This list contains spoilers up to the end of season 7 of My Hero Academia
Summary
- Uwabami helps when needed, despite flashiness.
- Cementos teaches crucial lessons, but is overlooked.
- Present Mic contributes significantly to the story.
When thinking about the Pro Heroes who make an appearance throughout the story of My Hero Academia, most fans' minds will immediately go to the likes of Endeavor, Aizawa, or, of course, the legendary All Might. This can make it easy for a lot of the other professionals to go under the radar, even though they may play a vital role in protecting the students and taking on any dangerous villains who threaten UA.
My Hero Academia: 18 Strongest End Of Series Characters
My Hero Academia has some incredibly overpowered characters and these are the ones who stand out on top.
In other words, these characters can often be rather underappreciated, as they don't tend to be the focus of many discussions or debates, despite still being in very prestigious positions. This list is going to try and give some credit to these My Hero Academia Pro Heroes by analyzing what exactly they've contributed to the story, and also what has caused them to be so overshadowed in the wider plot.
8 Uwabami
Despite Making A Rough First Impression, Uwabami Helps Out When It Truly Matters
- First Appearance: Episode 27
Despite managing to reach the position of Pro Hero, Uwabami doesn't initially seem all that bothered or concerned about fulfilling her duties. Instead, she's more occupied with shooting flashy advertisements and promoting her newest products, which ultimately means that she wouldn't be seen taking to the front lines as much as many of her colleagues. While she can therefore be pretty easy to ridicule, she still deserves at least some amount of appreciation for her work in helping civilians later in the story.
By using her Serpentress Quirk, Uwabami is able to sense the location of those in danger from miles away, as she demonstrates during the hospital raid, where she can be seen rescuing multiple innocent bystanders. It's clear Uwabami has done a lot of work behind the scenes to help keep Japan safe from the villains, despite this not seeming to be the case when she first shows up.
7 Cementoss
Cementoss May Seem A Little Basic, But He Teaches The Students Some Truly Important Lessons
- First Appearance: Episode 13
On the surface, the ability to control and manipulate cement just doesn't seem anywhere near as interesting or flashy as the Quirks possessed by many of the other Pro Heroes. When paired with his rather flat design, this can cause Cementoss to be largely forgotten about and underappreciated, considering he does still make a pretty big impact as a teacher.
Best Female Characters In My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia is packed with iconic female characters, and that includes both heroes and villains. Here are the best MHA girls.
This can be seen when he was tasked with going up against Kirishima and Sato during the final exam, where he humiliates the students and forces them to think about the true potential of their Quirks, and how they shouldn't be wasting their abilities in the middle of a battle. Cementoss also proves to be a big asset during the final war in executing the heroes' plan of attack, so he's definitely not someone who deserves to be swept under the rug.
6 Present Mic
The Goofy Loud-Mouthed Hero Makes Some Pretty Big Contributions To The Story
- First Appearance: Episode 5
Because Present Mic is largely presented as a hero who is very prone to goofing off in even the most serious of circumstances, it can be very easy to simply brush him off as a weird oddball. While he's definitely a lot more upbeat and outlandish than most of the other professionals, it does feel as though Mic hasn't been given the flowers he most certainly deserves for his contributions to the story.
A few examples of this include when Mic teamed up with Aizawa to interrogate the shady villain known as Kurogiri, with Mic helping to support his friend during the intense process. It's also important to remember that Mic was the one who shattered the capsule that Shigaraki was locked inside of while being experimented on by Garaki, and though this didn't stop the villain once and for all, it did at least prevent him from reaching his maximum potential before being unleashed.
5 Death Arms
Death Arms' Retirement Has Left A Bad Stain On His Reputation
- First Appearance: Episode 1
Though Death Arms appears pretty early on in the series to accompany Mount Lady, he disappears for a good bulk of the story after that, only showing up in flashes every now and again. After witnessing the destruction caused by Shigaraki in Jaku City, resulting in numerous heroes losing their lives, Death Arms decided it was time to hang up his powerfists for good, officially retiring and turning his back on UA in the process.
My Hero Academia: 8 Best Pro-Hero Characters, Ranked
My Hero Academia features a ton of intriguing and memorable Pro-Heroes, with these being among the best of the bunch.
As a result of this, it can be easy to see him as a weak and rather forgettable member of UA, but what many people forget is that the Death Arms did eventually make a grand return. Not someone to sit around while the other heroes take all the glory, Death Arms courageously joins in with the Final War, where he uses his superior strength to rescue civilians who are trapped under rubble in debris. Therefore, he's a pretty underappreciated professional who made the brave decision to partake in a conflict that he knew would be highly dangerous.
4 Power Loader
The Mysterious Pro Hero Has Been A Great Help To Deku And The Other Students
- First Appearance: Episode 13
As someone who would rather remain in the shadows rather than take up the spotlight, Power Loader gets barely any screen time over the course of the series, though he has still contributed a lot to the heroes' efforts. For example, Power Loader would be there to help the students test out their skills during not only the U.S.J Arc, but also the first and final exam, where he uses his experimental mech to dish out damage.
Most of the time, though, Power Loader can be found in the engineering room, creating new support gear and uniforms for Deku and the others. While his partner, Mai, might get most of the credit when it comes to crafting the hero's gear, Power Loader also deserves to be acknowledged for his involvement, even though he may not be all that fond of receiving compliments.
3 Nezu
Nezu Is deceivingly strong Thanks To His Superior Intellect
- First Appearance: Episode 5
Because Nezu is the president of UA, this often overshadows the fact that he is also technically a Pro Hero. Sure, he may not be as gung-ho as Endeavor or All Might, but despite his size, Nezu is still capable of dealing some serious damage, as he made crystal clear when he caused Kaminari and Mina to fail their exam by using a wrecking ball to destroy the arena around them.
He also often goes underappreciated for the amount of time and effort he puts into protecting the students. After the disastrous U.S.J. Incident, for example, Nezu would show his face on a live broadcast where he publicly apologised to the entire country so that his students wouldn't receive any blame or criticism. He has also been instrumental in getting the Pro Heroes together to organize an effective attack strategy, such as with the hospital raid or the final war.
2 Thirteen
Despite Being Humiliated Early In The Series, Thirteen Still Put Their Life On The Line To Save Her Students
- First Appearance: Episode 10
Thirteen has become somewhat of a punching bag of a character, primarily due to the humiliating defeat she faced very early on in the story at the hands of Kurogiri. Many viewers took this as a sign that Thirteen was simply a weak Pro Hero, but it's still important to acknowledge that she was willing to put her own life on the line if it meant saving the students she was tasked to protect.
An example of this is how Thirteen commanded Ida to run back to UA as quickly as possible so that he could alert All Might and the others that the villains had finally arrived. Thirteen would also be there to accompany Deku after he went rogue, and also played her part in fending off the army of villains in the final war. Mistakes can happen, and while Thirteen struggles to recover from that defeat back at U.S.J., it shouldn't be enough to tarnish her entire reputation.
1 Edgeshot
Edgeshot Has Drastically Changed The Course Of The Series Multiple Times
- First Appearance: Episode 46
Edgeshot isn't often considered to be one of the more prominent Pro Heroes, since he doesn't receive anywhere near as much screen time as All Might, Endeavor, or Hawks. Despite that, though, this Pro Hero has changed the story in some pretty drastic ways, with one prime example being how he managed to take down Re-Destro to stop his rampage in Jaku City.
By far the most important example of this is how Edgeshot was able to use his Quirk to enter Bakugo's body after the hero had been killed. By stitching his organs back together, Edgeshot revived Bakugo so that he could continue fighting in the war, and it's not a stretch to say that if Edgeshot wasn't there, the fan favorite Bakugo would be long gone. Edgeshot doesn't tend to receive the same level of appreciation as some of the higher-ranking Pro Heroes, though he's definitely deserving of it, considering everything he's accomplished.
