There wouldn't be any need for My Hero Academia's heroes if there weren't any villains around to take on. The series has featured tons of different villains, with some playing larger roles than others. From small-time crooks to world-threatening supervillains, My Hero Academia has it all.
Just as heroes have an arsenal of techniques, villains also put their quirks to use in the fight against heroes. While we've seen more from heroes and students when it comes to ultimate moves, that doesn't mean My Hero Academia's villains are pulling their punches. These stand out as the strongest villain ultimate moves we've seen.
My Hero Academia: 7 Strongest Pro Hero Ultimate Moves
You can't be a great hero without having at least one strong Ultimate Move. Here's a look at the best of the best.
Starservant — Enlightened Fallen King
It might not be the most impressive quirk in the series, but Starservant's Control Glass Quirk can be pretty dangerous in the right situation. By controlling and manipulating all the glass in his immediate vicinity, Starservant can be a tricky foe to take down.
Starservant uses his ultimate move, Enlightened Fallen King, while trying to draw out Endeavor during the Endeavor Agency Arc. By taking glass from the buildings around him, he's able to create a massive orb at his enemies. It's a fairly destructive attack, but as Enedavor showed, it can be handled fairly easily by a strong enough hero.
Twice — Sad Man's Parade
Twice was definitely one of My Hero Academia's most tragic villains. His lively personality masked a horrifying backstory that made him an incredibly sympathetic character, despite his allegiances. Though he wasn't necessarily the physically strongest villain, his Double Quirk made him a tough match-up in certain situations.
Twice's Ultimate Move, Sad Man's Parade, is an overwhelming attack that most heroes might not be able to handle unprepared. Twice creates clones of himself who then create clones of themselves as well, with this resulting in thousands of different copies flooding the area. The great part about this move is that if you destroy one clone, another pops up to take its place. It can be incredibly overwhelming and great at suppressing multiple foes.
Re-Destro — Stress:100%
The former Grand Commander of the Meta Liberation Army and later one of the nine lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front, Re-Destro proved to be a terrifying villain thanks in big part to his Stress Quirk. The quirk allows its user to turn their stress, anger, and other negative emotions into energy that they use to buff their strength and even size.
As the name implies, Re-Destro's Stres:100% ultimate move lets him use 100% of his quirk by pushing himself to his absolute limit. By doing this, he gains a massive boost to his physical abilities while also increasing in size. This also improves his Stress Output Burden technique, allowing him to shoot large energy waves out of his hands.
Himiko Toga — Sad Man's Legion
She might be a villain, but Toga ended up being one of My Hero Academia's most popular characters. It's not hard to see why, with her backstory being as sad as it is, and fans seeing just how badly she was treated for her differences by those around her. Toga's Transform Quirk is both deadly and versatile, but we didn't see her make the most of it until the Final War Arc.
Mimicking Twice's strongest move, Toga's Sad Man's Legion is a devastating combination of both quirks. Toga creates an army of clones taking the form of various heroes and villains, including herself, Twice, Tsuyu, Uraraka, Jiro, and even Near High-End Nomu. Like the original, Toga's spin on it can easily overwhelm opponents, and with the versatility of having different types of clones to throw at her enemies, Toga's version stands as the stronger of the two.
Dark Might — Torino Smash
He might've only been a movie villain, but Dark Might certainly left his mark on fans. The leader of the Gollini crime family, Dark Might, whose real name is Valdo Gollini, is one of the most prolific villains featured in the series, alongside Shigaraki and All For One.
Not only does he look a lot like All Might when taking on his Dark Might persona, but Valdo also packs a pretty powerful punch. His strongest attack has to be his Torino Smash, which is a play on All Might and Deku's Detroit Smash. It's just a simple strike attack, but it was strong enough to counter Deku's Detroit Smash and send him flying.
Dabi — Prominence Burn
One look at Dabi's arsenal of ultimate moves shows that he's not the most creative villain, but he's still an incredibly deadly enemy on the battlefield. Dabi's entire move list is ripped off straight from his father Endeavor, with the exception of Shoto's Phosphor. Of course, Dabi doesn't do this out of admiration for his father; instead, he uses his most iconic techniques to combat him while also further staining his legacy and public image by bringing his past transgressions to light.
Like his father, Dabi's Prominence Burn is his strongest move. It's a devastating technique that can vaporize nearly any opponent with Dabi's intense heat, matching Endeavor's own power. In fact, he almost used the attack to take out his father. Had Best Jeanist not disrupted him, he could've very well destroyed Endeavor with his own move.
All For One — Omni-Factor Unleash
The big bad of the My Hero Academia world, All For One's ability to steal and transfer quirks made him the most dangerous villain in the series. While he spent a lot of the series masterminding things behind the scenes, that doesn't mean that All For One wasn't a dangerous opponent in combat. Having the myriad of quirks he'd accumulated over the years so readily available made him a near impossible villain to take down.
All For One's strongest ultimate move is his Omni-Factor Unleash technique, which has him combine every quirk he's stolen over the years and launch them all as one deadly attack. As a result, his body goes through a horrible mutation, giving him an unsettling look to go alongside monstrous strength and incredible speed.

WHERE TO WATCH
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.
