Which Class 1-B Student Has the Strongest Quirk in My Hero Academia?

In the My Hero Academia universe, the

Sekijiro Kan and Vlad King

have distinct quirks that complement their combat styles. Sekijiro Kan's

Bloodcurdle

quirk allows him to paralyze opponents by ingesting their blood, a move that can be devastating if he can get close enough. Similarly, Kuroiro Shihai's

Black

quirk enables him to merge with shadows, giving him significant stealth and combat capabilities.

While these quirks are impressive, if we consider the strongest in terms of impact and versatility, we find that

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu’s quirk, Steel, and Neito Monoma’s Copy Quirk

are the most prominent.

Steel, Tetsutetsu’s quirk, has shown to be formidable more than once. Tetsutetsu is placed eighth in the U.A. Entrance Exam with a high number of villain points, thanks to his unyielding physique and his ability to counterattack thanks to his quirk. His unwavering spirit led him to survive the intense flames of

Shoto Todoroki

and even to go on the offensive as training battles became more realistic. Tetsutetsu's mental toughness is a crucial factor that sets him apart.

Neito Monoma’s Copy Quirk stands out due to its unique and versatile nature. Physical contact is required to copy an Emitter-type Quirk—simply tap the shoulder to gain the ability. Monoma's Copy Quirk allows him to hold up to four abilities at once, and he can switch between these powers, provided he maintains the contact. Furthermore, once he copies a power, he has a

minimum of five minutes

to use it before it vanishes, offering considerable flexibility in battle.

While

Tetsutetsu

technically has a powerful quirk, it pales in comparison to Monoma's Copy Quirk. This quirk's potential is immense, as it can not only empower him with diverse abilities but can also adapt to various situations, giving him a distinct advantage.

Beyond the technical aspects, Monoma's personal journey is marked by feelings of inadequacy. Because of his unique Copy Quirk, he often feels like a supporting actor. This

inferiority complex

spurs him to prove his worth, leading him into unconventional and risky practices to gain an edge, such as laying the blame for All Might's retirement on

Katsuki Bakugo

. However, Monoma has now become a key player in the series, especially during the

Joint Training arc

where his

warp quirk

was crucial in setting up a trap for a powerful villain. Moreover, his recent partnership with

Shota Aizawa

validates his importance, as Aizawa's powerful quirk

Phantom Thief

is now available to Monoma, allowing them to work together strategically.

Through it all, Monoma has proven that his unique abilities and the versatility of his Copy Quirk make him a formidable force in the world of Class 1-B. His journey continues to demonstrate the complex interplay between personal growth and powerful quirks in the

My Hero Academia

universe.
