In My Hero Academia, there is a wide range of abilities that are highly sought after, as well as those that are not as desirable. However, these are the most dominant quirks featured in the franchise.
With the conclusion of My Hero Academia, we can now reflect on Kohei Horikoshi’s legendary manga as a whole. Throughout the superhero anime and manga, Deku and Class 1-A have faced numerous formidable foes, enduring many challenges along the way.
This has led to encounters with a variety of peculiar powers and skills. Certain heroes and villains possess straightforward Quirks that allow them to manipulate elements or alter their physical forms. However, things can become quite bizarre when dealing with others.
Additionally, we have compiled a list of the most formidable Quirks that have the potential to create significant issues within a short period of time, should the possessor decide to use them.
Astronomy: Black Holes
This Quirk grants users the ability to generate small vortexes that can pull in objects within a limited range. The same regulations still apply if an object is drawn too near, making it fortunate that Anan only employs this ability for attracting foes and tidying up debris.
The Power of Brainwashing
User: Hitoshi ShinsoFirst appearance: Chapter 33 In order to maintain balance in the power dynamics of My Hero Academia, this Quirk required strict limitations. If someone verbally responds to something Shinso says, he has the ability to control them like a personal slave. However, their brain function is restricted, so his commands must be kept relatively simple. Despite this restriction, with a bit of creativity, things can quickly become chaotic.
8. Explosion
User: Katsuki BakugoFirst appearance: Chapter 1
Initially, Bakugo’s quirk appeared to be a simple pyrotechnic power. However, as the story progresses, it becomes apparent that his quirk is much more explosive than originally thought. The intensity of his explosions increases in proportion to the amount he sweats, causing his quirk to become hotter and eventually reach the level of generating small nuclear explosions that resemble lava. It’s quite impressive.
7. Decay
User: Tomura ShigarakiFirst appearance: Chapter 16Despite already being unsettling, Shigaraki’s possession of the power to disintegrate anything he touches adds even more danger to his villainous persona. The destructive nature of Decay poses a major threat to anyone who dares to defy its user. As Class 1-A are still young students, the thought of being reduced to dust in an instant can be truly traumatic for younger viewers.
6. Fierce Wings
User: Keigo Takami First appearance: Chapter 185 Despite not being as visually intimidating as other Quirks like Decay and Brainwashing, Fierce Wings stands out due to its immense power and adaptability. By manifesting two formidable wings, Takami is able to fly at incredible speeds and manipulate each feather with precision, giving him complete mastery over his movements. This ability truly embodies the grace and strength of an eagle.
5. New Order
Star and Stripe, a character who first appeared in Chapter 330 of the series, possesses the unique ability to manipulate reality by creating specific ‘rules’ for her target upon physical contact. While this may seem esoteric in theory, it essentially allows her to alter her opponent’s surroundings and situation at her discretion. She has mastered various techniques for utilizing this power, even incorporating herself into the commands, making it an incredibly versatile and formidable ability. The magnitude of its potential is almost absurd.
Hellflame
User: Enji Todoroki First appearance: Chapter 28
Enji’s Quirk, Hellflame, may sound unusual, but it is essentially a more controlled version of Explosion. Unlike traditional explosions, his flames are less volatile and can be manipulated to varying temperatures. It’s no surprise that this ability suits the number two Pro Hero perfectly.
3. Rewind
In My Hero Academia, Kohei avoids the complexities of outright time travel, which is already explored in X-Men, and instead introduces a more disturbing concept. Eri’s Quirk has the ability to manipulate people’s cells, causing their bodies to revert to a previous state. This can result in the reopening of old wounds, weakening of muscles, or even erasing one’s existence entirely. Eri struggles to control this power and its trigger remains a mystery, rendering it dormant for now.
Two for all
In Chapter 1 of My Hero Academia, Izuku Midoriya makes his first appearance as the user of a transferable skill that transforms him into a Superman-like figure. Taking over the mantle from All Might, this skill, known as One For All, allows Deku to tap into endless amounts of energy to boost his strength and speed, similar to a Super Saiyan. It effectively turns him into the Shonen equivalent of the Man of Steel, although it may not be the most formidable Quirk in existence.
All For One
User: Tomura Shigaraki/All For OneFirst appearance: Chapter 59All For One, the counterpart to One For All, allows the user to absorb and utilize the Quirks of others at their own discretion. This makes the user an immediate danger, which is why Shigaraki becomes nearly invincible towards the end. It is the ideal ability for a villain, relying on taking advantage of others and mistaking power for true strength. However, despite its immense power, it does not guarantee victory over any other Quirk for this very reason.
These Quirks are the most powerful.
