8Mirko
Mirko is one of the most muscular women in My Hero Academia, and she displays her physical strength by rushing into battles head-on without fearing anything. Mirko has a confident attitude against strong opponents, and she is the type to act before she thinks.
She may act rashly by jumping into powerless situations, but she has high pain endurance, and a few injuries aren’t enough to stop her. Her Quirk Rabbit gives her strong agility and power, which Mirko utilizes in the form of different moves to overwhelm an adversary.
7Gang Orca
As his name suggests, Gang Orca is as strong as a Killer Whale and displays similar traits. He can get a bit ruthless while training students, but according to him, it helps the young heroes grow when they overcome various difficulties. If you don’t know his profession, you might just mistake him for a villain.
Okuto Island is Gang Orca’s turf where he manages an Aquarium. He also personally deals with enemies found in the waters, where he has an upper advantage. His Quirk Orcinus grants him great strength and the ability to immobilize opponents.
6Midnight
Midnight was one of the teachers in U.A High School and a mentor to many of the young heroes including Creati. She also encourages students to think for themselves and do what they feel is right. When she was about to get killed by Gigantomachia, she entrusted her commanding position to Creati to make the best decision for the heroes.
Nemuri is stylish and makes sure to gather all the attention of the public with her charisma. Yet she doesn’t hesitate to go all out in battles and protects students at the cost of her life, which shows that, despite having an aloof personality, she can display courage when it counts the most.
5Edgeshot
Edgeshot is a ninja hero who also commands the Lurkers, a team he made with Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady. His Quirk allows him to stretch his body down to a thread. It complements his ninja style as it allows him to be more mobile and versatile with how he chooses to utilize it.
When Bakugo was badly injured in the battle against Tomura, and there was little hope remaining for his survival, Edgeshot maintained his composure and started fixing his heart by using the muscles from his body. It also shows him as a hero who prioritizes saving the lives of others around him at the cost of severely damaging himself.
4Best Jeanist
Best Jeanist sure knows how to fight while maintaining his style, and his Quirk relies on the garments around him that he can control to a fibrous level. He is also a charismatic hero, who tries to live his life with the best manners and elegance.
Best Jeanist acts as a mentor to Bakugo and tries to discipline his aggressive behavior. During the war with Villains, Best Jeanist plays a supporting role in the battle with Shigaraki, and even though his Quirk isn’t as powerful as many other Heroes, he can withstand lethal attacks with his fibres.
3Hawks
Hawks had a hard past where he had to deal with abusive parents as a child. When his father got caught for his crimes, he got noticed by the Hero Public Safety Commission when he protected some people using his Quirk. Hawks admired Endeavor since he was a child, and continues to assist him during battles.
Despite his tragic past, It’s admirable that Hawks didn’t resort to a path of villain, a road many took because of their mistreatment. Hawks is a strong hero, who was able to overcome Twice’s abilities, which let him multiply. Even after Dabi burns most of his feathers, Hawks chooses to be resilient and fights alongside heroes.
2All Might
All Might stayed as the Number One Hero for a long time, until he had to retire due to his damaged body in the battle with All For One. He is the mentor to the younger generation of Heroes and promises their parents to protect them with his life.
All Might is constantly watching over Midoriya after passing him One For All and is in charge of his training. He is a dedicated Hero, who blamed himself when he couldn’t do much while everyone else was fighting on the front lines. Throughout his career, All Might inspired many to tackle tough challenges and to never give up.
1Endeavor
Endeavor has one of the best redemption arcs in anime, and he started to play the role of a better father than a ruthless hero, whose goal was to surpass All Might. Endeavor is shown to be cruel to Shoto, and wants him to carry his burning ambitions. Endeavor later realized the error of his ways and tried to make it up to his family.
Endeavor remains one of the strongest heroes after All Might retires. He doesn’t hesitate to use powerful double-edged flame attacks that end up damaging himself. His moments where he uses Prominence Burn to finish off his enemies will always remain iconic.
