In a world where people with superpowers known as "Quirks"  are the norm, Izuku Mirdoriya dreams of becoming a Hero, even though he doesn't have a Quirk of his own. One day, he meets All Might, the greatest Hero of all, who finally gives him one...

Fan Theories

My Hero Academia is one of the hottest shonen anime of recent memory, so it's natural that fans are trying to fill in plot holes that the series itself has yet to explore.&nbsp;That's where these fascinating My Hero Academia fan theories come in. Like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/craziest-naruto-fan-theories/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">Naruto&nbsp;fan theories</a> and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/tokyo-ghoul-fan-theories/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">Tokyo Ghoul</a>&nbsp;speculations, these musings may offer answers to burning questions. Who is Izuku Midoriya's father? Who is the traitor Present Mic insists is feeding top secret information to the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-my-hero-academia-villains/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">League of Villains</a>? Why does Tomura&nbsp;Shigaraki&nbsp;walk around with a dismembered hand attached to his face? Maybe these theories can shed some light.

Anime Characters

My Hero Academia&nbsp;is a series filled with powerful characters, and some of them are in Class 1-A. Class 1-A is a group of students attending U.A. High School in the hopes of one day becoming professional heroes, and they have some serious potential.&nbsp;

Who are the&nbsp;strongest students in Class 1-A? With so many great contenders, it&#39;s hard to say. With his dual fire-ice quirk, Shoto Todoroki is definitely top tier. But there&#39;s also Momo&nbsp;Yaoyorozu, who can create any object out of her fat cells - how&#39;s that for versatile? Izuku Midoriya, who began the series without a quirk, is trying to master one of the most powerful quirks in the known universe, and he&#39;s doing a pretty good job.

Vote up the 1-A students who you think are the strongest, and vote down the ones you think have a long way to go.

Anime

Street Fighter and My Hero Academia might seem like an unlikely combination, but Markell Waters, also known as&nbsp;Kellzallday30, has created a mashup that will make it seem like the two were always intended to be combined. These 20&nbsp;amazing pieces of&nbsp;My Hero Academia Street Fighter art depict some of the most popular characters from&nbsp;MHA&nbsp;dressed as characters from the popular 90&#39;s fighting game. Not only are the outfits awesome, but the dynamic action poses also really add energy to the art.

My Hero Academia&nbsp;is a massively popular&nbsp;superhero anime known for its incredible diversity of characters and powers, or quirks. These abilities range from useful but unimpressive skills, like being able to manipulate and attract small objects, to mind-blowing talents, such as the capability&nbsp;to rewind a target&#39;s&nbsp;biological clock.

As is the case with&nbsp;most anime, some of the&nbsp;abilities&nbsp;on display in the show are vastly stronger than others. Power is not the be all and end all when it comes to how useful a hero or villain is, but it certainly separates the exceptional ones from the pack.&nbsp;There&#39;s Shoto Todoroki&#39;s Half-Cold Half-Hot, which allows him to simultaneously&nbsp;control fire and ice, and Best Jeanist&#39;s&nbsp;Fiber Master, which gives him total dominance over anyone wearing clothes. Then, of course, there&#39;s One For All, a quirk used by Izuku and All Might that bestows a burst of unimaginable&nbsp;strength.&nbsp;

There are countless&nbsp;incredible quirks in <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/my-hero-academia-zodiac-signs/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">My Hero Academia</a>&nbsp;and, in a show that prides itself on continuously introducing&nbsp;dominant characters, it can be tough to draw the line and single out the best of the best. However, it&#39;s clear to the audience who stands tallest among the&nbsp;heroes and&nbsp;villains.&nbsp;

Fictional Characters

My Hero Academia&nbsp;features some seriously strong ladies. While most of the female characters in&nbsp;MHA&nbsp;have something to bring to the table, some stand out as absolutely top tier. We&#39;ve assembled some of the&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strong-female-characters/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">strongest female characters</a> in My Hero Academia,&nbsp;but it&#39;s up to you to vote up the ones who can really throw down.&nbsp;

Among the strongest is Nana Shimura, All Might&#39;s teacher and the former holder of One For All. There&#39;s also the villainous Himiko Toga, whose knife-fighting skills combine with her Transform quirk to make her wildly dangerous. From Class 1-A, there&#39;s Momo Yaoyorozu, who can create everything from Matryoshkas to cannons out of her body fat.&nbsp;There are so many amazing women to choose from!&nbsp;

Naruto

Some are short stories, others are novel length. In this curated list, you&#39;ll find some of the best that the fandom has to offer.

Which of these stories stand as&nbsp;the best&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;fanfiction? That&#39;s for you to decide. Vote up your favorites to help your fellow readers decide what they should read next.

My Hero Academia&nbsp;isn&#39;t over yet, but that doesn&#39;t stop fans from filling in the blanks and answering unanswered questions with their personal headcanons. Whether long or short, rooted in canon or totally far-fetched, these My Hero Academia headcanons show the fandom enjoying itself to the fullest.

Some theories are about the characters themselves, like the theory that Mina Ashido likes to play matchmaker with her classmates, or the idea that Izuku&#39;s dad might actually be a Nomu. Then there are theories about quirks, like the one that states that that Invisibility can see a different spectrum of light than the rest of the world, and can therefore see each other and themselves.

Vote up the headcanons that you wish were true, or think could be.&nbsp;

Fan Art

My Hero Academia&nbsp;may be an anime about young heroes in training, but that doesn&#39;t mean that fans aren&#39;t curious to see what the protagonists would look like if&nbsp;they joined the dark side. What would everyone&#39;s <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-pro-heroes-my-hero-academia/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">favorite MHA heroes</a> look like as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-evil-anime-villains/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">sinister villains</a>?&nbsp;

Here are some of the fandom&#39;s best My Hero Academia&nbsp;nicknames. Vote up your favorite ones!

My Hero Academia&nbsp;grew to&nbsp;massive popularity within the anime community and beyond&nbsp;since first airing&nbsp;in 2016 -&nbsp;and, of course, with every long-standing or popular anime, you know one thing always follows: shipping!

The best&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;ships may not be the focal point of the plot, but&nbsp;they do provide a point of interest for fans of the show.&nbsp;A variety of characters exist in the My Hero series, all with different powers and personalities that give shippers great material to work with.

People adore thinking about cute pairings for Izuku, but other popular characters&nbsp;such as Tsuyu&nbsp;made their way into the hearts of the fanbase. Coming from a newer show,&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;ships are less-renowned&nbsp;than other <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-couples/ranker-anime" target="_blank">popular anime couples</a>, but rest assured if the show maintains its hot streak, the ships will continue to sail.

Villains

For a show about heroes,&nbsp;My Hero Academia boasts a large cast of fascinating&nbsp;villains. Each one operates on a different motive, ranging from villains like Stain who commit nefarious acts&nbsp;for what they see as the&nbsp;greater good, to villains like&nbsp;Moonfish who simply want to satisfy their gruesome desires.Some of these villains possess&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-quirks-my-hero-academia/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">incredible quirks</a>&nbsp;that make them formidable opponents. So&nbsp;who are the best My Hero Academia villains and how do they stack up against <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-my-hero-academia-characters/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">the best&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;characters</a>?Not all of the great villains in&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;have made their way into the anime yet. Chisaki Kai emerged as arguably one of the greatest villains&nbsp;in the entire series, but for now, he remains&nbsp;manga-only.While this list only&nbsp;celebrates villains who've appeared in the anime, Chisaki&nbsp;may one day be able to join their ranks. And when he does,&nbsp;he's gonna be up against some competition.

While we all know Izuku Midoriya as male&nbsp;and Ochako Uraraka as female, it can be fun to imagine what they&#39;d be like as another sex or gender. Whether you just want to imagine the possibilities of seeing your favorite character in a new light or appreciate them as the gender you&#39;re attracted to,&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;genderbend art is a lot of fun.

Artists from all over the Internet have applied their talents to this concept, taking on everyone from popular characters like Shoto Todoroki&nbsp;and Katsuki Bakugo to more obscure characters like&nbsp;Mashirao Ojiro&nbsp;and Kyoka Jirou. There&#39;s even a genderswapped Mineta!

Take a look at some awesome art, and vote up your favorites to show the artists&#39; some well-deserved appreciation.

In the world of&nbsp;My Hero Academia,&nbsp;80% of the population is born with a quirk, or superpower. These can include basically anything: shooting fireballs, using every power a frog has at their disposal, talking to animals, and more. If you&#39;re an MHA&nbsp;fan, you probably knew all that - but there may still be things you didn&#39;t know about MHA quirks.

For this list, we&#39;ve collected some fun facts and trivia about the superpowers that define the series. Just like how Japanese amusement parks asked parkgoers to do in 2020 for safety reasons, you have to &quot;scream inside your heart&#39; to activate One For All. Also, creator Kohei Horikoshi has an unexpected favorite of all of the quirks he&#39;s created: tape!

Vote up the quirk trivia that you found the most interesting.&nbsp;

My Hero Academia&nbsp;is a wildly popular show that absolutely deserves its accolades. But just because it&#39;s good doesn&#39;t mean there aren&#39;t a few plot holes that are hard to overlook. It&#39;s a pretty tight series, so there aren&#39;t many, and some may seem a little nitpicky, but let&#39;s get to it.

What are some of the more pressing My Hero Academia plot holes? From the main series, there&#39;s the fact that it&#39;d be pretty much impossible for Aizawa to have expelled as many kids as he claims. The recent movie,&nbsp;Two Heroes,&nbsp;has its own share of plot holes - did anybody really buy the ending?&nbsp;

Because&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;is still ongoing, it&#39;s possible that some of these plot holes will be filled in. But just like in any long series, chances are high that some of them will be left as-is.&nbsp;

Class 1-A isn&#39;t the only U.A. class full of promising would-be heroes. While Class 1-B doesn&#39;t get nearly as much attention, many of its members are just as strong, if not stronger, than their counterparts in the spotlight.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Who are the strongest Class 1-B students? With so much raw talent, it&#39;s hard to pick just one. There&#39;s Neito Monoma, whose rude attitude doesn&#39;t detract from his incredible Copy quirk, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, whose Steel quirk easily rivals Eijiro Kirishima&#39;s Hardening, Itsuka Kendo&#39;s super strong Big Fist quirk, and plenty more.&nbsp;

There are also quite a few members who haven&#39;t fully shown off their skills in the anime - so if you&#39;re not caught up with the manga, just bear in mind that this list may contain some spoilers.&nbsp;

Vote up the 1-B students who you think are hero material, and vote down the ones you think need a lot more work.&nbsp;

The UA&nbsp;Sports Festival isn&#39;t your typical anime sports festival - it&#39;s a full-on tournament in which would-be heroes display their skills in the hopes of courting pro heroes who will hire them for internships.&nbsp;

Some of these fights are among the best moments in all of&nbsp;My Hero Academia,&nbsp;but others don&#39;t really stand out. This list features all of them, from epic battles like the emotional fight between Shoto Todoroki and Izuku Midoriya, to fights that are funny but forgettable, like the one where Yuga&nbsp;Aoyama gets pantsed by Mina Ashido&#39;s acid attack.&nbsp;

Vote up the best fights in the UA Sports Festival, and vote down the ones that don&#39;t measure up.&nbsp;

What words come to mind when you think about Katsuki Bakugo from&nbsp;My Hero Academia?&nbsp;Anger? Explosions? Screaming? An inferiority complex? While Bakugo brings&nbsp;particularly aggressive energy to his series, that can&#39;t be all there is to him... right?

Artists all over the Internet have been showing Bakugo in a more positive light. In some images, he&#39;s showing affection for a partner, surrounded by flowers, or appearing as a child or a cat, there are plenty of different ways for him to show off his cute side. It&#39;s nice to see him getting to relax and be soft when he never gets to do so in canon.&nbsp;

Which piece of adorable&nbsp;Bakugo fan art is your favorite? You don&#39;t have to choose just one. Vote&nbsp;up the illustrations you love&nbsp;to show the artist some well-deserved love!

Unless you happen to be a real pop culture guru, you might not notice that the creators of&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;littered the series with references to a plethora&nbsp;of&nbsp;Japanese and American franchises. If you&#39;re an&nbsp;MHA&nbsp;fan who also loves Star Wars, prepare to get a kick&nbsp;out of the series&#39;s locale names and the visage of the main baddie.

Marvel fans might take note of the plentiful&nbsp;Marvel references in My Hero Academia,&nbsp;including a scene from Iron Man 2. The series even nods to anime like&nbsp;Fullmetal Alchemist,&nbsp;Naruto,&nbsp;&nbsp;and Dragon Ball Z. Plenty of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-references-in-popular-cartoons/hannah-collins" target="_blank">Western cartoons reference anime</a> in clever ways, so it stands to reason many <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-different-from-the-manga/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">anime and manga</a>&nbsp;series will return the favor.

These My Hero Academia&nbsp;Easter eggs feel all the more awesome when you learn&nbsp;Kohei&nbsp;Horikoshi, the manga creator behind the series, has a deep love for Western superheroes, anime, and other pop culture that influenced his work. He throws&nbsp;this stuff in for more than just the hell of it - he includes it because it&#39;s his passion.&nbsp;

These cultural references in&nbsp;My Hero Academia only make the viewing&nbsp;and, in the manga&#39;s case, reading experience a lot more fun.

In My Hero Academia, heroes are defined by their actions, not the brute strength associated with their powers (or quirks, as the show calls them). While the main characters typically exhibit the more <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-quirks-my-hero-academia/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">incredible abilities</a>, underrated skills&nbsp;tend to get lost in the shuffle. Many of these quirks are more useful than visually impressive.&nbsp;

Edgeshot&#39;s&nbsp;Foldabody&nbsp;allows him to make his body so sharp that it can cut like a sword, or so thin that he can slip through cracks, all at the speed of sound. While it&#39;s easy to see why this quirk is incredible,&nbsp;Edgeshot himself is pretty&nbsp;forgettable. Other underrated quirks have uses that may not seem immediately obvious &ndash; Shoji Mezo&#39;s&nbsp;Dupli-Arms can do a whole lot more than hold four coffee mugs at once.

Pokemon

Have you ever wondered what the kids from&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;would look like as Pokemon trainers?&nbsp;Zea Webb, known as <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/zeaw90" target="_blank">Zeaw90</a> on DeviantArt, has answered that question with their amazing&nbsp;My Hero Academia Pokemon art. In each image, they depict one of the kids from 1-A as they might appear in the Pokemon universe, surrounded by their team. Each trainer has Pokemon that are suited to their quirks and personalities. For example, Katsuki Bakugo&#39;s Pokemon are appropriately fire and explosion themed, while Kyouka Jirou&#39;s Pokemon are all sound themed. Meanwhile, Denki Kaminari is surrounded by Pikachu.

If you love this fantastic artwork, check out the rest of Zea&#39;s <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/zeaw90/about#about" target="_blank">work</a>, and make sure to show them the love they deserve.
