The Ultimate Ranking: 25 Unstoppable Quirks in My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia boasts a collection of captivating, practical, and exceptionally formidable Quirks, with certain ones undeniably standing out as the finest within the series. Comparing Quirks can prove to be challenging, given their extensive range of capabilities, ranging from augmenting physical strength to manipulating fibers and nearly everything in between. What may initially appear irrelevant can greatly enhance one's combat performance, underscoring the value of a commendable Quirk.

While some Quirks possess inherent threat individually, others truly shine when utilized in tandem with other Quirk users. However, this does not diminish their worth. The most exemplary Quirks demonstrate tremendous versatility, applicable to a diverse array of situations, surpassing mere raw power (though that is undeniably impressive as well). The true might of a Quirk resides within its wielder, for even a seemingly feeble Quirk can yield surprising peril when in the right hands. One must also possess a thorough understanding of their Quirk to fully unleash its capabilities, as this is what paves the way for imaginative applications.

25 Hardening - Eijiro Kirishima

One of the standout characters in the My Hero Academia anime is Eijiro Kirishima, a Class 1-A student at U.A. His quirk, Hardening, allows him to reshape his body into an incredibly durable substance and transforms his arms into lethal weapons. While not the most flashy ability among his classmates, it has proven to be highly effective in battle, causing devastating damage to his enemies. Kirishima has showcased his exceptional combat skills during his training sessions with Pro Hero Fat Gum and once again during the intense Shie Hassaikai attack, where he fearlessly faced off against some of the most formidable villains in My Hero Academia.

24 Creation - Momo Yaoyorozu

Momo possesses the extraordinary ability to generate any object from her body fats, displaying nearly boundless creativity and versatility. From tranquilizers to formidable cannons, her repertoire knows no bounds, solidifying her position as an invaluable asset to any team. Instantaneously conjuring whatever a hero may require, Momo's proficiency is unparalleled. Nonetheless, the excessive utilization of her Quirk exacts a physical toll, depleting her body fat reserves and leaving her drained. Without a doubt, this Quirk's potential is truly realized through Momo's exceptional intellect and ingenuity.

23 IQ - Saiko Intelli

A minor character in the anime version of the Provisional Hero License Exam arc, Saiko Intelli is a student at Seiai Academy. Despite being outsmarted by Momo Yaoyorozu and her group of students, Saiko displays exceptional leadership skills and possesses a unique and essential ability. Known as IQ, Saiko's quirk allows her to temporarily enhance her intelligence by consuming tea. The effects of different types of tea vary, and in the anime, Saiko is shown drinking English High Tea, which appears to grant her advanced predictive capabilities.

22 Dark Shadow - Fumikage Tokoyami

Tokoyami possesses the Quirk known as Dark Shadow, a malevolent spirit that is bound to his body. This ethereal entity possesses immense power and possesses a degree of autonomy, enabling it to carry out attacks independent of Tokoyami's direct commands. Tokoyami exhibits his ingenuity by utilizing Dark Shadow to transport himself, effectively granting him the capability to soar through the air. Dark Shadow's potency amplifies in dimly illuminated surroundings, occasionally propelling it into an uncontrollable state, particularly during the early stages of the series. By strategically selecting the environment, Tokoyami's Dark Shadow becomes an indomitable force.

21 Despot - Dictator

Dictator, a character introduced in the Dark Hero arc, is a minor villain who possesses a remarkable Quirk called Despot. This unique ability grants Dictator the power to manipulate others like puppets using thin strings. In an encounter with Deku, Dictator astoundingly commands a large group of people simultaneously. These innocent individuals, under his control, are fully conscious of their predicament and desperately plead for assistance. Deku finds himself in a difficult position as he cannot fight back without causing harm to the controlled individuals. Fortunately, Bakugo arrives just in time to intervene and puts a stop to the situation by launching an attack from above, catching Dictator off guard.

20 Transform - Himiko Toga

By obtaining a small amount of blood, Toga possesses the remarkable ability to assume the appearance of anyone, making her an unparalleled expert in infiltration and disguise. This talent was brilliantly exhibited during the Provisional Hero Licensing exams, where she successfully masqueraded as Camie to gain access to the test. Furthermore, Toga's Quirk has evolved into an even more formidable force, allowing her to wield the Quirks of her transformed victims—or at least, those belonging to individuals she holds deep affection for. This element of surprise renders Toga a highly unpredictable opponent in combat, granting her a significant advantage when pitted against heroes.

19 Copy - Neito Monoma

Neito Monoma possesses a distinct Quirk, which grants him the capability to replicate other individuals' Quirks. Although there are certain restrictions and limitations on the Quirks he can copy, it remains an incredibly valuable ability with endless potential applications. Despite the limitations, this power is immensely advantageous, enabling Monoma to display considerable versatility in various scenarios. He can even employ an opponent's Quirk against them, depending on its nature.

18 Confession - Shin Nemoto

Confession, wielded by Shie Hassaiki affiliate Shin Nemoto, is a quirk that allows its user to uncover the truth from anyone through questioning. While not particularly advantageous in combat, it plays a crucial role in Overhaul's interrogations. Shin Nemoto was highly respected by the notoriously irritable Overhaul and held a vital position in the villain's inner circle known as the Eight Bullets. Unfortunately, Shin Nemoto remained loyal to Overhaul until the end, leading to his imprisonment following the eventful Shie Hassaiki arc in My Hero Academia.

17 Warp Gate - Kurogiri

Though not individually powerful, Kurogiri serves as a valuable asset to Tomura Shigaraki and the League of Villains. Kurogiri's quirk, warp gate, allows for the manipulation of dense fog to teleport friends and foes alike, making him instrumental in their infiltration of the USJ in the anime's first season. This ability serves as an effective means of transportation and a convenient escape from dangerous situations, enabling the League of Villains to remain elusive. While Kurogiri has shown vulnerabilities during the USJ attack, he remains an essential member of any villain group.

16 Erasure - Shota Aizawa

Despite lacking conventional power, U.A. professor Shota Aizawa possesses a highly valuable quirk for combat. With Erasure, Aizawa can temporarily disable an individual's quirk simply by maintaining eye contact. While it has its limitations, such as a short duration and causing dry eye, we have witnessed him using it to preserve lives in previous instances. Although he may not be capable of leveling city blocks or overpowering opponents, he remains more than capable of being the hero that saves the day.

15 Blood Curdle - Hero Killer: Stain

Stain possessed an exceptionally brutal combination of quirk and personality. His Quirk, Blood Curdle, granted him the ability to immobilize anyone whose blood he consumed. This power proved highly effective in violent confrontations, allowing him to exploit frozen opponents for physical harm or even death. In the hands of a merciless individual like Stain, this Quirk possessed immense power and presented immense danger. This was evident in the infamous battle where he faced off against three U.A. students. It leaves fans to ponder how his Quirk could have been harnessed had he chosen the path of a hero.

14 Heal - Recovery Girl

Recovery Girl possesses an extraordinary talent for healing the wounds of individuals through a simple kiss. As a valued member of U.A.'s faculty, her presence is crucial for facilitating dangerous exercises alongside students. She has been observed providing healing assistance to Izuku Midoriya on multiple occasions. However, it is important to note that there are limitations to her abilities. While her healing power enhances the body's innate recovery capacity, excessive use can have devastating consequences. Nevertheless, the significance of her power cannot be understated, and it remains uncertain how U.A. will adjust once she is no longer able to fulfill her duties.

13 Half-Cold Half-Hot - Shoto Todoroki

Most of the elemental quirks showcased in the anime demonstrate varying levels of usefulness depending on the circumstances. However, a significant number of these quirks, as depicted in the series, are constrained by their surroundings. This is what sets Todoroki's quirk apart from the rest. Shoto Todoroki possesses the exceptional ability to manipulate both fire and ice, making his quirk remarkably robust. Due to his demanding upbringing under his strict father, Todoroki was already a skilled combatant prior to his enrollment at U.A. As a result of his quirk, Todoroki displays great versatility in battle, and he will undoubtedly become an even greater force to be reckoned with as his control over his quirk continues to grow.

12 Brainwashing - Hitoshi Shinso

Despite Shinso having a criminally undervalued quirk, it is not surprising that he failed the test for new students, considering the way it is conducted. However, this should not be taken as a measure of his quirk's strength. The ability to control minds should not be underestimated, especially when coupled with his talent for mimicking others' voices, which significantly increases his chances of eliciting a response from his targets. While playing a minor role in the anime's second season, Shinso has become a much more prominent character in the fifth season. His encounters with Deku have provided some of the season's most compelling moments, leaving no doubt that he possesses an incredible power.

11 Black Hole - Thirteen

Thirteen's focus on rescue rather than combat often leads to her being overlooked as a hero. However, underestimating her would be a grave mistake. The ability to create black holes is an extraordinary power, making Thirteen a formidable opponent in any battle. It is understandable why she has chosen to dedicate her quirk to rescue rather than causing harm. Her unique ability poses a significant danger, and there is always the possibility that she could inadvertently kill her adversaries, which goes against the code of conduct heroes adhere to.

10 Decay - Tomura Shigaraki

Tomura Shigaraki possesses one of the most unsettling quirks in My Hero Academia. Not only does it pose a significant threat, but it also inflicts excruciating pain and emits an extremely distressing appearance. Shigaraki possesses the ability to disintegrate matter, a power he demonstrated when he targeted Aizawa in the initial season. Shigaraki appears disinterested in utilizing his quirk to its full potential, and this could be a result of the immense physical agony it causes or other underlying reasons that discourage his reliance on this power.

9 Foldabody - Edgeshot

8 Explosion - Katsuki Bakugo

The Number Four Pro Hero and highest-rated member of The Lurkers, a group of heroes, is Pro Hero Edgeshot. He possesses a unique quirk called Foldabody, which he skillfully utilizes. This quirk allows him to transform his body into an incredibly thin and razor-sharp strand, enabling him to effortlessly slice through enemies and maneuver through tight spaces. Foldabody not only serves as a deadly offensive weapon but also provides versatility, making Edgeshot a valuable asset in various situations. During the third season of the anime, he played a significant role in the attack on Kamino Ward.

Katsuki Bakugo, the arch-nemesis of Izuku Midoriya, possesses an immensely destructive quirk called Explosion. This quirk grants him the ability to trigger and control explosions by igniting the nitroglycerin that he secretes from his hands. With this power, Bakugo can effortlessly incinerate his adversaries and has even honed his quirk to propel himself through the air using precise bursts.

7 Manifest - Tamaki Amajiki

Unfortunately, his immense power is balanced out by his fiery temperament. Bakugo, known for his hot-headedness, does not easily get along with others, which hampers his ability to function effectively in a team. Some fans even compare him to the Tsundere character archetype. However, his exceptional combat skills and possession of one of Class 1-A's most impactful quirks set him apart. Additionally, during the events of the Heroes Rising film, Bakugo briefly inherits Izuku Midoriya's One For All quirk.

Tamaki Amajiki's Manifest quirk may not appear particularly useful at first, but it possesses incredible power. By consuming animals, Amajiki can transform his appendages into theirs. Utilizing this ability, he can create tentacles and a colossal shell to entrap and strike his adversaries. Additionally, he can sprout wings, granting him an even greater advantage. Despite being known as Suneater, Amajiki struggles with an overwhelming lack of self-confidence. Nevertheless, he has managed to fend off multiple formidable opponents simultaneously, firmly establishing himself as one of the anime's most formidable characters.

6 Double - Twice

Twice possesses the Quirk of duplication, enabling him to replicate himself and others using precise measurements. Initially held back by a psychological barrier in My Hero Academia, he eventually overcame his obstacles during the Meta Liberation Army arc. This breakthrough granted him the capability to generate an infinite number of clones, causing the heroes to perceive him as a significant threat. To prevent the villains from gaining an advantage, the heroes deemed it necessary to eliminate him. Given the formidable ability to instantaneously summon an army, the heroes' extreme measures were understandable.
