Summary
The world of anime is extremely vast, but only a handful of series have managed to achieve success on a global scale, and over the past five years,My Hero Academiahas become one of those series. It takes place in a world where most of the population has some type of quirk (superpower), and it focuses on Izuku Midoriya – a quirkless teenage boy who is given a quirk by his personal hero, All Might.
There are a lot of powerful quirks in this universe, and not everyone uses them for good; in fact, there is an entire league of criminals who are dedicated to villainy. Since villains exist, Heroes do too, and they all possess quirks that are both powerful and versatile, but some of these Hero quirks are more powerful than the rest.
Updated on June 28, 2025 by George Voutiritsas:My Hero Academia debuted in 2014, and it has gone on to become one of the most popular anime and manga series in the world. The series has one of the best power systems in all of anime, as the majority of individuals in MHA are born with their Quirks.
As the story has progressed, fans have seen several unique and versatile quirks on both the Hero and Villain sides, and some of the best quirks happen to belong to Pro Heroes. Season 7 of My Hero Academia has come to an end, and the final war is in full swing, so it only seems fair to recognize a few more ofMHA’s best Hero Quirksin the latest update for this list.
Ultimate Move
Currently Unknown
In terms of actual combat ability,Recovery Girlis one ofthe series' weakest characters,but she still possesses one of thestrongest quirks inMHA.It is calledHeal, and it pairs well with her medical expertise. As the name suggests, it allows her to heal others, and she does so by amplifying the human body’s natural healing process.
She can only activate this quirk by kissing the injured person, and the actual healing process is dependent on the patient’s overall life force. She may not be able to do anything about missing limbs, but she can heal broken limbs and bones in just a few seconds.
Darkseek
Black received very little screen time in the anime, which is to be expected since it belongs toShihai Kuroiro of Class 1-B. It actually did not appear untilMHA’sfifth season. It seemingly causes the user’s skin to become pitch black, butthey can merge their body with anything dark, including darkness caused by shadows. Black does not have any size or weight restrictions, which means Shihai can merge with something as small as a mushroom.
As one might expect,Black is highly effective in cramped areaswith little to no lighting because of the abundance of shadows. Black is great for launching sneak attacks on unsuspecting targets because it allows Shihai to move incredibly fast, even when he is carrying someone. Unfortunately,Black has a few weaknesses, If a shadowed are gets lit up, Shihai will automatically be ejected from the darkness. If he merges with a small object that gets grabbed by an enemy, he will not be able to escape.
Midnightdied during the war with the Paranormal Liberation Front, but she went out fighting. She possessed theSomnambulist Quirk, which allowed her to put people to sleep. This occurred because she was able to produce a sleep-inducing aroma from her bare skin.
This Quirk worked better on males, which means thatshe could have technically beaten All Might in his prime. She used a feather fan during combat so that she could better spread her aroma, and her costume was designed to tear easily, so her skin could be exposed.
Snipeis an experienced Pro Hero, but he is also in charge of the third-year students at U.A. High School. He looks like a stereotypical cowboy, which is understandable since hisHoming Quirkturns him into a sharpshooter. Homing gives Snipe the power to lock onto any target within his field of vision - which spans roughly 650 yards. The projectiles that he shoots will then chase the target until they hit.
Snipe used Homing inMy Hero Academia’s first season, and he took out several low-level Villains with it. Snipe’s projectiles will always hit the target, but he cannot choose specific body parts. The projectiles are not that strong, but they can still pierce through flesh. The Homing Quirk wounded Tomura Shigaraki multiple times during the U.S.J. Incident.
Sugar Rush
Sugar Rush belongs to Rikido Satoof Class 1-A , and for some reason, it was hardly showcased in the anime and manga. Whenever Sato ingests ten grams of sugar,his physical strength multiplies five-foldfor three minutes. Raw sugar is the best, but Sugar Rush can be activated if Sato eats enough sweets or drinks enough soft drinks. It goes without saying, that this Quirk is completely powerless if there is no sugar around.
Sato can punch through objects and opponentswith relative ease while Sugar Rush is in effect. Thanks to his training regiment, he has increased his base physical strength, which in turn amplifies the strength offered by Sugar Rush. While Sugar Rush is active, Sato has to deal with lowered cognitive functions and decreased intelligence, making him somewhat of a berserker.
Construction-Done-Kwik: Weldcraft
Weld is a special Quirk in the sense that it can technically immobilize any target.Yosetsu Awase of Class 1-Bused it to immobilize Katsuki Bakugo during the Joint Training Battle. Weld gives Yosetsuthe power to merge organic and inorganic matterat a subatomic level. He needs to physically touch the two objects in order to weld them together, meaning he needs to get very close to his target, which is inherently dangerous.
to use Weld properly, Yosetsu carries multiple small steel logs. These logs allow him to fuse targets to structures much easier. Weld may not be an offensive Quirk, but it can end a fight very quickly, and it makes transporting Villains easier because their arms and legs can be fused together via the steel logs. Beings with superhuman strength can still break free. Yosetsu also needs to make contact with more than one object, otherwise Weld will not work.
Meteor Fafrotskies
TheFrog Quirkhas allowedTsuyu Asuito become one of Class 1-A’s most dependable students. As its name suggests, Frog gives Tsuyu a variety of frog-related abilities. She can swim incredibly fast, climb walls, camouflage herself, and excrete mucus that can hide her scent and paralyze others. Tsuyu also possesses frog-like anatomy and incredible leg strength, which allows her to jump great distances.
While fighting, Tsuyu typically hits enemies with her powerful extending tongue, but she can also use her tongue to pull allies and civilians out of dangerous situations. Tsuyu can combine all her abilities and seemingly use each one without limit.Mutant Quirks come with some disadvantages though. Frogs are cold-blooded creatures, which means Tsuyu is highly susceptible to cold temperatures. Winter months hinder her greatly because she feels tired all the time, and extreme temperature changes can put her to sleep.
Splitgill Lung Strike
Kinoko Komoriis studying to become a Pro Hero at U.A. High School, but she is a member ofClass 1-B. Thanks to theMushroom Quirk, she has the ability to generate and spread fungus spores from her body. These spores will rapidly grow into full-size mushrooms once they touch a solid surface. The mushrooms can cover an entire area, and they can fully cover a person’s body.
The spores spread quickly in humid environments, so Komori uses gun-like spray bottles to raise humidity levels. While fighting villains, Komori typically summons the fungi schizophyllum. This fungi grows in their throats and knocks them out via asphyxiation. The Mushroom Quirk can take out dozens of opponents at the same time, but it can also target her allies if she is not careful. This Quirk can be countered with fire and ethanol.
Roaring Rage
TheBeast Quirkfirst appears inMy Hero Academia’s Joint Training Arc. It belongs toJurota Shishida,and it has allowed him to become one of Class 1-B’s strongest fighters. It is a pretty simple Quirk, as it allows him to transform into a large, monstrous beast. He essentially becomes a sasquatch-wolf hybrid. Jurota gains a significant boost to his physical strength, to the point he can send enemies flying with a single swipe of his claws.
Jurota becomes deceptively fast while transformed and his body becomes far more durable. Even high-voltage electrical attacks cannot affect his body. It is worth mentioning that all of Jurota’s senses get enhanced as well. This allows him to track his targets. Beast is a powerful melee Quirk, but the animalistic tendencies cause Jurota to be far more reckless. As a result, he sometimes charges into inopportune situations that could have otherwise been avoided.
Shoot Shield
Crustmay have received very limited screen time, but at the time of his death, he was the No. 6 ranked Pro Hero in Japan. Thanks to theShield Quirk, he was able to create stone-like hexagon-shaped shields by growing them from his body.
He could expand his shields into larger shapes, and he would often use them to protect himself and others. This Quirk is great for defense, but it can also be used for offense. Crust could sharpen his shield’s edges to turn them into weapons, and he could perform ranged attacks by throwing them.
