Just when you thought it was over, My Hero Academia came out swinging with its prequel spin-off, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. Set several years before our hero, Midoriya Izuku’s, entry into the storyline, the show focuses on three central characters known as the Naruhata Vigilantes, illegal heroes who perform hero work without a government-approved hero license.

These are all the Vigilantes in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes ranked from worst to best.
But with a flurry of new characters also comes a string of new, powerful Quirks to match. From a Quirk that turns you into the equivalent of the Flash to one that allows you to produce bombs from your body, here are the most powerful Quirks from My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.
10
Leap
User: Kazuho Haneyama
Owned by Kazuho Haneyama (alias Pop Step), Leap is as direct as it sounds, allowing its user to jump to extraordinary heights. Kazuho mainly uses her Quirk to reach traffic signs so that she can perform her street concerts, or simply to evade capture.
The Quirk pairs well with Koichi’s Slide and Glide, as the duo regularly work together as part of the Naruhata Vigilantes. However, activating Leap requires the user to have a firm base from which to leap.
9
Electric Eel
User: Teruo Unagisawa
Electric Eel is a mutation of the Eel Quirk owned by Teruo Unagisawa, who is a huge fan of Pop Step. Teruo had used Trigger during a Pop Step concert and caused havoc with his supercharged Eel Quirk, but then he was kidnapped by the Villain Factory, with his Quirk being experimented on and boosted.
This Quirk not only retains the slimy, slippery feel to their skin, which helped him evade capture the first time, but is now capable of releasing electricity from his body.
8
Propagation
User: Cluster Bombers
One of the Quirks of the beastly Cluster Bomber monsters made by the Villain Factory, Propagation grants them the ability to grow multiple limbs across their body. The more duplicates they make, the more power boost they receive.
The villain Number 6 could also use this Quirk when he decides to merge Propagation, Regeneration, and a couple of Bomber cells to create mini-bombers and spread more chaos around the general population.
7
Bombify
User: Number 6
Aside from Overclock, one of the many other Quirks Number 6 holds is Bombify. It’s likely a Quirk stolen by All For One or one that was personally created by his evil right-hand man and sidekick, Dr Kyudai.

In short, Bombify gives its user the ability to create bombs from any part of their body. Number 6 uses it often in conjunction with his Detonation Quirk, unleashing massive damage, as it’s shown that the Quirk allows you to produce multiple bombs simultaneously.
6
Detonation
User: Number 6; Bombers
Another one of Number 6’s arsenal of Quirks, the Detonation Quirk is most likely artificially made in a lab by All For One’s lackeys. Also known as the Self-Detonation Quirk, this Quirk causes a limb to glow and inflate until it results in a massive explosion.
Often seen and used by Bombers – monsters made by the Villain Factory – this Quirk would usually kill them as soon as the Quirk activates. However, since Number 6 was also given a Regeneration Quirk, he was able to use this Quirk without serious issue.
5
Cloud
User: Shirakumo Oboro
This Quirk is not only noted for its usefulness for rescue and evasion, but also for its tragic origins. Owned by Shirakumo Oboro, he was best friends with Eraser Head and Present Mic during their time in UA High. When Oboro died after being crushed by debris, his corpse was stolen and repurposed by All For One, and his Quirk was the foundation for Kurogiri’s Warp Gate ability.
Oboro could summon and create clouds of varying size, using them to transport himself and others to safety if necessary. He could even manipulate the density of his clouds to act as a shield and hurl clouds at his opponents to obscure their vision.
4
Queen Bee
User: Kuin Hachisuka
The Quirk of one of the villains of the show, the Queen Bee Quirk may not be powerful in the sense that it’s similar to Endeavour’s or All Might’s, but it’s startlingly effective for covert operations. Unfortunately, its user, Kuin Hachisuka, has decided to use it to hurt others and orchestrate a chaotic plot to spread Trigger (a Quirk-enhancing drug) among the civilian population.
The Queen Bee Quirk allows Kuin to control a swarm of bees and even glean information from them. These bees can carry substances in their stingers, which Kuin uses as a method to inject Trigger into her victims without their knowledge. The Quirk can also be used to possess someone, with Kuin possessing the body of Knuckleduster’s daughter, Tamao. However, Kuin would feel immense pain anytime one of her bees is destroyed.
3
Flight
User: Captain Celebrity
Although this Quirk sounds pretty self-explanatory, Flight is actually a very versatile Quirk with a range of uses. The Quirk of one of America’s top Pro-Heroes, Captain Celebrity (real name Christopher Skyline), offers more than just allowing him to fly high in the sky.

When airborne, he can go extremely fast and, interestingly, he can create a barrier of any size and length to protect himself and the person he’s protecting from heat or flying projectiles. Christopher is noted to have immense superhuman strength, which appears to be a byproduct of his Quirk.
2
Overclock
(Former) User: Iwao Oguro
Overclock is a Quirk that once belonged to Iwao Oguro, also known as Pro-Hero O’Clock. However, his Quirk was stolen by All For One, and after that, Iwao left his hero career and became the vigilante Knuckleduster. With the Quirk in his possession, All For One eventually gave it to the villain Number 6.
In essence, Overclock is a speed Quirk, one which accelerates the brain’s function to the point where everything around the user is in slow motion. Aside from unimaginable speed, Overclock was used by Number 6 to put his cells into overdrive to help his injuries heal faster. However, due to the sheer speed at which the user is going, the user can only use it for a limited consecutive uses since there are lengthy cooldown times in between.
1
Slide And Glide
User: Koichi Haimawari
The Quirk of our main protagonist, Slide and Glide, doesn’t seem like a powerful Quirk at first glance. In the beginning, Koichi notes that his Quirk requires him to have at least three points of contact to activate the repulsive and attractive forces from his hands and feet. However, this doesn’t appear to be necessary after his control over his Quirk improves throughout the story.
At first, Koichi mainly used his Quirk to get him places, and he only has the maximum speed of a bicycle. By the time his arc concludes, Slide and Glide is noted for its versatility. Not only is Koichi able to shoot repulsion beams from his hands, but he can also boost his speed and even fly for limited amounts of time.
