Here is everything you need to know about the best pro heroes in My Hero Academia.

Sir Nighteye

As All Might’s side-kick, Sir Nighteye is exceptionally powerful, but his Foresight Quirk doesn’t technically bolster his combat ability. Despite initially dismissing Deku as an incompetent wielder of All Might’s Quirk, he reevaluates his stance after watching the young boy in action.

Nighteye is anxious about employing Foresight without a solid reason—he recognizes the inexorable link between his power and his emotional state, something most Pro Heroes don’t even realize, let alone incorporate into their battle tactics.

Mirko

There aren’t many bells and whistles attached to Mirko’s Rabbit Quirk. It merely gives her leporine abilities like kicking and leaping, except with enough force to obliterate buildings and decapitate High-End Nomus.

Mirko’s unyielding nature can be construed as arrogant by people who don’t know her very well, but her overpowering strength more than balances out her self-reliant streak. Mirko’s overtly blunt habits aside, there is nothing in the world that can stop her from protecting those in need, even if it means sacrificing her own life in the process.

Eraser Head

Power is always best in the hands of someone who doesn’t want it, and there are few characters in My Hero Academia better suited for leadership than Eraser Head. Although he dedicates himself to educating future generations of heroes, it’s clear that Eraser Head could have easily become one of the greatest Pro Heroes of his generation.

As Class 1-A’s homeroom teacher, he puts them through a grueling routine that eventually transforms his students into unique forces of nature. Eraser Head continues fighting regardless of injury, illustrating his unbreakable conviction and resilience.

Gran Torino

All Might shudders when he discusses Gran Torino with Deku. So the latter naturally displays trepidation at the idea of training under the retired hero. Gran Torino pretends to be an elderly, decrepit man at first, lulling Deku into a false sense of security.

However, the old hero quickly reveals his true colors. Justifying All Might’s fears by smacking his unsuspecting student across the room without respite. Gran Torino is a remarkable teacher, considering that he helps Deku control One For All, replicating the lessons he had given All Might several decades ago.

Endeavor

Endeavor might be the top hero in Japan, but in his heart, he will always be second to All Might. That being said, he is gradually moving past his various self-doubts and trying to become a better person and hero.

Endeavor’s talents are unparalleled in every respect. The fact that his Quirk is named Hellflame is evidence of his insurmountable power. All Might’s retirement forces Endeavor to live up to his new position. But he claws his way out of the emotional gutter and rises to the occasion.
