RELATED: My Hero Academia: The Villains Who Had The Best Introductions, Ranked
With the latest season currently airing, there’s no better time to get into this amazing series and check out exactly why it has become such a raging phenomenon. The setting of U.A. High is pretty compelling, with its faculty being no slouch in terms of both power and intelligence. Here are some of the best teachers in U.A. High who can be more than competent against the strongest villains around.
10 Power Loader
The prime authority on developing costumes for students and teachers alike in U.A. High, Power Loader’s Quirk might not be all that impressive. His fingertips are made of steel and help him out a ton in digging and mining materials.
It’s not exciting, but Power Loader’s impact on the series can’t be denied. He’s the reason why so many heroes are able to perform to their fullest, wearing attire that perfectly complements their powers.
9 Vlad King
The homeroom teacher of Class 1-B isn’t really anyone to write home about. Sure, he might have a great character design, but not a lot of his personality has been seen aside from him featuring a pretty competitive yet calm spirit.
That being said, there’s no denying that Vlad King has an amazing Quirk. Being able to manipulate one’s own blood is a pretty unique Quirk indeed, and fans can only wait and see if this hero gets to use this Quirk in more combat situations over time.
8 Hound Dog
Hound Dog is the Guidance Counselor of U.A. High, which is pretty hilarious given how brash his personality can be at times. His Quirk is pretty simple, making him out to be a half-man half-dog who can enjoy the best of both worlds.

The way he talks is pretty entertaining, with his speech devolving into grunts and growls when he gets agitated. The only reason why Hound Dog doesn’t rank higher is that other heroes have either shown better Quirks or have received more screen time in My Hero Academia.
7 Snipe
In a world where people can transform into entirely different beings and boast everything from flight to super strength, it’s certainly rather underwhelming to see that Snipe’s Quirk mainly boils down to expert marksmanship. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing either.
After all, Snipe doesn’t waste any time in taking amazing shots that would take the average joe hours to learn. It’s just a shame that his otherwise practical Quirk is completely overshadowed by the others.
6 Ectoplasm
It wouldn’t be surprising if Ectoplasm and Twice end up battling at one point during the Paranormal Liberation arc. After all, both characters have Quirks that let them generate clones, even if Twice’s scale might’ve reached a whole new level.
Ectoplasm can only generate around 30 or so clones in comparison, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. After all, his clones seem sturdier, and Ectoplasm also has the ability to overextend his Quirk and manifest a giant version of himself as well!
5 Cementoss
At a glance, Cementoss might seem like a rather run-of-the-mill hero. However, assuming that is downright insulting given the sheer potential his Quirk has already shown.
Cementoss can manipulate cement in ways that are pretty impressive, making him one of the strongest teachers in U.A. High. It’s just a shame that he doesn’t get enough screen time to showcase the awesomeness of his Quirk.
4 Midnight
Midnight is a teacher who needs no introduction, with her presence being quite palpable across the series. Her Quirk isn’t the greatest around, even if the ability to induce multiple people into a deep sleep might seem rather interesting.
However, Midnight more than makes up for her lackluster Quirk with an infectious personality that makes her one of the more likable teachers on the show. There’s no denying that she would’ve been higher up the list had her Quirk been more powerful and less passive.
3 Present Mic
It seems that Present Mic is bound to play a bigger role in the events to come. The revelation that Kurogiri used to be a regular hero who hung around with him and Aizawa made for a pretty interesting side story indeed.

Present Mic’s powers might seem more suited for celebratory proceedings than battle, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. His ability to turn his voice into a distraction makes him ideal for a support role, with more battle-tuned heroes being able to get on the front lines with his loud Quirk doing a ton of the heavy lifting too.
2 Eraser Head
Shota Aizawa isn’t just one of the best teachers in My Hero Academia — he’s also one of the more accomplished heroes on the list. His Quirk cancels out the effect of another, which might seem like a simple power but has the potential to be something amazing in battle.
It helps that Aizawa is extremely proficient at using a binding cloth in battle, making him great in close-quarters combat. Once he manages to cancel out another villain’s Quirk, Eraser Head can definitely hold his own and even win in a one-on-one fight.
1 All Might
All Might is one of the most iconic heroes in the entire series. His initial appearance made him seem like an untouchable deity, which is why the more human moments featuring this character end up being so interesting in their own way.
He might be retired, but All Might’s influence is still palpable throughout the series. Both Midoriya and Endeavor are trying to fill the huge void left behind by All Might’s retirement, with his resounding and confident words still helping Japan cope with the recent rise in villainy.
