This article contains spoilers from My Hero Academia.

My Hero Academia has officially concluded as far as the manga is concerned and fans know very well that the anime is currently airing the very last stretch of episodes. While the journey of Izuku Midoriya and all his friends has come to an end, fans also know very well that they end up as powerful Pro Heroes at the end of the series, which means that even if fans don't get to see it, their journey as Heroes continues.

While most Pro Heroes got the ending they deserved, Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist of the series, is one character whose story didn't quite end up as fans wanted it to. For instance, Izuku Midoriya lost the power of the One For All Quirk, which was something that most fans didn't want to see in the story. Still, Horikoshi ended up giving him an official replacement for the Quirk in the form of a Hero armor. My Hero Academia Fans have always wondered what his overall power level as an adult Pro Hero is, and with a series of one-shots, Kohei Horikoshi has officially revealed the answer to the question. It seems that Izuku Midoriya is still among the five strongest Pro Heroes in Japan at the moment.

For about 6 years, Izuku Midoriya didn't get to be a Pro Hero like most of his friends. However, things were different once he received the Hero Armor, gifted to him by none other than his friends. Once Izuku Midoriya became a Pro Hero again, he became powerful again.

In fact, Horikoshi has already revealed his overall level of strength as a Pro Hero. According to Horikoshi, Izuku Midoriya’s armor is far stronger than the one that All Might wore in the battle against All For One. In other words, he's unstoppable with this armor.

It must also be remembered that Horikoshi himself confirmed that his overall powers haven't changed much. Basically, his Hero Armor exists to copy the powers of the One For All Quirk, which means that he still holds the explosive strength and speed at the center of his fighting style. That certainly isn't all. Kohei Horikoshi has also officially confirmed that Izuku Midoriya's armor allows him to use the powers of the various vestiges that he had, and on top of that, he can also combine various vestiges' powers together, just as he did with the One For All.

Based on everything that fans have seen from Izuku Midoriya so far as an adult Pro Hero, it can be said that he's easily one of the five strongest Pro Heroes in My Hero Academia. Izuku Midoriya currently holds the rank of the Number 4 Hero in the story, but he might actually be among the strongest. If his Armor replicates One For All completely, then it wouldn't be wrong to say that Izuku Midoriya is actually the strongest Hero alive right now, despite being Quirkless.

The My Hero Academia manga concluded with 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters can be found on Manga Plus. When it comes to the anime, this series is still awaiting its final season, which will be released later this year. The series can be watched on Crunchyroll.

In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the "One-For-All" quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.
