Their strength and skill have improved drastically, and the author made it quite clear that right now, they're dominating the era. Still, fans have always loved to know which hero stands where and how strong they are compared to each other. Now, the author has finally confirmed that too.

Bakugo Is The Strongest Class 1A Pro Hero

  • Bakugo’s Strength Is Potentially Beyond Mirio's
  • Bakugo Has A Bad Attitude

When it comes to the strongest Hero from Class 1-A, the fans already have their answer. The author made it quite clear that Bakugo is the one who stands at the very top right now. He is extremely powerful, thanks to his Quirk evolution over the years, and this is why he debuted at #4 in the Hero Billboard Chart. His bad attitude saw to it that he fell down to #15, but now, he's climbed his way up to #5 once again, which shows great improvement. As far as strength goes, however, Bakugo is incredibly powerful. Here's what the final My Hero Academia fanbook says about him:

A boy who aspires to be the number one hero. He has a rough and aggressive personality but a genius talent for fighting. He feels a strong rivalry with his childhood friend Izuku due to his rapid growth, but gradually begins to acknowledge his abilities. After his graduation, he becomes a sidekick under Jeanist, and then goes independent. His abilities are said to be equal to or even greater than those of Lemillion, but he can't get rid of his rough behavior and is struggling to rise in the rankings. When he teams up with others, his reputation mysteriously rises. He is often loved by the senior Heroes. — MHA Ultra Age Fanbook

Deku And Shoto Are Right Next To Him

Shoto Is The Current Number 2 Hero

While Bakugo might just be the strongest, Deku and Bakugo aren't far behind him. Deku's case is a bit more difficult to figure out, since he doesn't have the One For All anymore. What fans know is that he has the armor that was given to him by All Might, and it is said to be very strong. It is also said that this armor copies all One For All powers and even lets him combine them. If it is exactly as strong as the One For All, then Deku could be potentially stronger than Bakugo, which is surprising to many.

Farewell, One For All! — Izuku Midoriya

Meanwhile, Shoto is the Number 2 Hero, and he will definitely try to go head-to-head with Mirio, competing for the Number 1 spot soon.
