Quirk, turning the tide of battles instantly.
4. Mirio Togata – Lemillion
Quirk: Permeation
Mirio phases through matter, making him untouchable and deadly. His speed and combat instincts let him fight entire squads solo.
3. Izuku Midoriya – Deku
Quirk: One For All (multiple quirks)
Deku now wields the combined power of previous users—super strength, Blackwhip, Danger Sense, Fa Jin, and more—putting him firmly among the elite.
2. All Might
Quirk: One For All (Prime)
At his peak, All Might symbolized invincibility. Even weakened, he remains a strategic force and an enduring symbol of peace.
1. Star and Stripe
Quirk: New Order
The late U.S. Number One Hero could impose reality-bending rules on anything she touched. Her fight against Shigaraki proved she’s the strongest hero we’ve seen.
