At U.A. High, Class 1-A stands as the heart of My Hero Academia — a group of young heroes-in-training, each driven by a burning sense of purpose and an unshakable dream. Every student in this iconic class brings something distinct to the table — from explosive forces of nature who fight with raw emotion, to sharp, tactical thinkers who wield intellect as their greatest weapon.

Their journey has been one of growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Within the walls of U.A., and on the battlefield beyond it, they’ve endured trials that tested not just their quirks — but their character. Every setback, every victory, has sculpted them into the heroes they’re destined to become.

Through relentless training, life-or-death missions, and moments of pure heart, the students of Class 1-A have transformed together — sharpening their quirks, strengthening their bonds, and redefining what it truly means to be a hero. From the quiet strategists to the unstoppable frontliners, each member of Class 1-A carries a story of grit, ambition, and incredible growth.

Now, as their journeys intertwine and their powers evolve, it’s time to see how far they’ve come — and who stands at the very top.

20. Toru Hagakure — The Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl

Among the shining personalities of Class 1-A, Toru Hagakure stands out — quite literally — by not being seen. Her quirk, Invisibility, bends light around her body, rendering her completely transparent. At first glance, it might seem like a simple or even playful ability, but Toru’s strength lies in how she wields subtlety as her weapon.

As the Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl, Toru thrives in situations that demand finesse and surprise. Her quirk grants her natural camouflage, allowing her to slip past enemies unnoticed or strike from angles they’d never anticipate. But beyond her lighthearted energy and cheerful personality, there’s an adaptability to her that often goes overlooked — a quiet determination to be useful even when the spotlight can’t find her.

Throughout U.A. High’s trials and battles, Toru has learned to transform her invisibility from a passive trait into a strategic edge. And while her quirk keeps her unseen, her spirit and courage have made her presence unmistakably felt among her classmates. Fans finally catching a glimpse of her true form near the end of the series only reinforces what she’s represented all along — that being a hero isn’t about being seen; it’s about making a difference, even in the shadows.

19. Mashirao Ojiro — The Martial Arts Hero: Tailman

Calm, disciplined, and grounded — Mashirao Ojiro embodies the spirit of a traditional martial artist in a world brimming with flashy powers. His quirk, Tail, grants him a long, muscular appendage that moves with both grace and precision. It may appear modest compared to the explosive or elemental quirks of his classmates, but in Ojiro’s hands, it becomes an extension of his resolve.

As the Martial Arts Hero: Tailman, Ojiro blends instinct, technique, and focus into a fighting style that’s both elegant and devastatingly effective. His tail operates as a natural weapon — striking, blocking, and maneuvering with the control of a seasoned fighter. But what truly sets him apart isn’t just his physical skill — it’s his discipline, his quiet commitment to self-improvement, and the humility with which he carries his strength.

Ojiro doesn’t chase the spotlight. He stands for honor, balance, and perseverance — a hero who proves that even the simplest quirks can become extraordinary when forged through dedication. In every battle, his movements speak louder than words — precise, purposeful, and powerful — just like the hero he’s becoming.

18. Koji Koda — The Petting Hero: Anima

Quiet, gentle, and kindhearted, Koji Koda is one of Class 1-A’s most unassuming heroes — yet beneath his soft-spoken nature lies an ability of remarkable potential. His quirk, Anivoice, grants him the power to communicate with and command animals, forging a bridge between the human and natural worlds that few can match.

As the Petting Hero: Anima, Koda can summon allies from land, air, or sea — orchestrating ambushes, gathering intelligence, or creating diversions that turn the tide of battle. From flocks of birds to colonies of insects, his reach extends wherever nature exists, giving him a quiet but undeniable advantage in almost any environment.

While his power may not focus on direct confrontation, Koda’s strength lies in his empathy and adaptability. His compassion for animals mirrors his care for his friends, and when danger strikes, that gentle heart becomes an unwavering source of courage. Through his connection with the natural world, Koda reminds us that heroism isn’t always about destruction or dominance — sometimes, it’s about harmony, understanding, and the quiet power of kindness.

17. Minoru Mineta — The Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice

At first glance, Minoru Mineta might come across as the comic relief of Class 1-A — impulsive, loud, and often distracted by his own antics. But beneath the humor and bravado lies a surprisingly resourceful hero-in-training whose quirk, Pop Off, is far more versatile than it seems.

As the Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice, Mineta can produce sticky, purple spheres from his scalp — each one capable of adhering to almost any surface except his own. What begins as a seemingly odd ability quickly reveals itself as a tactical asset: he can immobilize enemies, construct instant barriers, and even scale walls with a surprising level of agility. His rapid regeneration of these adhesive spheres ensures he’s rarely out of options — though overusing them can leave him drained.

Mineta’s true strength lies not in raw power, but in quick thinking and adaptability. Time and again, he’s turned unconventional situations to his advantage, proving that courage doesn’t always roar. Beneath his immature exterior beats the heart of someone determined to survive, to prove himself, and to earn his place among future pro heroes — one sticky step at a time.

16. Yuga Aoyama — The Shining Hero: Can’t Stop Twinkling

Dazzling, dramatic, and delightfully eccentric, Yuga Aoyama radiates confidence — or at least, the appearance of it. Beneath his flamboyant charm, however, lies a deeply complex hero whose brilliance is both literal and symbolic. His quirk, Navel Laser, allows him to unleash a concentrated beam of energy from his stomach, capable of slicing through obstacles, propelling him through the air, and blinding opponents with its sheer intensity.

As the Shining Hero: Can’t Stop Twinkling, Aoyama’s power reflects his personality — bright, bold, and attention-grabbing. His quirk grants him incredible versatility and mobility, letting him attack from range or reposition himself midair with flair. Yet, for all its spectacle, the ability comes with painful drawbacks. Overuse brings severe abdominal strain, and his constant energy leakage forces him to wear a specialized belt to stabilize his power.

But Aoyama’s true strength shines in his heart. Behind the glitter and theatrics is a boy burdened by insecurity, longing for acceptance, and striving to stand proudly among his peers. His journey from self-doubt to self-sacrifice reveals a hero who sparkles not because he’s flawless — but because he dares to shine even when he’s breaking inside.

15. Hanta Sero — The Taping Hero: Cellophane

Energetic, dependable, and effortlessly cool under pressure, Hanta Sero brings both creativity and charisma to Class 1-A. His quirk, Tape, allows him to fire durable, ribbon-like strips of cellophane from his elbows — a deceptively simple ability that proves to be one of the most adaptable in the class.

As the Taping Hero: Cellophane, Sero uses his quirk with the precision of a seasoned acrobat and the resourcefulness of a true strategist. He can restrain opponents, immobilize targets, and craft instant traps, but what makes his ability truly stand out is its versatility. With his tape, Sero swings across buildings, glides through forests, and maneuvers across battlefields with the fluid grace of a hero who turns every environment into his playground. Beyond combat, his quirk proves invaluable — reinforcing structures, rescuing allies, and lending support wherever it’s needed.

Sero’s easygoing attitude often hides just how sharp and capable he is. Whether he’s cracking jokes or diving headfirst into danger, his adaptability and quick thinking make him a vital part of any team. In a world full of explosive powerhouses, Hanta Sero reminds us that sometimes, the strongest heroes are the ones who keep everything — and everyone — connected.

14. Mezo Shoji — The Tentacle Hero: Tentacole

Stoic, loyal, and quietly powerful, Mezo Shoji is one of Class 1-A’s most dependable heroes — a towering figure whose strength is matched only by his compassion. His quirk, Dupli-Arms, allows him to replicate his own body parts — eyes, ears, mouths, or even full limbs — at the ends of six extendable tentacles. What might seem monstrous at first glance is, in truth, a gift of incredible versatility and balance.

As the Tentacle Hero: Tentacole, Shoji embodies adaptability in motion. His replicated limbs serve countless purposes — extending his reach in combat, forming shields for defense, or amplifying his senses for long-range reconnaissance. Whether he’s gathering intel, rescuing teammates, or holding the line against overwhelming odds, Shoji’s ability to read the battlefield and respond in real time makes him an invaluable ally.

But beyond his physical prowess lies a deep sense of empathy and humility. Despite his intimidating appearance, Shoji is one of the most selfless and protective members of Class 1-A — a hero who leads not through ego, but through quiet strength. His presence reminds everyone around him that true heroism isn’t about being seen or celebrated — it’s about standing firm when others need you most.

13. Tsuyu Asui — The Rainy Season Hero: Froppy

Calm, composed, and endlessly reliable, Tsuyu Asui — who prefers the simple nickname Tsu — is one of Class 1-A’s most level-headed and capable heroes. Her quirk, Frog, grants her all the extraordinary abilities of an amphibian: the power to leap immense distances, scale vertical surfaces with ease, and use her incredibly long, prehensile tongue to grab, swing, or strike with pinpoint precision.

As the Rainy Season Hero: Froppy, Tsuyu thrives in both aquatic and urban environments, adapting to any terrain with instinctive fluidity. Her quirk extends far beyond her physical agility — granting her stealth through natural camouflage, exceptional underwater mobility, and even the ability to secrete sticky or mildly toxic mucus when the situation demands. From reconnaissance and rescue operations to direct combat, Froppy’s skill set makes her one of the most well-rounded young heroes in training.

Yet what truly defines Tsuyu isn’t just her versatility — it’s her clarity of thought and emotional steadiness. She’s often the moral compass of Class 1-A, bringing calm to chaos and reason to fear. Whether leading a stealth mission or supporting her friends, Tsuyu Asui proves time and again that true strength lies not in flash or fury, but in quiet confidence and unwavering heart.

12. Kyoka Jiro — The Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack

Cool, composed, and effortlessly sharp, Kyoka Jiro is the definition of understated power. Her quirk, Earphone Jack, allows her to extend the jacks on her earlobes like cords — a unique ability that transforms sound itself into both weapon and tool. By plugging these jacks into walls, the ground, or even opponents, she can detect distant noises, read vibrations, and sense movements with remarkable precision.

As the Hearing Hero: Earphone Jack, Jiro thrives on awareness — turning sound waves into strategy. Her ability to gather intel and track enemies makes her an exceptional support hero, while her offensive prowess, amplified through her sonic amplifiers, allows her to unleash devastating sound-based attacks capable of shattering both defenses and eardrums. Whether she’s scouting enemy positions or holding the line, Jiro’s balance of brains, reflexes, and rhythm keeps her one step ahead.

But beneath her punk-rock coolness and sarcastic edge lies a heart full of empathy and artistic soul. Music is her language, and it’s through rhythm and resonance that she connects with others. On the battlefield or on stage, Kyoka Jiro proves that being a hero isn’t just about strength — it’s about finding your own frequency and making the world listen.

11. Rikido Sato — The Sweets Hero: Sugarman

Warm-hearted and dependable, Rikido Sato is Class 1-A’s quiet powerhouse — a hero whose strength literally runs on sweetness. His quirk, Sugar Rush, allows him to multiply his physical power up to fivefold by consuming sugar. In moments of need, a single bite transforms him into a bursting force of raw strength, capable of leveling obstacles, overpowering villains, and turning the tide of a fight through sheer physical dominance.

As the Sweets Hero: Sugarman, Sato’s quirk is both a blessing and a challenge. Each dose of sugar grants him roughly three minutes of supercharged might for every 10 grams consumed — but when the rush fades, it comes at a cost. Fatigue and mental sluggishness set in, leaving him vulnerable until his body recovers. This limitation demands precision and timing; Sugarman’s power isn’t about endurance, but about impact — the ability to deliver decisive blows exactly when they matter most.

Beyond his strength, Sato’s heart is what makes him a true hero. Always caring for his classmates — often through his love of baking — he brings a sense of warmth and camaraderie that keeps Class 1-A grounded. In a world where quirks often define worth, Rikido Sato reminds us that real strength is just as much about kindness and control as it is about power.

10. Mina Ashido — The Ridley Hero: Pinky

Vibrant, fearless, and full of life, Mina Ashido embodies the spirit of heroism with her boundless energy and unshakable optimism. Her quirk, Acid, allows her to secrete and control a corrosive liquid from her body — a substance she can manipulate in both concentration and viscosity. With it, she melts through barriers, neutralizes enemy attacks, and creates improvised defenses with effortless creativity.

As the Ridley Hero: Pinky, Mina’s mastery over her quirk makes her a formidable fighter and a dynamic mover on the battlefield. Her ability to regulate her acid’s consistency lets her not only attack but also increase her mobility — sliding across her own acid like a skater cutting through chaos. Whether she’s launching into combat or rescuing teammates, her fluid agility keeps her constantly in motion, unpredictable and unstoppable.

Yet beneath her playful personality lies a core of courage and empathy. Mina’s cheerful nature masks a deep sensitivity to others’ emotions, and her ability to stay upbeat under pressure inspires those around her. She’s not just a burst of pink energy — she’s a reminder that confidence, compassion, and creativity can be as powerful as any weapon in a hero’s arsenal.

9. Denki Kaminari — The Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt

Sparky, charming, and always eager to prove himself, Denki Kaminari brings a literal jolt of energy to Class 1-A. His quirk, Electrification, grants him the power to generate and control electricity — a force that can be unleashed in devastating bursts or harnessed for precise, tactical strikes. Whether he’s stunning multiple enemies in one surge or powering support devices mid-fight, Kaminari’s electricity makes him a versatile and unpredictable combatant.

As the Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt, Denki’s potential shines brightest when he balances raw power with control. His electric attacks can cover wide areas and disable opponents in seconds, but overusing his quirk pushes his body to its limits — causing him to short-circuit and enter a dazed, vulnerable state. Through relentless training and the use of specialized support gear like his Pointers and Shooter, he’s learned to refine his aim and focus his energy, transforming wild discharges into precise, coordinated strikes.

Behind his laid-back humor and occasional clumsiness lies a hero with real spark — one who refuses to let setbacks dim his charge. Denki Kaminari embodies growth through persistence, proving that true power doesn’t just come from voltage — it comes from the courage to keep lighting up the battlefield, no matter how many times you short out.

8. Eijiro Kirishima — The Sturdy Hero: Red Riot

Fierce, loyal, and burning with unshakable conviction, Eijiro Kirishima is the beating heart of Class 1-A — a hero who defines strength not by power, but by spirit. His quirk, Hardening, allows him to transform his body into a rock-like form, dramatically increasing his durability, endurance, and physical strength. In battle, he becomes a living wall — one who can charge through explosions, take devastating blows head-on, and still rise to protect those behind him.

As the Sturdy Hero: Red Riot, Kirishima thrives in the chaos of close combat, using his hardened form to absorb damage and counter with devastating force. Every strike he throws carries not just power, but courage — the kind that comes from pushing past fear and self-doubt. Over time, he’s evolved his quirk into even stronger states, unlocking his “Unbreakable” form — a testament to his willpower and his refusal to yield, no matter the odds.

But what makes Kirishima truly heroic isn’t his unbreakable skin — it’s his unbreakable heart. He’s the kind of hero who dives in first, stands tall for his friends, and reminds everyone around him that bravery isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the choice to keep fighting through it. Red Riot isn’t just a name; it’s a promise — to always rise, no matter how hard the hit.

7. Momo Yaoyorozu — The Everything Hero: Creati

Elegant, intelligent, and endlessly resourceful, Momo Yaoyorozu stands as one of Class 1-A’s most brilliant minds and capable leaders. Her quirk, Creation, allows her to materialize any non-living object by converting her own body fat at the molecular level — a gift that turns knowledge into power. Whether it’s crafting complex machinery, life-saving tools, or devastating weaponry, Momo’s creations are limited only by her imagination and understanding of chemistry and physics.

As the Everything Hero: Creati, Momo embodies versatility. In combat, she adapts seamlessly — summoning shields for defense, cannons for offense, or support gear to bolster her teammates. Her quirk thrives under pressure, rewarding her strategic planning, intellect, and composure. Every object she creates is the product of not just talent, but thought — each move carefully calculated to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal waste.

Yet beyond her genius lies an even greater strength — her growth. Momo’s journey is one of learning to trust herself, to rise from self-doubt, and to lead with quiet confidence. She isn’t just a creator of objects; she’s a creator of possibility — a hero who proves that true power isn’t just what you can make with your hands, but what you can build with your mind and heart.

6. Tenya Iida — The Turbo Hero: Ingenium

Disciplined, honorable, and driven by a deep sense of duty, Tenya Iida represents the ideal of what a true hero should be — fast in action and steadfast in principle. His quirk, Engine, grants him powerful engines embedded in his calves, propelling him to incredible speeds and giving his kicks the impact of a high-velocity strike. With unmatched acceleration and agility, he can dart across battlefields, close distances in the blink of an eye, and deliver rapid attacks that few can counter.

As the Turbo Hero: Ingenium, Iida’s quirk makes him a powerhouse of mobility and precision. His speed isn’t just about offense — it allows him to defend, rescue, and reposition with tactical finesse, making him invaluable in both solo missions and team operations. However, his engines demand careful management; overuse can lead to overheating or jamming, forcing him to balance raw power with endurance.

But Iida’s true strength runs deeper than his quirk. His intelligence, discipline, and unwavering moral compass make him a natural leader — one who embodies heroism through action and integrity. Whether racing to save a life or standing as a pillar of justice for his classmates, Tenya Iida doesn’t just move fast — he moves with purpose. And in every step he takes, the legacy of Ingenium blazes brighter.

5. Ochaco Uraraka — The Antigravity Hero: Uravity

Behind her warm smile and gentle heart lies a will as fierce as gravity itself. Ochaco Uraraka, known as the Antigravity Hero: Uravity, wields the quirk Zero Gravity — a deceptively graceful yet powerful ability that allows her to make anything she touches weightless. With just the press of her fingertips, she can lift massive debris, disarm enemies, and reshape the battlefield itself.

What makes Uraraka truly formidable is how she channels creativity through her power. Whether it’s neutralizing threats, granting her allies flight, or turning the terrain into a tactical advantage, she uses her environment like a dance partner — each move calculated, each motion purposeful. As she’s grown, so too has her mastery, learning to affect larger zones and combine agility with ingenuity in high-stakes combat.

Yet her quirk demands balance; push too far, and the same force that frees others from gravity can turn against her, leaving her dizzy or sick. But Uraraka’s strength has never been just her ability — it’s her heart. Every time she fights, it’s not for fame or glory, but for the dream of giving her parents a better life and proving that kindness can stand firm against chaos.

4. Fumikage Tokoyami — The Jet Black Hero: Tsukuyomi

Cloaked in mystery and discipline, Fumikage Tokoyami, known as the Jet Black Hero: Tsukuyomi, commands one of the most fascinating and dual-natured quirks in U.A. — Dark Shadow. This living, sentient shadow emerges from within him, a manifestation of both his power and restraint. It is a companion born from the abyss — one that can strike, shield, and protect, mirroring Tokoyami’s will with an intensity that borders on spiritual.

Dark Shadow grants Tokoyami unmatched versatility — it can lash out from a distance, form barriers, or weave through the battlefield with ghostlike precision. Yet this power comes at a price. Under the light, Dark Shadow weakens; under the veil of darkness, it hungers, growing stronger but dangerously unpredictable. Tokoyami walks this fine line with stoic composure, mastering his bond through discipline, meditation, and trust.

Through rigorous training, he has evolved beyond his own shadows — learning to soar with Dark Shadow, taking to the skies in graceful, ravenlike flight. His strength lies not just in the ferocity of his quirk but in his balance — a harmony between light and dark, instinct and intellect, restraint and release.

3. Shoto Todoroki — The A.C. Hero: Shoto

Few heroes embody balance like Shoto Todoroki, the A.C. Hero, whose very existence is a fusion of extremes. His quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, grants him dominion over two opposing forces — ice from his right, fire from his left — an inheritance of both his lineage and his inner conflict.

From the calm precision of ice to the roaring passion of flame, Shoto wields contrast as his weapon. With a single motion, he can freeze entire landscapes, erect glacial barriers, or dash across his own ice in swift pursuit. From the other side, he can unleash infernal bursts of flame, shroud himself in heat, and counter overwhelming attacks with sheer combustion. Where one element weakens, the other restores him — ice cools his overheated body, flame thaws his frozen limbs — an eternal cycle of restraint and release.

But the essence of Todoroki’s power lies not just in its destructive potential — it’s in the discipline to balance it. His mastery of Flashfreeze Heatwave, where fire and ice erupt in unison, marks his evolution from divided potential to complete synergy. Every battle becomes a test of equilibrium, not just between temperature, but between heritage and self, anger and resolve, control and freedom.

In the end, Shoto’s power mirrors his journey — a perfect blend of cold logic and burning heart, standing as proof that strength is not born from one side of oneself, but from the courage to embrace both.

2. Katsuki Bakugo — The Bombshell Hero: Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight

If there were ever a force of nature in human form, it would be Katsuki Bakugo — the Bombshell Hero: Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, or simply Dynamight to the masses. His quirk, Explosion, channels pure power and ferocity, allowing him to secrete a nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms and ignite it at will. The result? Cataclysmic blasts that tear through enemies, defenses, and the air itself with unmatched precision and speed.

What makes Bakugo terrifyingly effective isn’t just the scale of his explosions — it’s the finesse behind them. Every detonation doubles as propulsion, letting him rocket through the air, pivot mid-fight, and close distances in the blink of an eye. His combat style is a volatile blend of brutal offense and high-speed acrobatics, turning him into both a wrecking ball and a tactician in motion.

Yet beneath the thunder of his quirk lies a razor-sharp intellect. Bakugo reads the battlefield like a predator — anticipating attacks, flanking opponents, and countering with precision blasts that feel almost surgical despite their raw power. He’s a fighter who thrives on intensity, constantly pushing himself to outthink and outmaneuver his foes.

While Explosion demands control and carries its dangers — from recoil strain to reduced efficiency in cold weather — Bakugo’s mastery turns those limits into fuel. Every fight is an explosion of determination, every blast a declaration of who he is.

1. Izuku Midoriya — The One For All Hero: Deku

At the heart of My Hero Academia stands Izuku Midoriya, the symbol of unwavering determination and the embodiment of inherited hope. Known as the One For All Hero: Deku, he carries the legendary quirk One For All, passed down by none other than Japan’s greatest hero, All Might. This power amplifies his physical capabilities to unimaginable levels — granting him superhuman strength, speed, and endurance, the kind that shatters mountains and reshapes the flow of battle.

But One For All is far more than brute force. Within it lies the legacy of its previous wielders — a network of memories, instincts, and quirks that Deku gradually learns to master. Through these vestiges, he wields a suite of abilities including Blackwhip for dynamic mobility and restraint, Danger Sense for heightened awareness, Smokescreen for tactical deception, Fa Jin for explosive bursts of kinetic power, Float for aerial combat and maneuverability, and Gearshift, which manipulates speed at a molecular level. Together, these powers make him a living embodiment of evolution — a hero constantly adapting, constantly growing.

Yet Deku’s strength doesn’t stem from his quirks alone. His tactical brilliance, analytical mindset, and unyielding optimism form the foundation of his heroism. He studies opponents with precision, improvises under pressure, and turns adversity into advantage. Each fight isn’t just a clash of power — it’s a reflection of his boundless will to protect and persevere.

From a quirkless dreamer watching heroes from afar to the torchbearer of the world’s greatest power, Deku’s journey is one of relentless growth and profound heart. Every scar and breakthrough pushes him closer to his ultimate goal — not just to become the strongest hero, but the kindest. 

From explosive prodigies to quiet strategists, every member of Class 1-A stands as a symbol of how passion, perseverance, and growth define true heroism. What makes these students special isn’t just their quirks — it’s their humanity. Each trial they face, each victory they earn, and each failure they endure brings them closer to what being a Pro Hero truly means.

Through their evolution, My Hero Academia continues to remind fans that heroes aren’t born — they’re shaped through heart, sacrifice, and the courage to rise again. Whether it’s Midoriya’s determination, Bakugo’s fiery ambition, or Todoroki’s balance between two halves of himself — every student represents a piece of the next generation’s hope.
