Quirk is the term for powers in the anime ‘Boku No Hero Academia’
Quirk
A Quirk is a special, superhuman ability an individual can
possess. Quirks are generally unique to their user, and are classified in
multiple categories.
The first Quirk.
The first person to manifest a Quirk was a newborn baby in
the city of Quig, China, who had the ability to emanate light from their body.
After that incident, many people around the world began to manifest different
kinds of special abilities, though the cause of the phenomenon was unknown.
Currently, 80% of the world population possesses a Quirk.
At the dawn of this extraordinary era, the Police Force
moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such,
decided not to use Quirks as weapons. To fill that void, the profession of
crime fighting Quirk users, heroes, began to exist. Authorizing the use of
powers that could so easily kill, however, was a greatly criticized decision at
first. Over time, it came to garner public support due to the fact that the
first people to work professionally as heroes acted morally and upheld the law.
Information
Quirks are inherited genetically and typically manifest in
children by the age of four, at the latest. Children will either manifest one
of their parent's Quirks or if the two are compatible, a new composite Quirk
formed by the fusion of the two. This composite Quirk may sometimes give the
appearance of the person having two separate Quirks, such as Shoto's Half-Cold
Half-Hot. As Quirks are said to be the next stage of evolution in the human
race, it is possible to diagnose a person as lacking a Quirk by analyzing the
presence or absence of an extra joint in their pinky toe. People with only one
joint will develop a Quirk while having two joints indicates that the person
will not develop a quirk.
It is possible for children to already be born with their
Quirks. Such was the case with Present Mic and the very first person to
manifest a Quirk, the Luminescent Baby. Although very rare, it is also possible
for animals to possess Quirks, such as Nezu. Under special circumstances, two
Quirks may mutate and merge, becoming a new Quirk, as was the case of One For
All. It also appears that the physical mutations of mutation type Quirks can be
inherited even if the Quirks themselves are not.
There are several laws and procedures to ensure the
conscientious use of Quirks. During elementary school, children receive Quirk
counseling, in order to learn how to use their powers responsibly.Public
display of Quirks are against the law, except in cases of self-defense, such as
when one is under attack or preventing someone else from being attacked.
Quirk Factor
The term "Quirk Factor" refers to the collective
traits that compose a Quirk. This includes the primary Quirk power as well as
all the biological mechanisms that allow said primary power to function
properly.
Certain Quirks such as Erasure are capable of halting the
activation process of the Quirk Factor, temporarily rendering the Quirk
unusable, but not affecting the Quirk Factor otherwise. There are other Quirks,
however, that are able to directly damage the Quirk Factor of a target,
preventing the Quirk from being activated until the user manages to naturally
recover. It's also implied that a Quirk Factor can be damaged beyond recovery,
causing the Quirk to be permanently inoperative.
Known Quirk Types
Emitter
Emitter type Quirks have the ability to either release
certain substances, or alter materials around them in certain ways.
Emitter-type Quirks usually require a conscious effort to activate and some even
require large amounts of concentration in order for them to remain active
Emitter-type Quirks can also have various ranges. While some
users require physical contact to use them others can have much longer ranges
with no distance restrictions While most Emitter-type Quirks users generally
have a handle on their own "emissions", it's also possible for users
to hurt themselves from coming into too much contact with their quirk. The
emissions of Emitter-type Quirks can have a wide variety of properties and
abilities.
While some substances produced by Emitter-type Quirks have
common properties, some are unique to the user, and thus have special
attributes to them. Those who alter the properties of materials around them can
also widely vary in effects, from molecular alteration to molecular destruction.
Emitter-type Quirks are, by a wide margin, the most common type of Quirk.

| Todoroki's quirk allows him to shoot flames and ice and is an emitter type of quirk. |
Transformation
Transformation type Quirks cause the user to take on a
temporary alteration of some kind. Transformation-type Quirks allow the user to
temporarily "transform" their body in a variety of manners, sometimes
enhancing existing features or perhaps adding new features to the body
altogether. Transformation-type Quirks generally affect the user exclusively
 |
| Ryukyu's quirk allows her to turn into a dragon and is considered as transformation type of quirk. |
Mutant
Mutant type Quirks can have a wide variety of features and
abilities depending on the individual, but the common similarity seems to be
that these Quirks are a part of the user's physicality. As a result, these
Quirks are passively active, but generally, allow the user the greatest degree
of control.

| Tsuyu"s quirk is a frog and it can do anything a frog can do and is considered as mutant type of quirk. |
10. Ochako Uraraka
Bouncy and bubbly, Ochako is so positive and lively that her
enthusiasm alone can push others into action. Despite her outgoing and often
silly outward persona, when she needs to be Ochako can be incredibly serious
and determined, as demonstrated in the Quirk Apprehension Test and attack on
USJ arcs. As someone who's kind of whacky, it's interesting to see her go up
against and work with some of the more solemn and mature members of 1-A, and
somehow manage to match their level.
Ochako does not come off as being naturally cool, although
her hero costume does look somewhat like a pink Megaman. She does get some
really awesome moments, though, when she's not floating away somewhere or
throwing up. She uses her powers incredibly well, like using a pillar as a
baseball bat and destroying robots by just dropping them from the sky. Although
not a natural bad-ass like some heroes Ochako is a pretty cool gal for someone
so silly.

9. Tsuyu Asui
Cute, wide-eyed Tsuyu is the quick-witted frog girl of the
class. While at first Tsuyu doesn't stand out quite as much as some characters,
it quickly becomes obvious that she's got a good head on her shoulders and is a
pretty capable fighter. On top of that with her skin tight hero suit and large
chest, she's already built up quite a significant fanbase.
Tsuyu's sociable attitude and common sense when it comes to
fighting make her a really cool person just to be around. As she doesn't have
the intense, colder personality that some other characters have, she's really
easy to get on with and generally just a very likeable person. The fact that
she comes off as normal and sensible considering here Quirk and the people
around her is one of the things that makes her stand out most.

8. Tenya Iida
Always playing by the rules, Tenya is the goody two-shoes
president of class 1-A. With his tendency to do things by the book, Tenya is
proficient at getting on the some of the more laid back students' nerves,
although he does prove to be incredibly useful in times of panic. His calm and
calculating demeanor make him the perfect leader type, he just needs a little
more self-confidence with the role.
Although starting off as the nerd of the class and very
rigid, Tenya loosens up as the series goes on and he gets used to the rest of
the class, realising how he also has a lot to learn. His logical thinking and
desire to lead, turn him into a figure of authority among the other students
and someone to look to when everything goes tits up. Apart from his
personality, his knight-like hero suit is very cool, and perfectly reflects his
personality, as well as his Engine Quirk turning him into some kind of kick-ass
mecha-knight.

7. Momo Yaoyorozu
Proving to be by far the most battle-ready of the girls,
Momo is incredibly versatile in the field due to her Creation Quirk allowing
her to create any non-living object. As long as she's had enough to eat anyway.
Momo's hero suit's main purpose is to reveal as much skin as possible, allowing
her to use her Quirk more easily, though it does feel like there may be an
ulterior motive to that.
Momo's fighting style is truly impressive to see given that
she generally uses basic hand held weapons against opponents with much stronger
physical Quirks than her. In fact due to her strategic thinking and
intelligence, she managed to rank first in the Quirk Apprehension Test. With
her strength as a hero, along with her warrior princess like attire, Momo is
the coolest girl in 1-A.

6. Fumikage Tokoyami
Sadly Fumikage hasn't had much screen time just yet, though
what we have seen has been pretty nice so far. Like the other more powerful
heroes, Fumikage remains calm under pressure and seems to possess a quick mind
and combat experience, allowing him to easily take enemies down from the
shadows. His appearance as a mutation-type Quirk user is also very interesting,
with his bird head making him the class member with the least human appearance.
With a serious and cooperative manner, as well as powerful
defensive and offensive capabilities with his Quirk Dark Shadow, Fumikage is an
amazing teammate to fight alongside. He's not just cool, but respectable a
person and as a hero. More importantly his dark, raven like visage with his
bird head and dark cloak looks sick, his Quirk completing the ensemble.
Seriously the dude summons a raven shadow from his body for crying out loud.

5. Katsuki Bakugou
Katsuki is the explosive rival and polar opposite to Boku no
Hero Academia's lead, Midoriya. Despite his bad attitude and overwhelming
arrogance, he desires to become a hero more than most, with his fervor
constantly pushing him to reach the top. His explosion Quirk perfectly matches
his explosive and chaotic personality, as well as packing a seriously powerful
punch for a hero-in-training.
With his unrelenting, almost berserk-like fighting style,
along with his ever destructive Quirk, watching Katsuki wreak havoc is always
awesome. Although he can come off as stupid or rather lacking in common sense
at times, Katsuki's will to keep pushing forward is seriously cool, with no foe
able to break his hardened resolve. Whether it's buckets full of self-confidence
or plain old insanity, Katsuki is a bad ass on the battlefield.

Wielding the opposing powers of fire and ice, Todoroki is
likely 1-A's most powerful member, though he hasn't received a whole lot of
screen time just yet. Todoroki is one of the most relaxed members of the class
during lessons, probably due to being so powerful that even the villains can't
touch him. Though maybe relaxed isn't quite right, rather he keeps to himself,
and tends to only speak when he feels it's necessary.
Todoroki's powerful, lone wolf aura coupled with his intense
appearance makes him instantly cool without him really having to do anything.
His power itself is awesome as well, or rather powers, with two in one ice and
fire that wrecks most of his classmates. What makes him really stand out
amongst his peers though is the authority he holds when he speaks, as if others
being weaker than him is to be expected.

3. Izuku Midoriya
Boku no Hero Academia's short and weak protagonist Midoriya
is most certainly the person who wants to become a hero most of all. With his
new Quirk having fairly limited uses at the moment, Midoriya is simultaneously
the weakest of the heroes and one of the strongest, a very odd position to be
in. The fact that his power is so all over the place, however, is what makes it
so interesting, which part of Midoriya's body will break today?
Okay so in many ways Midoriya is both very cool, and very
lame at the same time, as is the curse of shounen protagonists who must rise to
the top. Much like his teacher All Might, Midoriya's drive to be a hero and
help people is the coolest thing about him, pushing him to perform awesome
feats to save his friends and classmates. So despite his internal whining and
crying, Midoriya's courageous side always shows through when the time is right.

2. Shouta Aizawa
Both a dedicated teacher and overwhelmingly lazy, in
Aizawa's opinion, you either do something well, or you don't do it at all. When
not being be a sleeping bag caterpillar, Aizawa is one of the city's top
heroes, Eraserhead, with his ability to temporarily erase other people's Quirks
being both unique and powerful. Despite his uncouth appearance and harsh
attitude, as a hero, Aizawa still prioritises his students safety above all.
When he's not just being straight up tired, Aizawa looks
like a total badass, with his crazy long hair, cloth covering half his face,
and that sick visor. He's got the "looks like a bad guy but is actually a
good guy" vibe going on which is always cool. Aizawa's cold determination
to look after the kids is impressive as well, and although he doesn't give
pretty speeches about heroism or being the good guy, he fights until he's
literally crushed into the floor to keep everyone safe.

1. All Might
All Might Boku no Hero Academia wallpaper
The ultimate hero, always brave and righteous, reassuring
the world that it's in safe hands, All Might. Super fast, super strong, super
handsome, All Might's powers may not be as weird or interesting as some of the
other heroes', but they're powerful enough to make him number one. Even now
with his powers fading, All Might remains a symbol of justice and safety among
the public and heroes alike, and someone for villains to live in fear of.
All Might's crazy powerful Quirk by itself makes him come
off as one of the cooler characters, but what stands out most is his
personality. Despite seeing his weaker side and the problems he now faces due
to his injury, All Might never stops fighting for what he believes in and
protecting people. Even when he can no longer move, he still stands between evil
and the defenseless till the very end, one of the coolest things a hero can do.
