----
* TheAce: All Might was a straight example of this and continues to be a unique one, even though having been severely injured gave him a time limit on his powers. Gran Torino deconstructs this, noting that he took to One For All much more easily than Midoriya did, which caused his teaching methods (which worked for him) to be less effective for his protege.
* AffectionateParody: Of classic [[SuperHero superheroes]].
* BadassTeacher: Becomes a teacher at U.A.. He will also give a beating to anyone who tries to make his students suffer.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is almost always smiling and is the type to always lend a helping hand to anyone in need. The key word is ''almost''. If you somehow manage to get him to stop smiling, '''''you know you're in for it.'''''
* BigGood: A pillar of hope and justice for the world, with many aspiring to follow his example. [[spoiler: Fittingly enough, he's thus the only one who matches the BigBad in terms of power.]]
* BodyHorror: His weakened form is extremely emaciated and constantly vomiting blood.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Since giving Midoriya One For All, he finds that he's slowly losing his power over time, and it will eventually stop working completely.
* CallingYourAttacks: In reference to how he's based off of silver-age western superheroes, he shouts out the names of American states and landmarks. [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch He doesn't always get it completely right, though.]]
* TheCape: Definitely. Almost to the point of parody.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm here!/I have arrived!" while making a DynamicEntry and "Plus Ultra!" when trying to be inspiring or when showing off.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Played partly for laughs, but prior to [[spoiler: the U.A. villain invasion]], All Might stepped in to defuse a tense hostage situation, then moved on to stop a hit and run driver, and then... well, his commute to work ended up taking up all of the time he had that day for the use of his powers.
* DeathGlare: He gives off an incredibly potent one, whether it be against villains who threaten his students, or even when he is acting out the part of a villain in Class-A's exercise against Bakugo and Izuku. When you see that glare, RUN.
* {{Eagleland}}: Predominantly because of his UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks traits, he tends to exhibit signs of the first type. For example his workout plan for Midoriya invokes the classical [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanDream American Dream]] in its name... and the notion that those born with nothing, can one day achieve the greatest success if they work hard to earn it.
* {{Engrish}}: In the anime, he peppers his sentences with English words and phrases.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] and [[TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] [[FlyingBrick Flying Bricks]]. His ethos is almost straight-up Franchise/{{Superman}}, the nature of his Quirk and backstory are rather more [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]], and his appearance could perhaps best be described as "Comicbook/{{Miracleman}} with HairAntennae."
* GameBreakingInjury: All Might suffers from this as five years before the main story, he took a devastating hit from an unknown villain, which nearly killed him. While he survived thanks to numerous surgeries, his powers were disrupted such that he can only use them three hours a day. When he powers down, he looks like a emaciated husk of his former self that constantly keeps coughing up blood. Regardless, he keeps up his hero duties, with only Midoriya and a few of the top officials knowing about what happened, as he doesn't wish for people to lose faith in heroes like him.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:When All For One reveals that Tomura Shigaraki (a criminal that he's been pursuing) is actually the grandchild of his beloved mentor, Nana Shimura, All Might is horrified and filled with guilt. It takes a plea for help from a nearby civilian to snap him out of it.]]
** HeroicSecondWind: [[spoiler:Over his time limit and severely injured, All Might is spurred into action again by the civilian he needs to save and the people looking on.]]
* HourOfPower: Thanks to his injury, he can only tap into his full strength for a few hours a day. After giving Midoriya his One For All, this time gradually grows even shorter.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: As a result of his GameBreakingInjury, he is practically emaciated when his powers are not in use and is prone to hacking up blood.
* LargeHam: If his bold outline and loud personality didn't make it obvious, he is constantly spouting speeches about heroism and how it's important for him to be a symbol of peace.
* LegacyCharacter: It's eventually explained that he himself received "One For All" just as Midoriya did.
* LeeroyJenkins: Gran Torino calls him as the "punch first, ask later" type.
* LightningBruiser: Very few people can keep up with his sheer strength and speed. His only weakness is the [[HourOfPower time limit]] that his muscle form has.
* MomentOfWeakness: In the first chapter, he nearly abandoned Bakugou to a supervillain because he had reached his daily limit. Seeing the powerless Midoriya rush said villain in an attempt to save Bakugou convinced All Might to break his limit regardless of the risk to himself to save the day. This incident was what convinced All Might that it was time to pass on the torch and that Midoriya was a prime candidate for it.
* NotSoDifferent: Reveals to Midoriya that he used to be Quirkless himself before getting "One For All" and pretty much had the same drive he did when he was younger.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: To go with his Big Ham personality, he is drawn in a thicker outline and has more shading than everyone else.
** A few students even acknowledge this when he enters class for the first time.
* MeaningfulName: His surname contains the Kanji for "eight", referring to him being 8th wielder of One For All. It also has the character "tree/wood" in it, which likely refers to him being the pillar that currently upholds society as it is now.
* MyGreatestFailure: Discussed in chapter 70, there has never been a situation in which he hasn't made the outcome better, ''when he was there''. All Might is for all his speed and strength still only a man, he can't be everywhere and for every situation he made better there were hundreds he could do nothing for, simply because he wasn't there. This is were being TheParagon is a double-edged sword, for all that he inspires to make others like him, he as seen as ''The'' Hero of the world, so when he doesn't show up to save the day it can breed resentment.
* TheObiWan: He tries to make Midoriya his successor and gives him his power. With U.A.'s help, All Might may find the true and worthy successor, but he hopes it will be Midoriya.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Sort of. "All Might" is his hero name; but even in-universe nobody knows his real name, except for Gran Torino.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he arrives during [[spoiler: the Villain Alliance's assault]], All Might is not smiling. Even though he's in [[SuperMode hero-mode]], he isn't smiling. [[StepfordSmiler This is All Might]] we're talking about here; he is always smiling in hero-mode. That he isn't smiling makes it clear how he feels about [[spoiler: the villains trying to get at him through his students]].
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: As the villains who attacked Class 1-A found out, trying to hurt his students is an easy way to get on All Might's bad side.]]
* TheParagon: All Might isn't the "Symbol of Peace" just because he's incredibly strong, but because he's devoted to inspiring the good in others. Many of the world's other heroes and heroes-in-training aspire to follow his example.
* PassingTheTorch: How "One For All" works. It's a unique Quirk that is nurtured and passed down from generation to generation.
* PrimaryColorChampion: As seen above, his hero costume contains blue, red, yellow and white.
* PsychologistTeacher: Midoriya isn't the only student All Might tries to mentor after joining U.A.'s faculty as Bakugou and Todoroki also bring out his mentor side. He is also shown to be very encouraging to pretty much all his students.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Beats Noumu by punching him 300 times.
* RedBaron: Known as "The Symbol of Peace".
* RecoilBoost: New Hampshire Smash.
* RenownedSelectiveMentor: Passing One For All is done very selectively, considering its power. On top of that, All Might has very strict standards for taking on an apprentice. But of course, this is all done in secret with only a few in the know.
* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler: Heavily implied.]]
* ShowyInvincibleHero: What he is InUniverse. All Might is the strongest hero who is known for always winning his battles and saving everyone once he appears as the Symbol of Peace.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: If you think Aizawa is bad, All Might is even '''''worse'''''. Any poor soul paired up with him as their teacher/mentor for the day should expect a merciless beating. Doesn't matter if you're only in your first year, All Might will take you as seriously as he would a villain.
* SpinAttack: Oklahoma Smash.
* StepfordSmiler: Puts on a brave face in hero-mode to live up to his reputation as a symbol of justice, but is all too aware that he's a fallible human being and that the day is rapidly approaching when he can't be a hero anymore. [[spoiler:Chapter 92 reveals that he does this on the encouragement of his mentor, who argued that the people he rescues have been through a lot of trauma, so he should smile so as to save their hearts as well as their lives.]]
* SuperStrength: One For All. The strength boost also provides SuperSpeed and InASingleBound.
* TragicKeepsake: Implied about "One For All", which he was entrusted to by his now-deceased friend.
* WorldsBestWarrior: The highest-ranked hero. Even though he has weakened a bit in the last years, he still managed to keep the top spot.

He also has cats as his animal motif as opposed to Kakashi's dogs. He and Kakashi are also noted to have refused to teach students in the past because they didn't pass his personal test.
** His callous personality, overall appearance (build and hairstyle), and status as one of the protagonist's main mentors hearkens back to Tiamat from the author's first work, ''Manga/{{Barrage}}''.
* {{Foil}}: To All Might. All Might is the highest ranking hero in the world and uses his fame to inspire others while Eraserhead has a slovenly appearance and shuns the spotlight. All Might in his prime has incredible strength and stamina where Eraserhead has great skill, but prefers to strike quickly and with the element of surprise as he lacks the endurance for long, protracted battles. Lastly, All Might's power empowers him with the strength of many men, and his personality is to build up those who have the desire to do good. Eraserhead's Quirk robs others of their powers, and his personality is to tear down those who he feels show no potential.
* HeroicRROD: The more he uses his power, the longer it takes for it to kick in again when he blinks. This creates brief windows where his opponents can use their Quirks.
* ILied: Proclaims that the one who ranks last in his exercises on the first day will be kicked out of the school. Then he says he was lying just to get more effort out of them. [[spoiler:All Might calls him out on this, pointing out that in a previous year, he had expelled his entire class. Aizawa admits that he would have followed through if the one ranking last showed zero potential to be a hero. Since the one who did rank last, Midoriya, did show some potential in his eyes, he decided to pretend he had been lying.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may act like the stern, standoffish teacher, but it's shown that he actually cares about his students. During the simulated fight against Yaoyorozu and Todoroki, he allows Yaoyorozu to claim victory for the team instead of capitalizing on her mistake and defeating them. Also, he always prioritizes the safety of his students whenever villains enter the picture.
* LazyBum: Introduced sleeping on a floor in front of his classroom in a sleeping bag. He also often teaches while in said sleeping bag.
* LogicalWeakness: Aizawa must maintain eye contact for his Quirk to work. This means depriving him of sleep or forcing him to stare at a single person for an extended period of time will make his eyes tired and thus reduce the effectiveness of his Quirk.
* MagicalEye: It's by looking at someone that he can erase Quirks.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Seems like an offbeat fellow but can get just as serious when the time comes.
* OneManArmy: Surrounded by villains with a few that can't be stopped by his eraser power. Doesn't stop him in the slightest as he reveals he excels at hand to hand even without his Quirk.
* PapaWolf: Much like with All Might, attacking his students is a good way to end up in the hospital. He was also angered by the crowd during the fight between Uraraka and Bakugou, telling those that booed Bakugou for supposedly bullying Uraraka that they shouldn't be heroes anymore, because not only did they not notice Bakugou was playing it safe, but because none of them had noticed Uraraka had been setting up a big attack.
* PowerNullifier: His Quirk allows him to erase other people's Quirks rendering them helpless. However it only works on Emitter or Transformation types. Mutant types (i.e: Quirks that have changed a person's body) are immune to it.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A multi-layered one around his neck which he uses to bind his opponents.
* SternTeacher: At first he seems to be an ApatheticTeacher, but it eventually comes to light that he just has high standards and very low opinions on those who don't meet them.
* WeaksauceWeakness: His Quirk would be even more useful if he didn't suffer from dry eye.

----
* AllLovingHero: There's a reason he's the guy teaching kids how to use their power for good - he outright believes ANY power can be used to save lives, and that saving lives is their natural use.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unknown how he looks under that space suit. Even WordOfGod wonders about it.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: His black holes are used exclusively for disaster relief and sometimes the capturing of villains.
* DarkIsNotEvil: See BadPowersGoodPeople above.
* PoweredArmor: His spacesuit is designed to keep his black holes under control - for example, his fingers have little caps he can flip up and use the gravity of the black holes he produces inside to vacuum-clean debris and pull things toward him slowly.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Uses his black holes for clean up during rescue missions, but mentions that he has to keep control over it so that it doesn't kill the people he's trying to rescue. This is because his black holes pretty much disintegrate everything it sucks to a molecular level.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: His Quirk can essentially be described as black hole fingers.
* UnskilledButStrong: Kurogiri pretty much says this; being that No. 13's Quirk is very dangerous, but he himself has no experience fighting villains, to his detriment.

* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler: Had she stayed at the escape gate, she could've run down the clock and failed Sero and Mineta from the exam. However, her sadistic nature led to pursuing Mineta, only to get pinned down by his Quirk far away from the gate.]]
* ChainedByFashion: Has two handcuffs on her wrists.
* ChristmasCake: In an omake, Mount Lady accuses her of being this by making a catty comment about her age (which is 31).
* KnockoutGas: Her Quirk.
* MsFanservice: Rivals Mount Lady in this department.
* {{Sadist}}: Watching someone run away in terror gets her heart throbbing.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Just in case the outfit and S&M theme didn't give it away. And she doesn't see any problem whatsoever with refereeing the ''freshman'' class's events in costume, either. And in the above-mentioned omake, it's heavily implied that her costume used to actually leave her breasts exposed instead of being covered by super-sheer tights, and she only changed it when she was forced to by legislation to regulate how much hero costumes can expose.
** Subverted. In order to use her power, she has to rip part of the tights herself, meaning that exposing as much skin as possible is necessary for her to be effective.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit just screams this.

His Quirk is "High Specs", which grants him SuperIntelligence.
----
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Mostly averted, as he chose to use his intelligence for heroic ends despite the experiments that were performed on him, but that doesn't mean that he won't enjoy the occasional opportunity to make humans squirm.
* CartoonCreature: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in his very introduction.

! [[spoiler: Toshinori Yagi]] -- All Might
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese), Creator/ChristopherSabat (English)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/all_might_hero_form_full_body.png]]
[[caption-width-right:280:[[labelnote:Click here to see his true form]][[quoteright:188:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/all_might_full_body_true_form.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
The highest ranked hero in the world and a pillar of hope and justice for heroes everywhere to follow. After an intense battle with a dangerous supervillain, he can only be his normal self for up to three hours a day. After he hits his time limit, he becomes a lanky, skeletal man who constantly coughs up blood. Only a select few staff at U.A. know this, and even fewer know the true nature of his Quirk. At the start of the manga, Midoriya proves himself to All Might and inherits "One For All".
----
* TheAce: All Might was a straight example of this and continues to be a unique one, even though having been severely injured gave him a time limit on his powers. Gran Torino deconstructs this, noting that he took to One For All much more easily than Midoriya did, which caused his teaching methods (which worked for him) to be less effective for his protege.
* AffectionateParody: Of classic [[SuperHero superheroes]].
* BadassTeacher: Becomes a teacher at U.A.. He will also give a beating to anyone who tries to make his students suffer.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is almost always smiling and is the type to always lend a helping hand to anyone in need. The key word is ''almost''. If you somehow manage to get him to stop smiling, '''''you know you're in for it.'''''
* BigGood: A pillar of hope and justice for the world, with many aspiring to follow his example. [[spoiler: Fittingly enough, he's thus the only one who matches the BigBad in terms of power.]]
* BodyHorror: His weakened form is extremely emaciated and constantly vomiting blood.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Since giving Midoriya One For All, he finds that he's slowly losing his power over time, and it will eventually stop working completely.
* CallingYourAttacks: In reference to how he's based off of silver-age western superheroes, he shouts out the names of American states and landmarks. [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch He doesn't always get it completely right, though.]]
* TheCape: Definitely. Almost to the point of parody.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm here!/I have arrived!" while making a DynamicEntry and "Plus Ultra!" when trying to be inspiring or when showing off.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Played partly for laughs, but prior to [[spoiler: the U.A. villain invasion]], All Might stepped in to defuse a tense hostage situation, then moved on to stop a hit and run driver, and then... well, his commute to work ended up taking up all of the time he had that day for the use of his powers.
* DeathGlare: He gives off an incredibly potent one, whether it be against villains who threaten his students, or even when he is acting out the part of a villain in Class-A's exercise against Bakugo and Izuku. When you see that glare, RUN.
* {{Eagleland}}: Predominantly because of his UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks traits, he tends to exhibit signs of the first type. For example his workout plan for Midoriya invokes the classical [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanDream American Dream]] in its name... and the notion that those born with nothing, can one day achieve the greatest success if they work hard to earn it.
* {{Engrish}}: In the anime, he peppers his sentences with English words and phrases.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] and [[TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] [[FlyingBrick Flying Bricks]]. His ethos is almost straight-up Franchise/{{Superman}}, the nature of his Quirk and backstory are rather more [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]], and his appearance could perhaps best be described as "Comicbook/{{Miracleman}} with HairAntennae."
* GameBreakingInjury: All Might suffers from this as five years before the main story, he took a devastating hit from an unknown villain, which nearly killed him. While he survived thanks to numerous surgeries, his powers were disrupted such that he can only use them three hours a day. When he powers down, he looks like a emaciated husk of his former self that constantly keeps coughing up blood. Regardless, he keeps up his hero duties, with only Midoriya and a few of the top officials knowing about what happened, as he doesn't wish for people to lose faith in heroes like him.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:When All For One reveals that Tomura Shigaraki (a criminal that he's been pursuing) is actually the grandchild of his beloved mentor, Nana Shimura, All Might is horrified and filled with guilt. It takes a plea for help from a nearby civilian to snap him out of it.]]
** HeroicSecondWind: [[spoiler:Over his time limit and severely injured, All Might is spurred into action again by the civilian he needs to save and the people looking on.]]
* HourOfPower: Thanks to his injury, he can only tap into his full strength for a few hours a day. After giving Midoriya his One For All, this time gradually grows even shorter.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: As a result of his GameBreakingInjury, he is practically emaciated when his powers are not in use and is prone to hacking up blood.
* LargeHam: If his bold outline and loud personality didn't make it obvious, he is constantly spouting speeches about heroism and how it's important for him to be a symbol of peace.
* LegacyCharacter: It's eventually explained that he himself received "One For All" just as Midoriya did.
* LeeroyJenkins: Gran Torino calls him as the "punch first, ask later" type.
* LightningBruiser: Very few people can keep up with his sheer strength and speed. His only weakness is the [[HourOfPower time limit]] that his muscle form has.
* MomentOfWeakness: In the first chapter, he nearly abandoned Bakugou to a supervillain because he had reached his daily limit. Seeing the powerless Midoriya rush said villain in an attempt to save Bakugou convinced All Might to break his limit regardless of the risk to himself to save the day. This incident was what convinced All Might that it was time to pass on the torch and that Midoriya was a prime candidate for it.
* NotSoDifferent: Reveals to Midoriya that he used to be Quirkless himself before getting "One For All" and pretty much had the same drive he did when he was younger.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: To go with his Big Ham personality, he is drawn in a thicker outline and has more shading than everyone else.
** A few students even acknowledge this when he enters class for the first time.
* MeaningfulName: His surname contains the Kanji for "eight", referring to him being 8th wielder of One For All. It also has the character "tree/wood" in it, which likely refers to him being the pillar that currently upholds society as it is now.
* MyGreatestFailure: Discussed in chapter 70, there has never been a situation in which he hasn't made the outcome better, ''when he was there''. All Might is for all his speed and strength still only a man, he can't be everywhere and for every situation he made better there were hundreds he could do nothing for, simply because he wasn't there. This is were being TheParagon is a double-edged sword, for all that he inspires to make others like him, he as seen as ''The'' Hero of the world, so when he doesn't show up to save the day it can breed resentment.
* TheObiWan: He tries to make Midoriya his successor and gives him his power. With U.A.'s help, All Might may find the true and worthy successor, but he hopes it will be Midoriya.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Sort of. "All Might" is his hero name; but even in-universe nobody knows his real name, except for Gran Torino.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he arrives during [[spoiler: the Villain Alliance's assault]], All Might is not smiling. Even though he's in [[SuperMode hero-mode]], he isn't smiling. [[StepfordSmiler This is All Might]] we're talking about here; he is always smiling in hero-mode. That he isn't smiling makes it clear how he feels about [[spoiler: the villains trying to get at him through his students]].
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: As the villains who attacked Class 1-A found out, trying to hurt his students is an easy way to get on All Might's bad side.]]
* TheParagon: All Might isn't the "Symbol of Peace" just because he's incredibly strong, but because he's devoted to inspiring the good in others. Many of the world's other heroes and heroes-in-training aspire to follow his example.
* PassingTheTorch: How "One For All" works. It's a unique Quirk that is nurtured and passed down from generation to generation.
* PrimaryColorChampion: As seen above, his hero costume contains blue, red, yellow and white.
* PsychologistTeacher: Midoriya isn't the only student All Might tries to mentor after joining U.A.'s faculty as Bakugou and Todoroki also bring out his mentor side. He is also shown to be very encouraging to pretty much all his students.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Beats Noumu by punching him 300 times.
* RedBaron: Known as "The Symbol of Peace".
* RecoilBoost: New Hampshire Smash.
* RenownedSelectiveMentor: Passing One For All is done very selectively, considering its power. On top of that, All Might has very strict standards for taking on an apprentice. But of course, this is all done in secret with only a few in the know.
* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler: Heavily implied.]]
* ShowyInvincibleHero: What he is InUniverse. All Might is the strongest hero who is known for always winning his battles and saving everyone once he appears as the Symbol of Peace.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: If you think Aizawa is bad, All Might is even '''''worse'''''. Any poor soul paired up with him as their teacher/mentor for the day should expect a merciless beating. Doesn't matter if you're only in your first year, All Might will take you as seriously as he would a villain.
* SpinAttack: Oklahoma Smash.
* StepfordSmiler: Puts on a brave face in hero-mode to live up to his reputation as a symbol of justice, but is all too aware that he's a fallible human being and that the day is rapidly approaching when he can't be a hero anymore. [[spoiler:Chapter 92 reveals that he does this on the encouragement of his mentor, who argued that the people he rescues have been through a lot of trauma, so he should smile so as to save their hearts as well as their lives.]]
* SuperStrength: One For All. The strength boost also provides SuperSpeed and InASingleBound.
* TragicKeepsake: Implied about "One For All", which he was entrusted to by his now-deceased friend.
* WorldsBestWarrior: The highest-ranked hero. Even though he has weakened a bit in the last years, he still managed to keep the top spot.

Homeroom teacher of Class 1-A. Presented as a bit of a LazyBum, he's's really the former hero Eraserhead, whose Quirk , "Erasure", can erase other people's Quirks just by looking at them.
----
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: As All Might notes, his observational skills are top-notch.
* BadassTeacher: Although his teaching methods can be rather questionable.
* CelebrityIsOverrated: Dislikes the attention of the media, believing that it gets in the way of his job as a hero. This results in him being very obscure to the general population.
* CoolShades: Wears a pair when he goes in his Eraserhead persona, with the intent to keep his opponents from knowing who he's looking at. Particularly useful against a crowd.
* TheCowl: His general design is based on this trope, being an underground hero that avoids media attention and works as a {{Foil}} to [[TheCape All Might]].
* {{Expy}}: To Kakashi of ''{{Manga/Naruto}}''. His [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass stand-offish personality]], a MagicalEye, and [[BrilliantButLazy prefers to sleep all day if he could]].

** His callous personality, overall appearance (build and hairstyle), and status as one of the protagonist's main mentors hearkens back to Tiamat from the author's first work, ''Manga/{{Barrage}}''.
* {{Foil}}: To All Might. All Might is the highest ranking hero in the world and uses his fame to inspire others while Eraserhead has a slovenly appearance and shuns the spotlight. All Might in his prime has incredible strength and stamina where Eraserhead has great skill, but prefers to strike quickly and with the element of surprise as he lacks the endurance for long, protracted battles.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may act like the stern, standoffish teacher, but it's shown that he actually cares about his students. During the simulated fight against Yaoyorozu and Todoroki, he allows Yaoyorozu to claim victory for the team instead of capitalizing on her mistake and defeating them. Also, he always prioritizes the safety of his students whenever villains enter the picture.
* LazyBum: Introduced sleeping on a floor in front of his classroom in a sleeping bag. He also often teaches while in said sleeping bag.
* LogicalWeakness: Aizawa must maintain eye contact for his Quirk to work. This means depriving him of sleep or forcing him to stare at a single person for an extended period of time will make his eyes tired and thus reduce the effectiveness of his Quirk.
* MagicalEye: It's by looking at someone that he can erase Quirks.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Seems like an offbeat fellow but can get just as serious when the time comes.
* OneManArmy: Surrounded by villains with a few that can't be stopped by his eraser power. Doesn't stop him in the slightest as he reveals he excels at hand to hand even without his Quirk.

* PowerNullifier: His Quirk allows him to erase other people's Quirks rendering them helpless. However it only works on Emitter or Transformation types. Mutant types (i.e: Quirks that have changed a person's body) are immune to it.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A multi-layered one around his neck which he uses to bind his opponents.
* SternTeacher: At first he seems to be an ApatheticTeacher, but it eventually comes to light that he just has high standards and very low opinions on those who don't meet them.

* SecretKeeper: She is one of the few people who knows everything about All Might's Quirk.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Delivers one to All Might when Midoriya's drive to meet his expectations results in three limbs so broken they can't be healed with her Quirk the normal way, requiring surgery.
** Does it again after [[spoiler: the training session in which Deku and Bakugou are brutally beaten by All Might's overwhelming strength, saying that Deku's lower back was within a hair's breadth of snapping beyond all recovery.]]

[[folder:Thirteen]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Inuko Inuyama
[[quoteright:265:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/no_13.png]]
Nicknamed "Space Hero No. 13", he is a teacher that overlooks the rescue exercises. A man in a space suit who is known for working with disaster relief. His Quirk is "Black Hole".
----
* AllLovingHero: There's a reason he's the guy teaching kids how to use their power for good - he outright believes ANY power can be used to save lives, and that saving lives is their natural use.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unknown how he looks under that space suit. Even WordOfGod wonders about it.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: His black holes are used exclusively for disaster relief and sometimes the capturing of villains.
* DarkIsNotEvil: See BadPowersGoodPeople above.
* PoweredArmor: His spacesuit is designed to keep his black holes under control - for example, his fingers have little caps he can flip up and use the gravity of the black holes he produces inside to vacuum-clean debris and pull things toward him slowly.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Uses his black holes for clean up during rescue missions, but mentions that he has to keep control over it so that it doesn't kill the people he's trying to rescue. This is because his black holes pretty much disintegrate everything it sucks to a molecular level.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: His Quirk can essentially be described as black hole fingers.
* UnskilledButStrong: Kurogiri pretty much says this; being that No. 13's Quirk is very dangerous, but he himself has no experience fighting villains, to his detriment.

[[folder:Ken Ishiyama -- Cementoss]]
A being who can control any form of cement through his Quirk, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Cement]]".
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: There's a reason he's described as a "being".
* BadassBookworm / BadassTeacher: He's also the Modern Literature teacher.
* DishingOutDirt: Anything with concrete he can control.
* HomeFieldAdvantage: Very powerful in urban settings thanks to the abundance of concrete.
* LogicalWeakness: Doesn't fare well in areas that have no concrete for him to manipulate, such as forests and such.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He is a Hero and a big fan of All Might.
* SecretKeeper: In the know about All Might's condition.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Nemuri Kayama -- Midnight]]
A heroine who has an S&M theme. She refs the the Sports Festival. Her Quirk is "Sleep Gas", which allows her to release a sleep-inducing fragrance from her body.
----
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Doesn't appear to be wearing anything to cover her breasts, but also has no visible nipples. Though in one omake, she states that she's actually wearing super-sheer tights.
* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler: Had she stayed at the escape gate, she could've run down the clock and failed Sero and Mineta from the exam. However, her sadistic nature led to pursuing Mineta, only to get pinned down by his Quirk far away from the gate.]]
* ChainedByFashion: Has two handcuffs on her wrists.
* ChristmasCake: In an omake, Mount Lady accuses her of being this by making a catty comment about her age (which is 31).
* KnockoutGas: Her Quirk.
* MsFanservice: Rivals Mount Lady in this department.
* {{Sadist}}: Watching someone run away in terror gets her heart throbbing.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Just in case the outfit and S&M theme didn't give it away. And she doesn't see any problem whatsoever with refereeing the ''freshman'' class's events in costume, either. And in the above-mentioned omake, it's heavily implied that her costume used to actually leave her breasts exposed instead of being covered by super-sheer tights, and she only changed it when she was forced to by legislation to regulate how much hero costumes can expose.
** Subverted. In order to use her power, she has to rip part of the tights herself, meaning that exposing as much skin as possible is necessary for her to be effective.
* {{Stripperific}}: Her outfit just screams this.
* WhipItGood: As expected of a S&M-themed hero.
[[/folder]]

----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: He can create a huge copy of himself.
* BadassLongcoat
* DarkIsNotEvil: Very creepy-looking, but he's a hero and a teacher.
* MesACrowd: His Quirk. He's limited to creating around 30 clones of himself at once. He can also create a big copy, but at the expense of not being able to create more clones while the big one is active.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: If you can even call ectoplasmic copies that are belched out by a superhero "ghosts" to begin with.
* SoulPower: Can manipulate ectoplasm to form clones of himself.

His Quirk is "High Specs", which grants him SuperIntelligence.
----
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Mostly averted, as he chose to use his intelligence for heroic ends despite the experiments that were performed on him, but that doesn't mean that he won't enjoy the occasional opportunity to make humans squirm.
* CartoonCreature: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in his very introduction.
* CharacterFilibuster: All Might [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it best.
-->'''All Might''': With the principal, if I let him go on it'll never end...
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Actually has a real name but has so far only been referred to as the school's principal.
* EvilLaugh: When showing his "darker" side.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal
* IntellectualAnimal: Thanks to his Quirk, he's actually smarter than any human.
* PettingZooPeople: Actually an animal who was morphed to have a anthropomorphic body by his Quirk.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: So far, he appears to be a nice, smart and trustworthy person, enough to be one of the few people that knows about the true nature of All Might's "One For All".
* RuggedScar: Has one on his right eye.
* SuperIntelligence: His Quirk, and its not that he is an animal with human level intelligence, his Quirk has made him the smartest person on the planet.
