^{Click here to see him in uniform} 

Species: Human
Quirk: Explosion

Izuku's former Childhood Friend and long-time bully. Bakugou has it all: athleticism, great grades, and an extremely powerful Quirk called "Explosion", which lets him turn his sweat into a substance similar to nitroglycerin to create explosions at will. His genius is only matched by his ego and fiery temper, refusing to let anyone else top him as he sets out to become the Number One Hero.

---

• Adaptational Name Change: His hero name is Ground Zero instead of Dynamight.
• Borrowed Catchphrase: Uses Izuku's "It's Hero Time" with his own addition to it when he activates the Omnitrix for Izuku.
• Break the Haughty: He goes through a rollercoaster ride; He learns that Izuku has a far more versatile power than he has, he gets bested in the "Heroes vs Villains Test" by Izuku who uses a form that perfectly counters every one of his abilities, discovers that it is Izuku who saved his life, then in the U.A. Sports Festival, not only did Todoroki deems Deku a more Worthy Opponent than him, Bakugo gets knocked out by Uraraka, losing his chance to settle scores with Izuku. He's so distraught that he didn't attend the medal ceremony. What finally seals the deal is witnessing Izuku, as Heatblast, overpowering All Might, forcing him to finally start accepting his new reality and become a better person… for the most part.
• The Bully: Is a jerk to anyone he sees as below him.
• Everybody Has Standards: As much as he hates his former friend Izuku, he seems to agree with his mom on how much Hisashi screwed up leaving his family for ten years.
• Hidden Depths: Has a maid fetish apparently.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Water Hazard uses the same propel method that Bakugo used to defeat him.
• Hot-Blooded: His default emotion is anger. Unfortunately, this makes him easier to defeat by the more intelligent opponents.
• It's All About Me: He hates it whenever the spotlight is moved away from him. When Izuku goes on a blind rage in the Final Exam, Bakugou is more upset that the boy is ruining his chances of passing the test rather than concern for Izuku.
• Oh, Crap!: This is his reaction to fighting Water Hazard whose abilities are a natural counter to him.
• Secret-Keeper: Learns about Aliens and Izuku's Quirkless in chapter 77.
• This Cannot Be!: His reaction any time he loses a fight. It got so bad that he didn't participate in the award ceremony of the U.A. Sports Festival.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Played With. He’s still a massive prick, but he has learned to be cooperative with people, such as Izuku and Uraraka, and especially with Kirashima.
• Too Dumb to Live: You have to be extremely stupid for taunting a mentally unhinged person who has the powers of the hot sun. Regretfully, Bakugou is just that stupid.

Quirk: Electrification

---

• Adaptational Badass: To a certain extent, he learns his Supermoves "Ragnorock" and "Ragnorock: Womb" much earlier against the villain Ragnorock. In canon, Fumikage only learns the former move in the Paranormal Liberation War and the latter when Class 1-A fought Deku.
• Animal Motifs: Unsurprisingly, he's associated with birds.
• Bad Powers, Good People: And thank goodness for that. Tokoyami would be a major villainous threat with his Quirk at night if he weren't aspiring to be a hero.
• Badass Arm-Fold: This is pretty much his default posture.
• Cold Ham: He constantly tries to invoke this. When he speaks, expect Tokoyami to say something overly dramatic about the current situation:
  Tokoyami: (talking to others about Izuku's outburst in the Practical Exam) Often the gentlest and calmest of us hide away their darkest of selves.

• Locked Out of the Loop: Doesn’t know about Aliens or Plumbers but that doesn’t stop him from helping him friend in assisting Lucy Mann.
• Long-Range Fighter: He is great at keeping enemies away from him but has trouble if the enemy manages to close in through dodging or numbers.
• Man of Kryptonite: Dark Shadow can actually touch Ghostfreak when the Ectonurite is intangible. Which is learned when the shadow beast punches him in the face after he boasted about how no one could touch him.
• Meaningful Name: His first name roughly translates to "Unsavory Shadow" while his last name literally means "Eternal Darkness", both emphasizing the power and hard-to-control nature of his darkness-related Quirk.
• Multiform Balance: Depending of the surrounding light conditions, he has to sacrifice either the strength of his Quirk or his control over it. In bright light, his Dark Shadow is docile but also very weak and timid. In darkness, it's stronger but also harder to control as well. Later, he develops a technique of shrouding himself in Dark Shadow as a close-range option, trading range for improved defense.
• Non-Human Head: His head is bird-like in appearance, but everything else from the neck down is human. He also wears a red choker at all times, which hides his human neck to emphasize his bird head.
• Not So Above It All: He's a Tokyo Ghoul fan and actually panics when his mom threatens to confiscate his manga.

Quirk: Sugar Rush

A tall and strong-built student who can bake some mean desserts. His Quirk, "Sugar Rush", greatly increases his physical strength and muscle mass through an intake of sugar. However, his brain activity slows down the more sugar he consumes, making him doped up and sleepy if he overdoses.

---

• The Big Guy: Sato towers over most of his fellow pupils, except for Shoji, and he is built like a weightlifter, even by the standards of the rest of class 1-A where all the boys, bar Mineta, have a Heroic Build. Doubly so when his quirk is in action.
• Close-Range Combatant: His Quirk makes him a very efficient brawler and wrestler but he's rather disadvantaged against long range attacks.
• Dumb Muscle: Invoked. While his Quirk allows him to become stronger, it gradually makes him dumber as well.
• Gag Lips: His lips resemble nothing so much as a frosted donut.
• Hour of Power: The boost of strength he gets from ingesting sugar only lasts three minutes.
• Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: When in Super Mode, he can produce a barrage of powerful punches.

• Creepy Good: He may be one of the sweetest students in Class 1-A, but that doesn't change the fact he can command an army of bugs to swarm someone. Just ask Present Mic. Downplayed, however, as he's just as terrified by bugs as Mic, only commanding them when there's no other choice.
• Elective Mute: He's such a Shrinking Violet that he rarely ever speaks when he isn't using his Quirk, instead preferring to communicate through sign language. He starts growing out of it as the story progresses, though he's still not talkative much.
• Fire-Forged Friends: His friendship with Jiro sets off from their teamwork against Present Mic in the Final Exams Arc.
• Gentle Giant: He is one of the bigger students in the class. He's quite possibly the gentlest one too.

Stealth Hero

Species: Human
Quirk: Invisibility

A bubbly and cheerful girl whose Quirk, "Invisibility", renders her entire body permanently invisible. She is usually seen as a set of seemingly floating clothes — or in the case of her hero costume, just a pair of floating gloves and shoes. Because of this, she often jokes about her condition and can get away with states of undress no visible human could dream of trying in public.

---

1-A's most perverted student and resident Butt-Monkey, he manages to get into the Hero Course thanks to his ability to creatively use his Quirk, "Pop Off", which lets him rip the highly adhesive balls that make his hair and use them in different situations, although overdoing this will cause him to start bleeding.

---

• Blessed with Suck: How he views his own Quirk.
• Boring, but Practical: What his Quirk really falls under into. Case in point, he still managed to pass the entrance exam by trapping the robots with his balls, immobilizing them, which still counted as points. It's not flashy by any means, but they're definitely useful as traps. Too bad he's still too much of a Cowardly Lion to realize his potential.
• Casanova Wannabe: He fiends for anything with a remotely sexy figure, though as a result he doesn't have any female friends, besides perhaps Tsuyu who seems to stick around him to try and stop his lecherous tendencies.
• Cowardly Lion: He's the first to run away from battle, but push him into a corner and he'll give everything he's got to beat you.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: The lower half of his hero costume is meant to resemble a bowl, though it unfortunately looks like a reinforced diaper.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Outside of Bakugo, Mineta is probably the Class 1-A student that gets this the most, mostly due to his perverted personality. He is still good friends with Midoriya and Kaminari, at least.
• Hormone-Addled Teenager: Mineta is nothing but a bag of raging sexual hormones craving for satisfaction. He's rarely afraid to admit it:
  Tsuyu: Mineta, are you thinking of something perverted?
  Mineta: Possibly?
• I Just Want to Be Badass: Overall, this is the goal he is pursuing as a hero (that and feeling up a woman, and as his final exam reveals, the former is almost entirely in service of the latter).
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mineta may be a huge sleaze but he does demonstrate loyalty to his classmates. To complete the final exams, all he has to do is pass through the escape gate after incapacitating Midnight, but he took the time to drag his unconscious partner Sero with him.
• Required Secondary Powers: He can make himself immune to the sticky part of his balls.
