My Hero Academia: 10 Strangest Quirks, Ranked

There are many different Quirks seen throughout My Hero Academia, but some stand out for being outright bizarre.

The world of My Hero Academia is fascinating since it’s mostly inhabited by super-powered human beings. But some of these powers – also known as Quirks – can end up being quite odd. Whether they’re classified as Emitter Class, Mutant Class or Transformation Class. Kohei Horikoshi has a knack for creating strangely unique characters and abilities.

The original Quirks of One For All users are incredibly powerful.

There are a lot of weird quirks in My Hero Academia and, in a world as bizarre as this one; it takes something truly special in order to stand out. However, audiences got to meet a fair number of characters that used strange, yet sometimes useful, quirks. And these are some of the memorable examples.

10
Slide and Glide

Koichi Haimawari

Koichi Haimawari using Slide and Glide in order to move faster.

An interesting aspect about quirks is how they can be trained and improved, in order to eventually turn them into something completely different. And this was the case for Koichi, the protagonist of the spin-off, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. When it was first introduced, Slide and Glide seemed like a useless power that let Koichi slide through surfaces at moderate speed.

However, Koichi’s great ambitions led him on a path of heroism and, after several intense situations and epic battles, he learned to make his quirk better and much more useful. By the end of his story, he realized Slide and Glide actually lets him project a strong repulsive force from his hands and feet, to the point that he was even able to fly with it.

Rifle

Lady Nagant

Lady Nagant using her Rifle Quirk.

Kaina Tsutsumi – better known as Lady Nagant – wields the impressive Rifle quirk, which lets her turn her arm into a powerful weapon that she can use to snipe opponents from far away. Overall, this is a really effective quirk that may not seem particularly strange at first.

But Rifle also modifies Lady Nagant’s hair: She can take chunks of it and mold it as if it was Epoxy putty in order to create different types of bullets. This makes the quirk even more useful, but it also makes it even weirder, since it’s pretty much like having two quirks in one.

Mimicry

Joi Irinaka

Joi Irinaka using Mimicry in order to threaten Shigaraki.

Almost every single member of the infamous Shie Hassaikai group had really odd quirks that they could use for their criminal affairs. But, out of all of them, Joi Irinaka’s quirk was definitely the strangest one. Based off of a real life phenomenon, Mimicry lets Irinaka transfer his mind into inanimate objects – even to those that are smaller than him – and manipulate them as if they were part of his own body.

These fights in My Hero Academia were mismatched due to the ability match-ups and scope of their contender’s powers.,

That’s exactly why this intimidating mafia criminal is often seen as a small and somehow adorable creature, since Irinaka is actually controlling a doll in order to disguise himself. And when he used Trigger, Mimicry got even stronger, letting him hide inside the walls and control an entire building.

7
Papyrus

Salaam

The egyptian hero Salaam motivates Kaminari, Sero and Mineta.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there are several powerful Pro Heroes all over the world, not just in Japan. And one of the most memorable ones is Salaam, the top Egyptian hero, who can flatten his own body like a piece of ancient paper thanks to his quirk, Papyrus.

This is definitely a bizarre power, but it can have its fair share of practical uses, especially for a respected Pro Hero like Salaam, who has to go through many different missions daily. The best part is that Papyrus is a perfect representation of the culture of Egypt that inspired Salaam’s appearance in the first place.

6
Binging Ball

Tamashiro

Tamashiro summons his Binging Balls.

One of the most intriguing plot elements introduced in My Hero Academia is the Quirk Singularity, which states that quirks have gotten stronger with each passing generation, since they blend and evolve together. This is best seen with the class of young aspiring heroes from Masegaki Primary School, who all wield really strange yet powerful quirks.

Tamashiro was definitely the one who stood out the most in his entire class. His quirk is Binging Ball, and it lets him generate and control a bunch of floating spheres. These balls have mouths and are even strong enough to bite through ice, so it’s a relatively powerful ability, especially for such a young child.

Comic

Manga Fukidashi

Manga Fukidashi summons an onomatopeia.

Having a character with powers that are based on comics & manga who is actually named Manga himself is actually quite clever, and his creative quirk only enhances his very original concept. With Comic, Fukidashi can materialize onomatopoeia and use them in many practical ways, like crashing through an area with a “BOOM!” or rebounding a projectile with a “BOING!”.

Comic is a really fun quirk, and it’s reminiscent of powers that were featured in other anime, like Koichi Hirose’s Echoes, from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. But what makes Manga Fukidashi different is the fact that his quirk also affects his physical appearance, since he has a manga panel for a head. This is just brilliant character design.

Whiteline

Ending

Ending controlling road lines with his quirk.

There are a lot of real world elements that are often ignored by most people, yet Kohei Horikoshi had the idea of somehow turning some of them into superpowers. Just like when he answered the question: “What if someone could manipulate the lane lines that are painted on roads?” This was the case with the minor villain Ending and his quirk, Whiteline.

My Hero Academia: Best Finishing Moves, Ranked

The finishing moves in My Hero Academia are impressive to behold. The following examples are some of the best.

My Hero Academia presents a contemporary urban setting, which is the perfect place for a power like this one. There are a lot of roads where Ending can use his quirk, transforming lane lines into sharp and deadly tentacles that can restrain and hurt his targets. And to make things even worse, he used Trigger to enhance his crazy quirk, turning it into something even more dangerous.

Toho

Godzillo

Deku and Melissa greet the Pro Hero, Godzillo.

There are a lot of Mutant Class quirks in My Hero Academia, and they often permanently transform the bodies of many characters into a variety of animals, like frogs, orcas, dogs or lions. While animal-based superpowers are not really that strange, there’s one of them that caught most fans off guard.

Godzillo is a Pro Hero who looks entirely like Godzilla. That’s right; this is a quirk that transformed its user into the famous kaiju: This is not a parody or a character that happens to look similar to the iconic monster; this is 100% Godzilla, to the point that the quirk is even named after the company that created the character, Toho. It can only be speculated that Godzillo can also fire a radioactive beam, just like the King of the Monsters.

Meatball

Seiji Shishikura

Seiji Shishikura sends his limbs off to use his quirk.

Seiji Shishikura’s quirk stands out immediately because of its name. After all, what does a power named Meatball could possibly do? But the truth is much darker than what someone would initially expect from a quirk with such a silly name.

There are a lot of quirks in My Hero Academia that can be mistaken for evil powers, and this is one of them. With Meatball, Seiji can manipulate his own flesh and separate his limbs at will. If he touches an opponent with them, he can mold anybody into an amorphous blob of living human tissue. It’s a unique and somewhat disturbing ability, so it’s a good thing Seiji is training to become a Hero.

New Order

Star and Stripe

Star and Stripe using New Order against Shigaraki.

Most of the quirks in My Hero Academia were considered to be relatively easy to understand and not quite abstract. But everything changed when the #1 Pro Hero of the United States was introduced: Cathleen Bate, better known as Star and Stripe, and her amazing quirk, New Order.

Unlike other quirks, which are quite simple in nature, New Order has its own set of rules and conditions. If Cathleen touches a person or an object and calls out their name, she can set a specific rule on them that can give them new properties or manipulate them in different ways. New Order even works on herself, so she can boost her own abilities.

The only catch, however, is that Cathleen can only set two rules at the same time. But, even with this drawback, New Order ended up being an extremely overpowered ability that redefined what a quirk can truly be. With its complex rules, it feels like something straight out Jujutsu Kaisen or Hunter x Hunter.
